Was going to keep this to myself,

[Duh]

I'm devastated reading this
I hope the treatment goes well. I'll be thinking on you.

same feeling over here . its not f fair after the un interested effort you made . I might help you if you can provide extra details via PM ( about the disease).

All my best and be strong as Loonym and Lance Armstrong and you will be better than everyone.

There is little that I can do......but if there is anything that I can do, let me know.

[Tom128]

Hang in there and let the people who love you help you! That's what they are there for and you know you would be there for them. Stay strong and keep up the fight, the struggle with yourself and your resolve is just as big of a part of the fight as the cancer itself. Note, I am not speaking this from my own experience however I have know so many people (mother, aunt, grandmother and several friends of family) that have had cancer and that is the universal message I hear back from them. Stay strong!

This is why we do this.

[Bail_w]

Never give up because there is always a chance for something happen. Hang in there and fight strong.

I'm sorry to hear about the cancer Scott.
Your health and life are in God's hands. He created you and he can heal you physically and spiritually. I'm praying for you buddy.

[PoppaGeek]

You do not have cancer, your body does. I will be praying for you Scott. You have touched me with some of the things you have posted in the past and I am taking your news personally. It hurts to know you will have so much to face. As you know you are not alone in this. It can be hard to relate ones feelings with something like this but from the posts here it is obvious you have friends here.

There are alot of options for fighting cancer these days. Try and find some inner peace and calm to help you through this. If you ever need to dump some emotions feel free, I am a good listener. I will PM you my email and IM. I am up almost all night.

God is with you.

Here is to your recovery!

[sierra_bound]

Hang in there, Scott. I know you can beat this.

[illidan]

be strong! endure!

we will do anything we can to help

[Tecman]

Scott,

Thank you for having the courage to let your Family here know about your personal life... You are in Our thoughts and prayers. We all crunch here for a personal reason..None as personal as yours and some few family members on the team.. That being said, I know You have the Will power to overcome this little obstacle in the road of life. Power ahead on the road and keep on trucking Scott! You can beat this little obstacle!

Good luck my Friend

[Gamekiller]

This is very devastating news. I truly wish you the best and I know you can get through this. Human will power is very strong and can make anything happen! You, as someone who has put so much effort into helping others, should not have to deal with this!

Good luck and keep your attitude positive at all times, Scott.

Hi, you all. Thank you, deeply, for your sentiments, words and prayers. I feel pretty close to this team; with some more than others, due to how long "we've known each other" and with others because ya just can't rid of 'em ( you know, like, uhh... the guy with the PHONE! ). But still I feel lucky to have found such a dedicated and extraordinary crew to run with.

What I have is not good ( as if there is such a thing as good cancer ); it is bladder cancer. There are, basically, two types of this. The first is called transitional or superficial and mainly affects the interior of the bladder. The second type is called muscle-invasive and is very dangerous. The treatment calls for removal of the bladder, prostate, seminal vesicles and urethra, and chemo. I am pretty sure the chemo is happening first. If the cancer breaks through the muscle walls of the bladder then it can get real ugly. Invasive cancer is very aggressive and calls for aggressive treatment.

I am not sure what stage mine is in but I think it's 2 or 3. I know it is "high-grade" which means it is moving, or acting, quick.

Anywhoo, I'm tired of talking about it. It kind of overwhelms me. Today has been not such a good day. Went to work, but was in pain all day ( not knock you over pain, but steady and irritating type pain. ) I left after about 6 hours .

Gonna lick back a little now.

[loonym]

I have this. I wish I could sit here and tell you it's been a piece of cake but it's been far from. The treatments are grueling and the diversion is a drag. My advice to you is to seek out the best urologists and surgeons, even if it means traveling. Don't hesitate if there's anything at all I can do. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

All my best, Jon

[[XC] riptide]

Dayum. Keep well Scott. Sh1t always happens to the good guys... and you are one of them without doubt.

[Lu523]

I am truly sorry to hear this. I will keep you in my thoughts. Not much that I can say or do to help, but if there is I will do what I can. Best of luck, I am sure that you can beat it.

[SiGfever]

DAMN SCOTT!

I am so sorry to hear this my friend, words can not express my feelings. You are a great guy and a very respected member of this forum and team and if there is anything that I can do to help please don't hesitate to ask. You will be in my prayers.

John

[HuffPCair]

As I am at a total loss of what to say, I chose to copy what John wrote, because it comes closest to what I'd like to say but can't for lack of words.
You can beat this Scott, and we are here to help.

[emuexport]

Sorry to hear this Scott. My thoughts are with you and if there is ever anything that I can help with just ask. Be strong.

[ShootStraight]

Damn...

I'm at loss for words.

All I do know is that you've been a source of inspiration and determination to me that extends beyond my ability to communicate it sincerely, certainly more than you know or have been told.

Best wishes to you, Scott, my friend. If anyone can beat this, you can.

I dont know what I can do, but if i can do something, please LMK!

Carl

[NaeKuh]

Thanks Poppa for posting this.
Scott isn't one to boast, just sits back and does the work.
And as much as he might harass me about using the phone, he's just as quilty..

[Machinus]
