WOW Steve I hate to read this. I'm 51 also, you'll be in my prayers.

Don't give up,my vet was diagnosed with about the same conditions 4years ago,he was 78 then,he is now 82.

Has anyone heard from Steve and do we know if he started chemo?

Steve,hope your hanging in there....normally hard for me to read &post about cancer postings,lost my dad to it, and at 53 I was diagnosed....surgery and month in ICU..however been almost 3 years in sept am clear....here is hoping you get some good info and can continue to fight the good fight.anything you need just say the word and if possible the good people on this site will do there utmost to assist...all i can add is to boost your immune system and load up on antioxidants.....

I was 49 and given a very similar verdict.
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and only chance to survive was a stem cell transplant from a related or closely matched donor (neither was available). I ended up being an experiment having a transplant using my own cells.
I hear you on getting things in order, I even asked a couple members here to help my wife sell our car if I was no longer around. I sold off several of my "possessions". Some I wish I neved did.
I received cutting edge treatment at ucsf and am here today because of it.
I'm not suggesting making any changes in your treatment, but I can say from experience, buy into Doctors you feel comfortable with and let them do their work and do exactly what they tell you to do.
Most importantly fight for your life. I did not accept that I had no hope. I fought all the way and now am closing in five years out from my sct.
Every day is a great day. Remember that.
Hang in there Steve!

Hang in there Steve.
Please be positive
I really don't know what to say other than that.

Kathy and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Phil, from China

Keep your head up

Wondering how Steve is doing. Can anyone get in touch? Hope all is well.

Fight like hell. My sis-in-law just came through breast cancer. Attitude to carry the day! So sorry to hear, but you are too young to go out like this. Fight.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I'm just seeing this post for the first time this morning. Steve, I'm sorry to reed about this but pray that you are keeping your attitude positive and fighting hard. Please listen to Steve J., I seriously think he can offer good advice. Going to be saying prayers for you and your family. Hang in there.

Joe

Is there anyone near Flint that can check on him? When is the last time he posted?

Been hoping for the news that the cancers 404'd.

It has been five weeks since Steve last posted on this site. I hope all is well.

Prayers sent!

I live nearby in Grand Blanc. Just recently saw this post and sent Steve a PM letting him know I'm available if he needs anything. I don't know him, so I don't really know his wishes as far as disclosing information, but I assume he would let the Moparts brethren know if there is additional info. If I hear anything and he doesn't have a problem with my broadcasting it, I will pass it along.
