Hey MBB, just wanted to share some news and some thanks. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with lung cancer. I had surgery in May and started chemo in July and it sucked like chemo does ... was quarantined at home, couldn't do much of my regular life fun stuff .. I was bored out of my mind, and I have not been bored in years.
Then the CFL season started and I discovered that lying on the couch and yelling at mapleball and hanging out in the forums with the good folks here was something I could manage (chemo comas permitting). So the CFL and MBB was a big big deal to me this year, it really helped me get thru by giving me twelve hours of low effort fun to look forward to every week. This is a thank you to everyone here for that, especially the mods who built and run this place.
Had my last chemo yesterday, I'm in complete remission, and my prognosis is good. Back to life, back to reality. Thanks again and **** the cancer that stole 2021 from me.
ps. it's impossible to say why I got cancer, I'm a nonsmoker ... but the single biggest cancer risk factor in my background was that I grew up with chainsmoking parents in the age of indoor smoking. That damage increases your cancer risk forever. Don't smoke in the car with the kids, friends.
