I just lost a beautiful cousin to cancer. So give this lymphoma's ass an extra hard kick for me, John.
It is a bad thing to say. I hate it the most, actually.InsideTheParker said:All last year we were obsessed with my husband's prostate cancer. It had a happy ending, using the best surgical techniques available. Farrell will get the best treatment available, and will be back to looking like Superman sooner than later. Early discovery is an amazing gift/accident. Ruth Bader Ginsburg seems to have survived pancreatic cancer, which is usually deadly and took my sister this winter, because it was discovered by a checkup CT scan, which she has to have as follow-up on her treatment for colon cancer before that.
We say that someone is a "cancer" in the clubhouse. Think of that, that's the worst thing you could compare someone to, even worse than Hitler maybe.

Stay Strong, John.
Well goddamn. We're with you. F cancer.AMS25 said:I was diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer last year. Yes, cancer sucks. And, chemo sucks but it works. Hope Farrell's side effects are mild and that he can rest up for next year.

I wanted to share a quick story on how much of a stand up guy John is. I am good friends w/ a long time part-time employee of the Red Sox. Even though he has been there for 3 championships, the rule w/ the part-timers was they would not get rings. They got some other cool stuff, but no rings. Anyway, this guy works at the park every game day, has interactions with John, some players, and the media. John caught wind that he didn't have a ring. Well, my buddy goes into work one day and was told John wants to see him in his office. Thinking he screwed something up, he went in a bit scared. Turns out John pulled some strings to get him a ring. The one shared by very few members who were part of all 3 championships.
This is the kind of guy who deserves to beat this.
Good luck w/ your success as well.tmorgan said:Good luck John, I was diagnosed with NHL last September and R-CHOP is easy. The anti-nausea drugs are way stronger than that amount of chemo and there's only a few days per cycle where the fatigue is hard. So lucky they caught it early because they grow so fast it could be stage 3 or 4 and attached to worrying organs by the time the weight loss becomes notable. Still even stage 4 NHLs like mine have over a 90% cure rate and hopefully I'm cured and done with treatment now less than a year later.
I agree wholeheartedly.Sox and Rocks said:I didn't think it was possible to love Tito anymore than I did yesterday, but now I do.
