Lots of great people still in this screwed up world we live in. And I’m proud a lot of them bleed blue.
Cancer advanced to stage 4. Planning bucket list trip to Rupp for NYE game (vs Brown).
- Thread starter Ripamaru
- Start date
Prayers from my family to you and yours.
MD Anderson center update.
I have an appointment scheduled for April 4th. They are booked way out but I'm on the list in case something opens up sooner. The oncologist they assigned me has crazy impressive credentials (Harvard med, Johns Hopkins). Lots of published research.
Waiting for them to get results for my genetic testing. If it has one of a few different mutations it would bump me way up the list and improve my odds. But they are generally more optimistic in tone than the local guy has been.
Getting down there and lodging when it happens is gonna be difficult. With a few months head start we should be able to manage most of it but if it ends up being sooner it would be a big challenge.

There’s not much I can say that hasn’t been said already. I’m so sorry to hear about this and my prayers are with you. The only thing I can add is trust in God with all your heart and have a positive attitude toward this. The right mindset can help the results. Stay positive in all of it and know there’s an entire BBN praying and rooting for you.
Enjoy your Rupp experience! Get there early enough to take it all in. I still remember my first visit, such an amazing place.

I’ve honestly been very excited for the four of you to see the Cats in Rupp. Stay late for the Pope post-game presser. It’s a true treat! Have a blast and report back!
We have an amazing fan base that I'm proud to be a part of.
Sent you a pair of Section 40 (lower level) tickets last night. Hopefully you received them.
Sent you an email with my phone number. Give me a shout when you can. I’ve got you setup.
