According to the Daily News, Yankee legend Bobby Murcer will be need to undergo another biopsy on his brain. Scheduled for Monday, an MRI detected a part that Murcer’s doctors are very “concerned about”. Let us all pray for Bobby and his family during this very difficult time and wish him a speedy recovery.
Below is the email his wife sent out to friends and family:
hello dears…
guess it’s been too long since we’ve sent any new messages about our crazy, jam-packed life… and I’ve always said that “no news is good news”, however, that’s why I’m getting this to you today. Bobby’s MRI Tuesday showed an area that the docs are concerned about, and he is scheduled for a brain biopsy at MDA this coming Monday . . . Please pray that it will be determined to be necrosis (scar tissue from the radiation), and not another cancerous tumor. It’s one of the two.
we’ve had to make many travel changes, but still hope to be in Tampa for spring training games by the 7th, then to NYC for opening day on the 31st. Life comes with a few bitter pills to swallow, and we are trying to digest this latest bit of information with God’s grace as our strength.
many of you know that our dear friend, Dr. Sam Hassenbusch, lost his battle with this insideous disease last Monday . . . He was such a good man, and taught us much about how best to handle adversity while inspiring everyone on his path along the way. We have been blessed with the Hassenbusch family’s encouragement this last year.
Just know that we are dealing with this the only way we know how… with God, family, friends, prayers. It’s a bump in the road, and we care so much that each of you are staying with us as the journey continues.
lots of xoxoxoxo, k & bobby
Good luck Bobby. We’re pulling for you.
Hat tip to RAB.
