Jerry Remy Reports 'Clean' Scan and Return to Red Sox Booth in Latest Update on Cancer Treatment
By Scott Rogust
Jerry Remy is a beloved figure in Boston Red Sox broadcasts for NESN. So when he suffered a scare last August after his lung cancer returned, which caused him to miss the remainder of Boston's season, Sox fans were devastated.
But on Tuesday, Remy shared some great news on Twitter in regards to his health. Remy revealed that he had a "clean" scan from his latest doctor's visit and that he'll return to the booth for the remainder of the week.
Great day yesterday. Good clean scan and another good day of treatment. Looking forward to the 3 man booth the rest of the week with Dave and Eck.

After his baseball career came to an end, Remy found great success as a baseball broadcaster when he joined NESN back in 2001 as the network's color commentator. He was inducted into the Massachusetts Broadcaster Hall of Fame in 2017.
Despite missing out on the Red Sox's World Series run, Remy was present at the team's victory parade, where he exclaimed that he's "kicking cancer's ass." Shortly afterward, Remy announced that he was cancer-free and made his return to the booth during Spring Training.
❤️ @Jerry_Remy so much.

With Remy now having clearance to call games for the remainder of this week, and possibly beyond that, Sox fans have to be ecstatic with this news.
