NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[DJ Fieri]

Need all the good vibes possible, we found out my step son almost certainly has pediatric cancer and if the initial results are to be believed it is a very rare case. 2 specialists have seen him and consider his situation one of a handful they don't know what to do with.

It's a complicated relationship, he is 16 and we've gone around and around for 10 years, But it's tearing my wife up and I've yet to tell my son (his brother). I don't know quite how to approach that one yet.

Have they given you what stage it is in?

Sorry to hear, man. Prayers for you and your family.
My dad was recently diagnosed with two types of leukemia so it is never an easy situation…but moreso for your stepson. 16 is so young. He has a lot of life to live.

I am so sorry to hear that. Kids shouldn't be put though something like that. I hope for the best.

So sad to hear this. I will be praying for your step son, you, and the rest of your family.

They were going to try to work on the mass on his liver but was worried that he may bleed out as he also has masses in his pancreas, chest, and esophagus. Tuesday they are operating on the chest, so it hasn't actually totally been confirmed as cancer but all the "differential diagnosis" is cancer. So we are not sure yet obviously with that spread if it is cancer it is 3 at the absolute best but most likely 4.

Fritz to the quarters @thunderc

Tiafoe obviously has a real opportunity to get there too. I don’t think Nakashima or Paul have very good chances but that’s why they play.

Doesn’t help that they are playing 2 of the top 3 favorites left and in Paul case he is playing the #1 player

I think of all the ranked Americans currently, Fritz is the one likely to win a major or at least reach a final. He has the best all around game and is also the most consistent

Pediatric cancer is probably the strongest argument for atheism there is. That and the Holocaust and similar events.

I just hate hearing stuff like that. Feel bad for stakes and his family.

For now

 

[thunderc]

For now

I think since I have espn plus I’ll get everything. They will have to have this worked out this week.

 

[thunderc]

Tiafoe with some brilliant tennis to come back and take that second set.

 

[bksballer89]

What a shot to win the match

 

[bksballer89]

1 more win from both and we are locked in to getting an American man in the finals
