Rizzo diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Best of Luck on Your recovery. My prayers are with you.

I hope you get better If you need any source of reinforcement just look at Jon Lester he made through cancer

You're young and you're a Red Sox. You'll be just fine. Best of luck to you...

Our prayers are with you for your full recovery

As a 26 year cancer survivor who was probably not in as good shape as you, I'm telling you you can beat it !!

You're with a solid organization. Get healthy and get back on the field soon!

I hope you're recovery is as complete as John Lester's. I hope you can find strength in his example. Hang in there, your chance in the the show are on the horizon. As a Red Sox fan, I look forward to your major league debut.

God Bless you during your recovery. Get well soon and come back strong. Red Sox Nation needs you! :)

God has little to do with it. Listen to your trainers, your family and your docs. Get better soon, but get your rest.

Be bold and positive. You will be fine. All the best.

Ant,

Your in my prayers every day. Your gonna be OK buddy boy.

Ant,

Your Mom sent this to me over the weekend and it sure looks like alot of people out there are rotten for you as always. As I said to you over the weekend, if a guy like Jon Lester can bring your name up in an interview at the height of his career you must also be special to him. He has you in his hart and understands what you are going to have to do over the next seven months. So as you can see you need to be an example to others as everyone is looking at you once again.
My little Max is not going to let up on you and I beleave this is going to be your biggest problem.LOL. So Ant do what you do best and WINNNNN.

Love ya,
One Crazy Guy

Anthony played in his first game since being diagnosed with cancer in Ft. Myers on Oct. 9th. and again on Oct. 10th. He went 2 for 4 with a double (just a few feet short of an opposit field home run) and a single that nearly took the pitchers head off. He's bigger and stronger than ever and in complete remission. He has his last chemo-theropy treatment on Oct. 14th and will be back 100+ percent for spring trainning. Keep an eye on him next season folks. You'll be plesently surprised. The determination and the love of the game he has is going to get him playing in the major leagues faster than imagined. He's a man on fire.

Anthony,
These last few months I understand have been very hard for you and if you get well day by day. You mean everything to me in a way which is an amazing way to tell you this as a big fan of yours I have faith in you as a fan.

I met this young man this past weekend and he is such a wonderful guy. My family will pray for you and your family!
