That's awful news. One of my faves to watch.
One of my favorites as well, with one of the best nicknames of all time. Sad news.
terrible news. cancer is just awful
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Lee has battled the progressive condition of scoliosis since childhood, which causes deformities in the spine, which cut short her professional career around 2010 and may have masked the cancer.
My Mom also had scoliosis and died of ovarian cancer. Makes me wonder if there is any connection between the two diseases.
Very sad.
I'm a cancer survivor. I was given a fighting chance and won. To be diagnosed as terminal is brutal.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
