Steve,
You are one of a kind.
You can see how much you are loved and respected.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

[PoppyHart]

Thank you SWC for all your contributions to our lives.

 

[MadNY3]

I'm appreciative of those who like me and my contributions to the board. But I have reached the point where I am not 'fighting'. I'm a single man with no dependents no bucket list and I am not a man of faith. What I would really like to do is to fall asleep and not wake up. It would be a release from my troubles.

If that’s the case, thank you.

Thank you for the relentless dedication to Syracuse sports history.

Thank you for the best Coach’s show PBP.

Thank you for some out-there, long posts that while I didn’t read, made me feel ok that I am not alone in being an overly zealous Cuse Fan.

Thank you, SWC75, and may you escape pain as you so seek.

 

[gilardino]

Goodness, I wish you all the best SWC. I know you can beat this.

Sending prayers and positive vibes. Stay strong.

 

[TexanMark]

Steve, my prayers for continued strength and recovery. You are a treasure to Cuse fans far and wide.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

I’ve read every post of yours for at least a decade, more if so am honest about how much time I actually spend on this board. Tough time of year to be struggling with these things. I’d hate to be missing you during football season this year. Will be thinking of you.

 

[MikeSU02]

I'm getting weaker. (If anyone knows a good local agency to send in a helper, I'd appreciate it.) I have this large tumor in my liver. They think both lungs may be cancerous and no they are checking for bone cancer.


And the games and the coaches show are all the same.

SWC75 all thoughts to you and incredibly thankful that I got to know you, even if it was only through this board.

I’ve been lurking or posting on this board for over 20 years and I don’t remember it without you.

Godspeed.

Steve, my thoughts and prayers remain with you. Keep fighting.

Ask your oncologist about histotripsy. It was FDA approved in 2023 so is fairly new. I don’t believe anyone in Syracuse does it yet and the closest is the University of Rochester. It’s for liver tumors only. Yours may be too large but those requirements always change. Here’s a link to UofR. Ignore the transplant word in the title. Research it elsewhere also.

Liver Transplant Program - University of Rochester Medical Center

www.urmc.rochester.edu

Creative thinking here for sure, R. Unfortunately, unlikely to be an option as Steve mentions multiple metastases and what sounds like a large primary ('large' usually indicates >5cm diameter). My guess is the docs would rule out histotripsy... although only an ultrasound would really inform whether the primary is accessible. Procedure also isn't indicated for palliative care. Again, great idea here - but likely to be off the table.

NB: for those curious: histotripsy is a non-invasive cavitation of cancerous tissue. Wrecks the tumor, leaving healthy tissue generally intact, then the immune system mops up the mess.

Pragmatic take, and reasonable. In my experience the patients that can reconcile with what is likely inevitable fare best mentally / emotionally as they approach their denouement. Be at peace, and rest when you're ready.

SWC, I'm sorry to hear that you are facing this challenge. My thoughts and prayers are with you

Yea if it’s spread to his lungs and bones they wouldn’t consider it. He didn’t sound positive that it had so I thought I’d toss it out.

 

[Ragman2000]

You're an amazing man SWC. Hang in there, this whole community is pulling for you.

 

[Millhouse]

I'm sorry you're in pain and I wish you all the best

 

[richmondcuse03]

Hope you’re out of pain one way or another. You’ve added a lot of joy to many lives. If anyone deserves to get some Q&A time with Ernie Davis on the other side, it’s you.

 

[BomberOrange]

This thread saddens me. All the best Steve. You are a legend.

 

[Col. Bleep]

Remember that you're not alone.
You have everyone on this board with you.
We all appreciate you.
You do your best.
Strength and peace of mind.

What is probably the way most of us want to go. Best wishes.

 

[obliterata]

I'm so sorry SWC, I hope you can find help for the situation you're dealing with. And I hope you get your wish.

I'd like to thank you for all your posts including those concerning old tv shows on the Entertainment forum, I enjoyed them immensely.
