Chiefs safety Eric Berry has officially been diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Berry was placed on the non-football injury list on Nov. 24 after doctors discovered a mass on the right side of his chest. 

The belief was that Berry had lymphoma, however, he wasn't officially diagnosed until Monday. The good news for Berry is that his doctors believe the lymphoma is treatable. 

Christopher R. Flowers, MD, the director of the Emory Lymphoma Program at Emory's Winship Cancer Institute in Atlanta, released a statement through the Chiefs. 

"This is a diagnosis that is very treatable and potentially curable with standard chemotherapy approaches," Flowers said. "The goal of Mr. Berry’s treatment is to cure his lymphoma and we are beginning that treatment now."

Berry also released a statement thanking everyone for their support. 

"My family and I are very grateful for the amount of support we have received over the last couple of weeks," Berry said. 

Support for Berry has been coming from everywhere. During the Chiefs game against the Cardinals on Sunday, Justin Houston celebrated a sack by showing his support for Berry.

The support isn't limited to Chiefs' players either. Cardinals coach Bruce Arians also showed his support for Berry during the game.

The Chiefs are also giving fans across the country a chance to support Berry. The team's pro shop will be selling "Be Bold Be Brave Be Berry" t-shirts for $20 with 100 percent of the proceeds directed to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
