Bobby Murcer’s brain tumor is “clearBobby Murcer’s brain tumor is “clear,” and the New York Yankees broadcaster is eager to begin experimental cancer treatments, the New York Daily News reported Saturday. Murcer, who had surgery Dec. 28 to remove a malignant brain tumor, has been a Yankees broadcaster since he retired from playing in 1983. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor on Christmas Eve after having headaches. “I’m happy to report that the tests have shown that I’m entirely clear in regard to the tumor,” Murcer told the newspaper. “Obviously, this is encouraging news for me, although I know that we’re still dealing with an incurable cancer here and just trying to contain it,” Murcer said.
