Will have surgery later this week.
As reported on 1560, seeking link now.
-
crap, that sucks.
-
That is awful. Prayers and best wishes to him and his family!
-
How awful. Best of luck, Sean.
And moving on to mundane and comparitively meaningless issues, it seemed to me (based on nothing beyond reading too much in to out-of-context quotes) that Berry was one of the only folks on the staff that was talking sense to the players and fighting through the Cooperisms, so an extended departure to recover sucks for that reason too.

Awful news. Here's hoping for a full and speedy recovery.
-
Wow. Thank God (literally) for the medical center. He'll get really good care.
-
i had this scare with kidney cysts a few years ago. the doc told me kidney cancer generally is very slow moving.
-
Wow! Thoughts and prayers for Sean and family.
-
Geeeez. Sucks. Best of luck to him and his family.

There are so many varieties and manifestations. Hopefully they caught it in time and can take care of it easily.

Terrible news. My thoughts go out to Sean and his family.
-
Thoughts and prayers to the Berry family.

Thoughts and prayers to him.
Another person to add to your thoughts and prayers in the Astros org.- long time pitching coach in Lexington, Charley Taylor had surgery earlier this spring to remove his prostate and cancerous bladder. He is hoping to be able to visit the team in early June.
-
cancer is such a scary word and knows no boundaries. thoughts and prayers to those in the astros organizations and anyone affected in any way on this site
-
Everyone I know is or has delt with cancer in some form, be it family or friends. I lost my mom to breast cancer in 2000, she was 53. Cancer don't care. My thoughts and prayers are with the Berry family and the Astros organization. Early detection is the best way to fight it and hopefully Sean has a leg up on it. Guys and gals, please have your self checked early and often. We want you here and so does your family.

So who is working with the pitchers in Lex? This is where alot of the best pitching talent is in the organization. Prayers and good thoughts to Taylor.
-
Hope you're okay, Sean. You're a good hitting coach and a good guy. We'll be thinking of you.

Amazing story (http://houston.astros.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090506&content_id=4589036&vkey=news_hou&fext=.jsp&c_id=hou) from Footer on how this was detected. Apparently Dave Clark organized BP for the coaches in Atlanta, and the swinging caused Berry some discomfort, and eventually, bleeding tht led him to get this checked out.
ETA: I missed that this was an update of the original link.

Travis Driskill was scheduled to be the pitching coach in G'ville this year. So instead of hanging out in Extended spring, he is in Lex working with the staff. He worked with all the starters except Bono last year in G'ville.

Footers discusses prognosis, treatment, etc. in her blog (LINK) (http://footer.mlblogs.com/).
If there is a silver lining to Sean's condition, it's that this cancer is extremely treatable and should be 100 percent gone once the tumor is removed. He might even be able to do it laproscopically, which would require just a short recovery time.
"You always hear this is the one you want to get," Berry said. "After they cut it out, I should be 100 percent fine. No chemo, no radiation."]/i]

That is the silver lining. Hopefully they get it out, and it doesn't recur.

His attitude about the whole thing has been remarkable.

Footer Twitter,
It appears Berry will have the entire kidney removed rather than just the tumor.

I'm wishing, hoping, praying, for a speedy full recovery for Sean.

That would be strange, Edge, Larry, and Adam, without Bono. I wonder who sang?

how did a kidney cancer thread evolve to this?

Berry's cancerous right kidney was removed via laproscope, leaving a two-inch abdominal incision. Doctors indicated that there will not be a need for follow-up cancer treatments.
Berry will remain hospitalized for three to four days and could return to his full coaching duties in approximately two weeks.

Yanking out a kidney through a 2 inch cut. Dr Goldfarb is slick.

Great news!

yeah, great news.

I'm trying to get my head around this. A friend of mine recently had his appendix removed and he has a six-inch scar that's pretty damn gory.

My appendix scar is no more than three inches.
