Need some of those ebassist good vibes.............

[Jugghaid]

......for my uncle. He went into the hospital on tuesday when he collapsed. They found out his liver was bleeding. Had some kind of a mass on it. they finally got the bleeding stopped but turns out he has primary liver cancer. He's going under the knife on monday. Even if all goes well they told him it's likely it will be back, and with a vengeance withing the next 6 months. they also told him it's about 90% certain that it has metasticezed throughout his body. :(

Doesn't look good at all. My mom and dad are pretty broken up about it. He's my mom's brother and my dad's best friend (that's how he met my mom). He's always been my "favorite" uncle. Awesome guy with a kick ass sense of humor. Lots of fun to be around. Always causing trouble.

Looks like I may be making a Boston trip by the end of the year.

My prayers are with your uncle and family

Thanks everyone. From what I understand, at least he's enjoying the Sox-Yankees series so far. ;)

I know you do. ;)


Actually, the surgery went really well. He's been taking good care of himself so he came through that part with flying colors.

Now for the rough part. They tentatively gave him ~ 1 year, but we'll see.

[bnyswonger]

Vibes sent, bro.

[Inazone]

Sorry to hear. Prayers sent to you and your family.

[Jugghaid]

Well, the verdict is in. Wanted to churn this over in my head for a week or so before posting anything about it. He got through the surgery just fine and is feeling a lot better (minus 1/2 a liver though).

He has some rare type of liver cancer. Same thing Walter Payton had by the sound of it. Fucking sucks. They gave him 12-18 months. Hopefully they are wrong and it's much longer. No chemo or radiation as they don't help. They're going to put him through some clinical trials and experimental treatments at a really good cancer research place out in Mass, so we'll see.

[bnyswonger]

When my my former father-in-law was diagnosed with liver cancer, they gave him a year.

He took 5... and was in pretty good shape right up until the last month or so. If your uncle has a good attitude, he might just surprise everyone.

[Bogster]

Man, I am sorry to hear this, Mike. I hope he beats the odds and has a complete recovery. I've lost 4 relatives in about 3 years-mostly to cancer, so I can relate. Hang in there, bud.

Well, he's been a health nut fror a long time. He's 71 but still hits the gym 3 times a week and runs 3 times a week, so I'm sure that will serve him well. His attitude is great so that will help too. Now he just needs some luck. Whenever they give you a "time frame" it's just a guess anyway. I had a cousin that they swore would never make it to 18 and made it into her early 30's, so who knows?

Thanks man. I'm cool with it. I'm more worried about my parents as they have not lost any siblings yet, so this is pretty tough on them. I'll get out to see him this fall either way.

[cdb]

Juggs, all you can do is be there for your family, and stay positive. And it sounds like you are doing just that. Sorry to hear about this.

[basshunter]

My prayers, good vibes and thoughts are with him Mike. As I said before, if there's anything that I can do to help you from this side of the country, don't hesitate to ask.

And of course, you're welcome at Casa De Basshunter anytime.

[philthygeezer]

High hopes from Canadia.

[Jugghaid]

DAmn. Hard to believe it's been almost a year since I posted this.

Got news yesterday. He's off all the experimental medicines. They have exhausted all options.

3 weeks to 3 months is what they are realistically predicting.

Really glad I got to see him over Christmas. Looks like it's gonna be his last one. :(

[Jugghaid]

Sorry to hear the news, man. :(

Me too. But he got more time than they thought and he still feels pretty good. My folks are flying back on the 14th to see him for 4 days. That's gonna be rough on them.

[mlwarriner]

don't take this the wrong way, but...

thoughts and prayers for a smooth and easy end.

i would rather see someone go quickly and not suffer, than to watch them deteriorate over a period of weeks/months/years to eventually become a mere shell of themselves, without the person inside that you knew and loved.

and thoughts/prayers/mojo for the rest of the family for the strength to get through it.

[basshunter]

Mike, I'm so sorry to hear this. :(

I know I've said it before, but it still stands. If there is anything I can do from out here to help, please let me know.

My prayers and good vibes to your uncle, and to you and your family.

[Les Izzmor]

Sorry to hear that Juggs. :(

[ironfist]

I hope he gives that cancer a good kick in the balls! Good vibes to him!

I don't think there's any way to take that wrong, bro. I agree. I hope when he goes downhill, that it's as quick and merciful as possible.

[Jugghaid]

thanks everyone.

I just hope he's in good shape in a couple weeks. They're getting all 4 siblings and their spouses together. I'd like to see him have a bit more fun beofre he moves on.

[BassMaster General]

We're sending all the vibes we can spare to him, you and everyone else involved:)

[bnyswonger]

It sounds like he is well loved and has led a great life, so he is probably going to take all that positive stuff right on through. I pray his passing is in comfort and with dignity.

[mlwarriner]

it was more of a "don't take this like i'm trying to hurry things along" post. that's all.

[Jugghaid]

it was more of a "don't take this like i'm trying to hurry things along" post. that's all.

Gotcha. At least he ahs a good sense of humor about it.

when his doc gave him the news his first comment was "Shit! I guess I better get my taxes done then, huh?"

:D

[ezstep]

My condolences.

My mom discovered that she had colon cancer, but it metasticized (sp?) into her liver. She went to M.D. Anderson's in Houston, was fitted with a port that went directily into the liver and was treated that way. She was given eight months to live...nearly six years ago. So far she is doing great, but I have other friends whose parents have died of liver cancer since then.

Sounds as if he had a great life, with lots of people who care about him. And, it is not over yet.

[Jugghaid]

This story is coming to an end quickly. Probably by Thursday. It really sucks as I won't be able to get away from work for the funeral. I just hired 4 new people and I need to be here. :(

No can do. I have 20 commissioned people that depend on the income they make. So do their families. I got to see him over christmas so I'm okay with it. My folks will be there..........

That's part of running your own business. You get to be responsible for the wellbeing of a lot more people than yourself.

I wouldn't trade it for anything, but sometimes it's really fucking inconvenient.

you don't have a 2IC that could cover for you for half a day? that'd suck man.

Mike, I am so very sorry to hear this. My prayers are with you and your family.







As always, if there is anything me or my proximity can do to help, please do not hesitate to ask.

[bassmanatlarge]

You know my heart goes out to you...even if I am crusty and old

Sorry to hear this Mike, it can't be easy knowing you are unable to be with the family, but you gotta live for the living, right?

i do, but it would probably be for several days. Not just 1/2 a day. I'd have to fly to Boston.

[Jugghaid]

thanks all.

Much appreciated. At least he's not in pain. The miracles of modern medicine. I can't really ask for more than that.

Jugghaid - I'm so sorry to hear your news....somehow I missed the start of this thread where your uncle was diagnosed, and now I come to find he has passed on.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family, at least he passed away on his own and in surroundings of his choosing.:)

I also hope that you get to pay your respects to him somehow if that's what you want....income for your staff can be created tomorrow, but you only get the 1 chance to pay your respects to your favourite uncle! Regret something you did....and not something you didn't do.....:2c:


...and for what it's worth, the pm box is open should you wanna use it.....

[Jugghaid]

Thanks guys. I already paid my respects. I had a nice Balvenie Portwood and a Cuban Partagas for him. That would have made him smile. He always loved a good single malt and a cigar, just like I do.

he also owned several businesses and he would yell his head off at me if I shut down for even a day for his funeral. :)
