A Personal Update…

Control what you can control and don't let the rest get to you too much, hang in there, and just think that once you're rounding back into form we should have a juicy playoff run (failure) to look forward to.
 
Hang in there, boozer. We know what a tough old bastid you are, but if you ever need to talk to friends don't hesitate to let us know.

Just remember that positive thoughts, visualizations, etc. are very important in this. And I won't try to sell you everything here, but please look into a low carb diet to combat cancer. Cancer cells live on glucose.

Anyway, we're your biggest fans here, man. You can beat this. Thinking of and, yes, praying for you.
 
Jeez, I somehow overlooked this thread until just now. Sobering news indeed, and kinda puts football in perspective. Two members of my immediate family received a Stage 4 diagnosis but are still alive and kicking, so think positive. Sounds like you have a solid support system at home ... and right here.
 
I only know you from messages here on this board but I remember waaaaay back in the day seeing that Bukowski avatar, and thinking “What kind of twilight zone cowboys message board have I stumbled across?” I always enjoy reading your posts. Then and now.

Not good with pep talks, but I’m sending good vibes and prayers your way. It’s tough to keep a good attitude when the shit gets tough, but I believe the mind can do some powerful things, if you can get in the right place. Thank you for sharing this with us, I don’t know if I would be strong enough to do that. Keep us updated, sir!

I have not let on but I have been battling what I thought was a several dental issue since mid-July, but it is a lot more than I bargained for.

After a lot of tests, scans, uncertainty, and waiting for answers, I’ve received some difficult news: I’ve been diagnosed with cancer. Specifically of the jaw. It is Stage 4, but has not metastasized yet.

This is not the news anyone wants to hear, and there’s still a lot ahead of me. I’m taking things one step at a time and focusing on what I can control—getting the right treatment, staying positive, and doing everything I can to fight this.

I know there will be difficult days ahead, but I also know I don’t have to face them alone. The support, prayers, encouragement, and kindness from family and friends mean more to me than I can put into words.

I’ll share more as I know more. For now, I’m asking for your prayers, positive thoughts, and continued support as I begin this next chapter.

I’m ready to fight.

God damn, man. Just read this. Holy shit, dude. If there is anything I can do to help, just let me know.

Well, except cheer for Jaunyeh the Retard. I won't do that.
