This is just a great story: Doug Davis, who underwent surgery on April 10 after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer, has been declared cancer-free after a CT scan on Thursday revealed that the disease had not spread. In fact, he's feeling so good right now that he's expected to make a minor league rehab start with Triple-A Tucson on Saturday. After that, he'll probably need just one more start in the minors before coming off the disabled list and returning to the majors.
It should come as no surprise that he's making such a quick recovery; this is the same guy who kept it together mentally after learning of his diagnosis to get through spring training without skipping a beat, and then visited his teammates in the clubhouse to show off his scar just days after the operation. They just don't get much tougher than this.
