admo Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 This is so sad and sudden. I am glad he decided to bring it up after trying to keep it quiet. I will pray for him and wish him the best. PanCan is so aggressive. 6 months tops, but typically 3-6 months to live after diagnosis. At least from what I have always known. And that time goes quickly and it's no picnic at the same time.

Problem is it isn't caught before that point in the majority of cases. That is how it was explained to me by someone whose husband passed due to PanCan. And it's a horrible way to go. 2 Quote Link to comment

And that time goes quickly and it's no picnic at the same time. One of my best friends and my biggest mentor in coaching passed in Oct. 22 from PanCan. He was a rarity and lived for a little over 2 years after diagnosis. They said it is treatable if it is caught early, the problem is that typically once you start having issues that cause Drs to look for it, it is typically too late. It is a terrible way to go, and is extremely hard to watch. He and his family can definitely use all the prayers and support Husker fans can give. 1 Quote Link to comment
runningblind Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 They don't catch it because there are no symptoms, my father had it and they only caught it by doing a scan for something else. He ended up living 2 years after diagnosis, but it was a mistake they caught it in the first place. He ended up with 3/4 types of cancer however from his time in Vietnam and taking a few agent orange baths. Thankfully my Mom is still being paid 100% disability for all that fun. Best wishes to the Sharpe family, terrible. 4 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Yeah that's the point I was making, is that it really isn't caught until it's too late, and often times accidentally. I have lost loved ones from it too. Quote Link to comment

PattyG Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Didn't expect to be crying on a Husker game day, but by God, Greg is a good one. Hope he can beat this and spend many more years in the booth. He's been a part of Husker football for nearly half my life, praying for another 16 more! 1 Quote Link to comment
