According to NHL Insider Kevin DuPont, Boston Red Sox legend and MLB Hall-of-Famer Wade Boggs is in a battle with pancreatic cancer.

Boggs announced the sad new on social media about his diagnosis but what he is going to do to beat the odds.

"I've never been a goal oriented person but with the strength and support of my family and my faith in God I'm going to ring that damn bell," Boggs posted on X.


Bogg's wife Debbie told Sports reporter 5 that although the diagnosis is scary, they caught it early as Wade was diagnosed during a routine physical.

«A Gleason score of 7 is often associated with an intermediate risk of prostate cancer,» Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Dr. Alicia Morgans said, «Though I don't know the other aspects of that staging for him, I would say often we use things like surgery or radiation to treat the whole prostate and try to get rid of every last prostate cancer cell. And we do that with the intention of curing someone.»


Wade Boggs is set to begin his specialized Chemo therapy shortly and with the way he played the game of baseball, he is going to battle and beat this thing. He was a 12 time All-Star and 5-time batting champion and was inducted into the baseball Hall-of-fame in 2006. 10-years later in 2016, the Red Sox awarded him the ultimate honor by retiring his #26 up into the rafters.

We have no doubt he will get through this and everyone here at Bruins Latest want to send our thought and prayers with him though this difficult time. You got this Boggs!
