    I was recently diagnosed with liver cancer. Never an alcoholic, haven’t touched a drop in 32 years. No Hep B/C. Seems contained in the liver but with cirrhosis. Local oncologist seemed less than interested (and isn’t a liver/GI specialist), unorganized (couldn’t produce biopsy paperwork on first visit) and uninformed (didn’t know about 2 clinical trials in ATL). Ran as fast as I could from his office.

    Heading to MD Anderson in Houston early next month. Planned the visit so I’d be home for Saturday football - even sick you’ve got to have your priorities straight! Assigned liver cancer specialist doctor got her undergraduate degree from…UF! Funny world.

    Hoping for a few more years. Please keep a friendly rival in your prayers.

    Thx Gators.

    May the Lords healing hand cure you. May the peace of the Lord be with you and your family as you go through this battle. I pray the Lord destroys every part of the cancer in your body in Jesus name!

    May your doctors be skilled and may the cancer be weak. Cancer sucks.

    Prayers. May you come through it and may you then be able to cheer a couple decades of cocktail parties with the Gators coming out on too more times than not hopefully.

    You can’t go anywhere, there are too many golf courses we haven’t played yet.

    Prayers offered every day for your healing and strength. Faith is a powerful thing my brother. HE is in control.

    Football and rivalries pale in comparison to things like this. Best wishes for a full recovery and good health.
