flyercanuck Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 @DaGreatGazoo I'm going to pass on being the first to say "Yay". And I'm only saying that cause it's treatable. Nothin funny about that shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 @BroadStBull: Best wishes to #Flyers chairman Ed Snider, who is battling a treatable cancer. My story will be posted shortly.The replies to this could be "interesting".Paging @ruxpin..... HAHAHAHA! @ the "paging ruxpin" thing, not the cancer. Too be honest, my first thought was "wow, God does hear prayers." I'm not sure that was my own thought or what I expected to see when I opened the thread. But really, I'm not going to say anything about someone with cancer. I lost my mother to cancer less than 2 years ago, and --not saying this to create a thread of whatever, I may be on the road to my own issue there (film at 11:00). So, I hope Snider well and a full recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJgoal Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Rux, sorry to hear about your mom. I lost my dad around the same time to cancer. It's not fun, no matter whether it's treatable or not. Hell, we thought my dad had kicked it until it showed up in his brain two days before he passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 @AJgoal Thanks, AJ. Sorry to hear about your dad. That's horrible. Not to get maudlin on a message board, but it's a pain that just doesn't seem to ever go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blocker Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I may be on the road to my own issue there (film at 11:00). I've been through that. Don't be diffident. Push your doctors. They don't mind your prodding. As a matter of fact, they might use your urgings to further their investigations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact, they might use your urgings to further their investigations. Thanks, @blocker. Definitely agree. I was the "voice" with my mother. Sadly, I'm a lousy advocate when it comes to myself. I will try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brelic Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I will try. There is no 'try' when it comes to your life. You only get one. I remember going for a battery of tests a few years ago because something didn't feel right. The doctor was telling me one thing, and I didn't believe her. I wanted more tests done to confirm. She obliged. After like half a dozen ways to look at it, she was right. Don't be afraid to push the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGreatGazoo Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 @ruxpin You take care of yourself!!!!. Do it for your family!!

jammer2 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 My first thought was a flashback to the whole Roger Nielson thing. I had this mental image of Snider and Clarke sitting in some swanky executive suite and wondering out loud "well, it's not our fault he got cancer". I know only Bobby said that in public, but I always imagined Ed being in there like a dirty shirt also....in which case, it's poetic justice. I know, a lot of conjecture by me...but that was the first thing that popped in my head anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hf101 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 UPDATE: Philadelphia Flyers chairman Ed Snider claimed a personal victory, announcing on Saturday he was free of cancer following radiation and chemotherapy treatment, as per CSN Philadelphia. “You never want that Big C,” the 81-year-old Snider told CSN Philadelphia. “Luckily, it’s all gone. I’m totally healthy. It’s gone.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraycraven Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Cancer sucks man... Lost my father to a horrible fight with it... Hope nothing for the best to Mr Snider and moreso to you Rux if that is the case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 @murraycraven I can't believe they still haven't found a cure. We buried a 26 year old niece with a 1 year old less than a month ago. Getting it when you're 81 is one thing....dying from it at her age is just wrong.

OccamsRazor Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I can't believe they still haven't found a cure Sadly there is no money in the cure......it's just like a drug dealer they make their money on the comeback....they don't want to heal people....they want to keep selling you the drugs that keep you alive and keep needing them. When is the last time they cured anything???? Polio? Hell they can't even cure herpes they prefer people to just keep taking the medicine to just make it "disappear for awhile". Money have skewed this whole planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxpin Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 UPDATE: @jammer2 just reminded me via PM that I had left this hanging out there. I'd forgotten where I'd written it and this thread disappeared until recently. I had three large masses in my lymph node under my left arm. They'd biopsied and came back "inconclusive" and that was where I was when I wrote my posts. They did surgically remove all three and came to the conclusion that they were non-cancerous tumors but were growing (I'm not sure how the "growing" and "non-cancerous" works but I'll take it). So, I guess I'm okay there. Thank you all for the concern expressed here. It's nice to see that even a smarmy bastard like myself can still receive well-wishes from good folks like yourselves. Peace!
