Yes, was thinking about you the other day buddy. Hope things are going well.

Well gang... I'm still alive. Two surgeries in Rochester along with more tests than I can endure hardly, lol. The tumor is in an area where it's not removable but will be treated. I'll be taking cancer treatments in Cedar Rapids beginning in a couple days for about 6 weeks. My biggest fear is that the tumor may slip back and grow again... not what I want with a 14 yr old daughter and a wife I love dearly. Also with the two older kids which were hers... 28 and 30. I'm here at work today for a few hours trying to wrap up some repair order work that's been slipping the last few weeks. But, the thing that will change is my lifestyle... if I can play hockey again... yep, I will. But if not then I'll devote all my time to the family. I just wanted to thank each and every one of you on here/Facebook/etc. that's been kind enough to send messages and give me your thoughts.

 

ps... don't hound me to sell my gear!  If it has to happen eventually it will, lol!

any update buddy?  hopefully its good news!

PM'd Steve back in August and never heard back. Hope he and his family are holding on. He is a great guy, wish him the best through all this.

i've been talking to him on facebook, he has a scan coming up in the next few days, he says hes feeling great in recovery from getting the radio blasts, and now EVERYONE cross your fingers for the guy hopefully its had some great positive effects on this thing.  Its an inoperable mass so its gotta shrink and fuck off.

I'm glad to hear that he's feeling good. one of my sister's friends wasn't feeling well recently so a week and a half ago  she went to the doctor and they found a HUGE mass in her lung. they told her that she had a max of 2 months to live. she died on Tuesday. mind-blowing......

Thinking about you Steve. Hope you are doing well and if anyone has an update that would be great.

[Brian]

Yo Steve. Hope you're doing well!

[shoeshine boy]

take it for exactly what it's worth but I saw one of the guys on PHEW post that Steve is in hospice right now. any of you that have had a loved one go into hospice care knows exactly what that means.

[Brian]

Yeah ... seen some heavy traffic on his facebook this past week.

 

Godspeed, Steve.

Anyone have an update on Steve?

[Brian]

His father in law is selling his stuff on eBay to pay for hospice fees.

 

Latest thing i've heard.

[thinkingjack]

this is correct, got Colbert to get a hold of him, and he's in full time hospice care while he's healing. 

[JBarrera]

So there is still hope for recovery?
