Man life is one crazy roller coaster. two months ago i got the call from my cancer doctor proclaiming i was all clear and had beaten cancer (Melanoma).

A few weeks ago my side started hurting and after a visit to the doctor place again along with some blood tests and a few cat scan my doctor calls me up and tells me i am terminally ill with stage four liver cancer and there is not much they can do for me. Hummnnn? Two months ago i was hero for beating it now i am a walking dead man. Go figure life...

Anyway tomorrow they are going to give me 6 hours of heavy duty chemo just to try to buy me a little time to get my affairs in order. The chemo will destroy my immune system along with a whole bunch of other fun side effects.

So just wanted to say thank you to all the folks here who have been more like family to me than just friends. I could never personally say goodbye to all of you so this will have to do for now.

I never got to travel around the country getting to meet you all and sponging some free beer and food so that's a real bummer.

Take care everyone!!

Stu

Speechless, Stu. Wishing peace and comfort to you and your family.

Also, [censored] cancer.

If you make it out to Ohio PM me.I wish you the best as we are all temporary here.

What ?! I'm bummed to hear this and I hope they're wrong.
My other response is full of profanity.

Well this totally sucks. I feel horrible for you and yours Stu.

Is the liver cancer related to the melanoma?

Thoughts and prayers....

Have been with you here for over 20 years. I have lost too many this way. Now I'm lost for words after staring at your post since you put it up,,,,thanks for the years of your humor.

Damn that is not what I ever want to hear from you Stu, Freaking F-n cancer.

All the best with your treatment and we all love you,,,,,,,,yeah I said that!

I hate to hear this and will pray for you and your family. I also want to thank you for being strong and letting all of us know.

Stu - also I am speechless & damn sad to read this. We have both been on Moparts a long time, & numerous others have checked-out, but they will not be forgotten. You are indeed one of the true classics & your presence in our world has been our pleasure. Who else will I go to now for garage door questions?

From now on, for every day you feel good, absorb as much pleasure as you can. Keep on posting as long as you can & we will all follow you. Take care my Mopar brother. You will never be forgotten.

Wow, while we've never met. I too have had the pleasure of reading many of your posts in my time here. I wish you good luck and godspeed if they are unfortunately correct in the new diagnosis.

Not sure what say Stu 😔 You are a man of courage for posting this and letting everyone into your most private moment. Just know you and your family have touched many lives with your humor, heart and generosity and that is what matters most. Please let me know if there is anything me or my family can do for you and yours. I seriously mean that... you are one of a kind my friend!

Yea i feel bad about that too. I sure did enjoy talking to Moparts members all over the world and helping them fix their door issues. It was a to blast hear about where they lived and listen to all those funny accents. Come to think of it, they probbaly thought my accent was funny too!

Irony is being told i can never have an alcohol ever again as its really bad for whats left of my liver, but i get all the morphine i want to take. Personally i wish it was the other way around, well for right now that is.

Stu, I'm really sad to hear the news. I'm really glad my wife and I got a chance to come out and visit you last month.

Damn Stu, that sucks! The wife still talks about the time we went out to your place and had a fun time, you are truly one of the good guys! We will be praying for you, your attitude is and has always been awesome, if anyone can beat this it will be you! At least you can always say you had a fun life, thanks for being you! The wife and I just got down to Daytona Beach for Biketoberfest, trailed the Harley down as it has been 4 years since she had a vacation taking care of her mom at our house until she passed earlier this year. We will dedicate this time to you my friend, and hoist quite a few cold ones in your honor!

Hopefully they are wrong!!!

Either way we all need to live every minute like it’s our last!

BTW I hope you enjoyed the “It’s a Gas” Sunoco 66 poster I had made for you a few years ago!

[censored] A, my mom used to tell me I never was sick because bad things only happen to good people!

Stu, you will always be a one of the good guys! Always!

Kevin

10 years ago. You're the best!

Wow..sorry to hear. This place is full of characters but you have always been a rock. I'm sorry to hear about your situation and wish nothing but the best to you and your family!

Man...I cherish the time that we have had together. Let me know if there is a good time to call or call me. Also, let me know if there is anything we can do.

WOW, sorry to hear that Stu. Please don't give up, as I have seen others pull through. All the best to you and your family
Prayers from my wife and I, Dave

Ah [censored] cancer.

Damnit, damn it all. My thoughts are with you Stu.
