A doctor in Atlanta confirmed Monday that Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry has Hodgkin’s lymphoma and said it is “very treatable.”

After Berry experienced chest discomfort during the Chiefs’ game against the Oakland Raiders on Nov. 20, a mass was found in the 25-year-old’s chest, and a preliminary diagnosis of lymphoma was made.

Berry then went to Emory University’s Winship Cancer Institute in Atlanta for further testing.

“This is a diagnosis that is very treatable and potentially curable with standard chemotherapy approaches,” Dr. Christopher R. Flowers said in a statement Monday. “The goal of Mr. Berry’s treatment is to cure his lymphoma, and we are beginning that treatment now.”
