Why I wont hate the Yankees for this season:

[SCM33]

I know a lot of you dont really know who I am, but I have been posting here for 5 years, so many of you have learned at least a little bit about me.

 

Its really late at night, and I dont have anyone to really talk to about this, so I will give you the story.

 

My Finance has a sister, who is 33 years old and has 3 young girls 7 years old or less, who lives in NY and has a husband who is a Yankee lover. She was diagnosed with cancer, anal cancer....a very rare form a year ago. A couple of months later she received news that it was terminal, she will die.

 

In a couple of weeks we are scheduled to go to a Sox Yankees game at Fenway, which was donated to us by the front office of the Redsox after my finances mother wrote a letter to them describing our situation and the fact that her husband was a Yankees fan.

 

Well tonight, at 1AM I got a phone call saying that they cannot stop the bleeding from her open leg wound, and if they dont stop it, she will bleed out and die. She was air flighted to a hospital in Albany, and I am expecting another phone call that she has passed. I want her to make the game, shes never been to a Sox Yankees game and neither have I, but the outlook looks bleak.

 

For my future brother in law, I cannot wish anything bad upon the Yankees since it may be the one thing moving forward he has to be happy about.

 

I dont really know what else to do, but you guys have been supportive of other members in bad situations, so I guess all I want is a little support since i have nowhere else to vent at 250 in the morning and Ive downed 12+ miller lites.

 

I just cant get over the fact that a healthy 33 year old with three beautiful little girls will have to say goodbye to the world, really puts things in to perspective on how shallow life can be towards you.

Hey buddy, I'm so sorry that this happened. My sister was 36 when she was diagnosed with supposedly terminal brain cancer. She had a 1 year old, a 3 year old and a 6 year old. It has been 5 years since and although it still isn't cured, she is still alive for now. As you know too well, that type of news is absolutely shattering to a family and to every individual in that family.

 

My heart and thoughts definitely go out to you and your family. It is really amazing how things happen in life and we suddenly get perspective. Having a child, losing a loved one (or watching someone we love lose a loved one). The world is simultaneously a s***** and beautiful place. My thoughts are with you man.

If she is a good person, she will not live long. If she is a total scumbag, she'll live forever. Thats the one thing I have learned in my 6 yrs in the medical field. I have seen a lot of terrible things happen to good, honest people. And there really arent any answers and while most people try to find the "good" in any situation, there isnt any. You just have to live life while you have it and help those who need it. Those are my two cents. Hopefully they stop the bleeding my friend, good luck to you.

In situations like this, all we can do is keep our heads high and understand that life is borrowed time, and we must accept when that borrowed time, for us or the ones we love, ends, it's a difficult task, but it's something we must do, however, never lose hope, my dad, for instance, is a raging diabetic who "wasn't gonna go long past 40", he is now 53 years old, and although he still suffers the blasts from the disease from time to time, he's living proof that a lot of faith and optimism a lot of times go a long way towards helping a person's survival.

 

Science isn't everything.

 

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family through these difficult times.

[Gom]

I'm really sorry SCM33.

 

My heart goes out to you and your family. I wish you and your family the best and strength in times of need.

[Soxfan1]

My best wishes to you man. I can't say I know what it's like, but I know it must feel awful and scary. Be strong.

hopefully she makes it through the night and lives to fight again tomorrow. i'll be praying for her.

[SCM33]

I just got back from the hospital in Albany, she made it through surgery. The tumor is still there, but she is alive for now. They had to take her leg though.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I just got back from the hospital in Albany' date=' she made it through surgery. The tumor is still there, but she is alive for now. They had to take her leg though.[/quote']

 

Great to hear. My best wishes to you, your sister-in-law, and her family. If there's anything you need from us here, name it, man. We're all here for you, and a lot of us know how hard it is to face the loss of a loved one, and how much easier it can be when you have friends behind you.

 

And I know exactly how you feel about the Yankees. We'll all be a little less mad when they win knowing that it might help you and your family smile. I'll be the same way with the O's for a long, long time. Best of luck, SCM.

 

We may not all root for the Yankees, but we'll all be rooting for your family.

[castigs850]

ahh s***, at least she's alive. i hope you all can find the strength to get through this, and that she has the will to keep fighting after this. again, my prayers

[Gom]

 

We may not all root for the Yankees, but we'll all be rooting for your family.

Amen.

[Cocos Disciples]

Wow, best of luck to her, her family and you. What an awful situation to be in.

[BoSox21]

Life isn't fair sometimes and I think we can all think of a few examples to reinforce that. All the best, man

[a700hitter]

It's a very sad story. It's heartbreaking for the entire fa.mily, but it will leave the biggest scar on the kids. It is very tough for a young child to lose a mother. Tragic.

[VA Sox Fan]

So sorry to hear the horrible news SCM33. Hang tough and Go Yanks for your future sister and brother in law.

[Mr Crunchy]

I wish I didnt open this up, best of luck.

Kids and cancer just isnt fair and we've certainly seen our share over here.

Let me take the pin out of the eye of my steinbrenner voodoo doll and I'll stick it in the one I made for Jacko back in 04, theres plenty of room on that piece.

God be with ya's.

[Soxfan1]

Life is pretty goddamn awful. My best friends dad, and the father of the family that took me in when I moved out of my house just got diagnosed with Stage 4 terminal lung cancer and has about a year to live. It's not operable and he was 2 weeks from remission. Awful, just awful.

[RobiForMVP]

Wow sorry to here this...Horrible news...

Hopefully she'll make it to the game

[Teddyballgame10]

Sorry SCM33, hang in there man.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Hang in there.
