Rockies pitcher Bettis to begin regimen of chemotherapy for testicular cancer

Bettis had recently been cleared of testicular cancer

A few weeks back, Colorado Rockies right-hander Chad Bettis announced he was cancer-free following November surgery to deal with testicular cancer.

Unfortunately, Bettis tweeted some more sobering news Friday -- he’ll soon begin a regimen of chemotherapy to continue to deal with the disease after a routine check-up led to the discovery of some inflamed lymph nodes elsewhere in his body:
