OT: Scary news I'd like to share

Jack, we've got a great picture of you and Mrs CC from the Wake tailgate.

We'll print it and pray as a family for you throughout this process.

Stay strong!

I can't tell y'all enough how thankful I am for everyone reaching out to me via PM and through this threat. It's very humbling and means more than you know. Thank you very much for the thoughts and prayers!

Let me start off this post by saying the SyracuseFan board is almost like a second family. For the past couple of years; I've met board members at tailgates, kept in touch with people via phone/text/twitter/private messages, and really gotten to know some quality individuals. As I've gotten to know so many people (mostly from the football side of things) - I wanted to post this on the Football page and Football Recruiting page. Since moving to North Carolina, I had developed some problems I thought were just to be allergies. Everyone I came in contact with said humidity and pollen in North Carolina can make your allergies go crazy. I was constantly congested, developed sinus infections every couple of months, and really hard a hard time breathing from my nose when working out. I then started having horrible migraines that would completely knock me out for a good amount of time. After being too stubborn to go to the doctors, I finally forced myself to go and was met with some scary news. Scans have shown I currently have a tumor blocking around 90% of my sinus cavity on my right side. The tumor is far enough up into my sinus/near the brain, to where the doctors believe that is what is causing the migraines. When the word tumor was used, I think my mind went blank for a couple of minutes, but came back around to ask questions and get information. My doctor does not think it's cancerous, as the bone structure is not showing any damage through the scans, but they will have to biopsy the tumor to make sure once it is removed. I am currently in the process of setting up surgery to have it removed - it will most likely be in February at some point. I went back and forth at making a post like this, but thought this would be easier than sending around PMs to everyone that I communicate with on a regular basis. Things will be just fine - I have faith. After mulling it over all weekend (with the help of some scotch on Saturday night), I'm in much better spirits than I was over the weekend. I suppose there are a lot of people out there who have it worse than I do, so I'm going to be grateful for what I have. I'll keep providing recruiting analysis and hopefully interviews to come as well over at .com, but obviously that will stop as I recover from surgery. If you're a believer, say some words to the main upstairs for me. I'll greatly appreciate it. As always - LGO.

Good lord. Get well and take care of yourself!
 
Good luck!
I'm sure you'll be back to full strength in time for Spring practice.
 
God Speed Jack. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Also, I really appreciate you sharing this story. It may have been hard or maybe even awkward - but I love hearing about forum brothers/sisters having kids, playing with dogs, getting married, and at the same time want to know when people are struggling or sick. we can always come together and do anything possible to help.

See Jenna Hinman and wfschrec friend.
 
JackBauer44, hang in there brother. You will be fine.

You're a great poster on this board, so you can bet your Port Byron ass that we will all be pulling for you!

Now go get better. Go beat the piss out of it.

Wow! Scary news indeed! Hang in there and stay positive and once that is out, think of how much better you'll feel with no congestion and hopefully no migraines!

Godspeed JackBauer44. Your "brothers" at SyracuseFan are here for you.
 
Best wishes, JB. No question you'll put this behind you and bounce back ready to go.
 
Will keep you in my thoughts. Stay positive -- the power of positive energy is a great force. Best wishes for a complete recovery.
