Sorry for "bumping" this thread but I didn't want to derail another football thread since the season's getting so close. However, as many of you know I had completed 7 weeks (5 days a week) of radiation a few weeks ago after having had roughly 8 months of hard-core chemo before that in order to fight a VERY rare and VERY aggressive malignant colorectal cancer that had spread to my liver & lymph nodes. I'm not sure if I ever shared this but we were told that one of my specific cancers (of the 4 I have...ugh) is so rare and deadly that only 70 cases have ever been studied over the last several decades and 70% were gone in less than 1 year from diagnosis....the other 30% never made it to year 2. The Lord has used me for HIS miracle! ....today we got the news we have been praying for.... NO SIGN OF CANCER!!!!! I temper the news with the knowledge that by my being Stage 4, the cancer is in my bloodstream, so I'll never be "cured" according to the Drs but my organs are at least a blank slate again. Praise Jesus Christ, our Lord & Savior!!! Thankfully and prayerfully, I am blessed that He has more purpose for me and I get, hopefully, many many many more years to be here for my family, watch my girls grow up, and I can bless y'all with my genius Auburn Football insight and legendary wit for a while longer. Sincere thanks to all of you who have prayed for me, supported me, sent well wishes my way. Y'all have even brought me to tears on many occassions with sharing your own stories and I've seen the absolute BEST of our AUFamily. I'm so blessed and I love you all!

You serve an awesome God and never doesn't occur to him. He is in the miracle business and He knows no limit. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego walked through a furnace unharmed. Daniel was delivered unharmed from the lion's den. Jesus healed many and brought the dead back to life. Peter walked on water as long as he kept his eyes on Christ. Keep your eyes on Christ and you will receive the blessings He has for you. Your Auburn family will continue to lift you up in prayer and you will have a fantastic testimony to tell others. My God continue to bless you and your family. War Eagle! Did I mention that sometimes y'all bring me to tears? Thank you gr82be, it's always wonderful to have fellow Christians remind you of the way 🙏. Sometimes I'm just of the mind of how unworthy I am and amazed that HE takes time out....for me.

As I've said, AUFamily is not your average school/team site with your standard internet posters. We (the country/world) see so much of the bad that is created when people can anonymously say whatever they want, regardless of where one stands on "the issues". ....just look at the political forum... " HEY-O! I'm here all week!" However, I have been so blessed to have been able to "meet" some of the most amazing people on Earth here....without actually meeting them. So many Class Acts here! This really is Auburn people. JABA is often a great thing, War Eagle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doverstutts 1,643 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 wow!....since i rarely check the football board anymore, i missed this......great news...oh, as far as the rare cancer: i grew up with a guy, played sports with him, and was actually distant kin to him...right after my bout with C/R cancer, he was diagnosed with a rare type cancer,very rare in fact....he went to houston texas, had a stem cell transplant, lived in a bubble and the hope was for him to survive for maybe 5 years to give them time to formulate a better treatment for his type cancer....its been 14 years since my treatment was completed, so he has lived 12 1/2 to 13 years with no sign of the cancer coming back...oh, the neurophathy that they told you will get better?...lol,nope, they lied!

Maverick.AU 13,281 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 @AUsince72 Coming back to this thread again today, and still so happy with the news. So happy for you brother, you’ve faced a much harder battle than I could have ever dreamed of facing, and you still remained the same funny, loving, guy that you’ve always been. So happy for you and your family. I could probably type 10 pages, but words can’t really describe how happy I am for you, and your family, brother!
