Former White Sox Star Bobby Jenks Battles Stage 4 Stomach Cancer

The 43-year-old World Series closer is undergoing treatment in Portugal while reflecting on his life and career.

Bobby Jenks, a key figure in the Chicago White Sox's 2005 World Series win, has been diagnosed with Stage 4 adenocarcinoma, a form of stomach cancer.
Jenks is currently in Portugal, where he moved with his family after losing their California home to wildfires, and is undergoing intensive treatment including radiation therapy.
The cancer has spread extensively, affecting his stomach lining, bones, lower back, and hips, with complications including severe digestive issues and blood clots.
Fans and the baseball community have rallied around Jenks, expressing support and admiration for his resilience and positive outlook in the face of his diagnosis.
Despite his health challenges, Jenks remains determined to focus on wellness and hopes to return to managing the Windy City Thunderbolts and attend the White Sox's 20-year World Series reunion.
