It's the journey, not the destination

[SWC75]

I was told Friday that a "large mass" had been found on my liver. I've spent most of five days in the hospital. I'.ve had two ultrasounds, two CT scan, and MRI, (I survived the full 17 minutes. I've been attached to a Heparin machine and had to take it wherever I went. I've had frequent blood extractions, including one ill-starred attempt when I was sleeping. They still want to do an outpatient biopsy. The bed I was in came to feel like I was on a 5 day airplane flight. When they let me go home, my energy level just collapsed, (fortunately a friend was driving). But I'd promised Accurater do an Upside/Downside for tonight's game so I sat through it and did one and should be able to do more in the future, under better circumstances.

I've been diagnosed with HCC, Heptocellular Carcinoma. The tumor is too big to be removed now so they want to shrink it and are looking to immunotherapy and/or radiation. We'll see how it works out.

They say say that life isn't about the destination. It's about the journey. That's certainly true of death. live alone, have no dependents and no bucket list, (I'm a man of small pleasures). I've realized my life will end at some point for many years and the idea of that doesn't bother me. I want to know what I will experience along the way.
A good friend who lost his son to pancreatic cancer told me that his son had a decent 8 months, then it all happened in the 9th month. That doesn't sound too bad. Or maybe I'll survive this and then die of something else later. In the meantime, I'll continue to post on Syracusefan.com and call into the coach's shows.

[malpearl31]

I’ll be praying for you, keep fighting!

 

[CNY in Miami]

Wishing you a speedy recovery and many more miles in your journey.

 

[Lukeyloo]

Always appreciate your contributions on here and on ESPN radio. Wishing you a quick recovery!

 

[phil77]

Thoughts are with you and your family hoping for speedy recovery.

 

[UnknownOrange]

Your perseverance to want to be a fan is so reminiscent to me of my late grandmother. Illness, disease, or deathbed be damned, she needed to root for her Orange.

I’m glad to see you back, Steve. Thank you for everything you bring here and reminding me of her.

Praying for you.

No dependants? What about us?

What is this board without upside/downside, net points, pc recaps, season previews & reviews? Not to mention your position as historian emeritus. I can’t tell you how many times I've ckicked on one of your <random year in SU history> posts only to learn something new, and a relationship to current SU events that I never realized!

And as for bucket lists, well you did get to see JB win a NC, but what about Fran Brown's inevitable one? Not to mention Red (or more likely his replacement) returning SU BB back to glory!

You're irreplaceable, SWC, and eminently appreciated! So fight, yes you'll fight, with all of your might! (you know the rest)

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Keep fighting.

Oh no. In perspective, this soesn’t make a bad Syracuse basketball season look so bad. We’re all rooting for you.
