I.e., 90% speculation. <BR/><BR/>Isn't a more likely scenario that Tony M got something much closer to an off-the-record confirmation of cancer and simply didn't include it in his article, essentially playing it safe? <BR/><BR/>I.e., everyone at the time of the article was 90+% sure (teammates, etc) based on examinations on West Coast by primary care docs and probably by an oncologist, but without full bloodwork, and then Mass General specialists simply confirmed and diagnosed the precise type? <BR/><BR/>So:<BR/><BR/>1. No crazy speculation, just reporting what many others (not just BoSox officials, but teammates too) were being told, and in fact, turning a "very likely" into a "maybe" to be on the safe side. <BR/><BR/>2.

To be fair, someone else wrote the headline based on the contents of the report so that person is innocent to me. I would like to see the Red Sox and Mass.

I have been sick about this story all day & yet, I don't think any of the talking heads at 'EEI decided to take their pal Mazz to task for his irresponsible reporting. <BR/><BR/>I work in healthcare & I find it appalling that there are so many leaks about athlete's personal medical information.
