Just letting old timers and all others know our buddy having some "minor issues" and needs your thoughts. Here are his words from another thread, just wanted it front and center so all knew. He publically wrote it here so not violating any HIPPA crap. In his words:

Getting a second opinion on my bile duct that goes into the pancreas " although they see something " suspicious" and there not sure if its cancer after they already scoped me with a camera they are suggesting a " whipple procedure. " That is a 5 hour operation that takes out a tip of your pancreas some small intestines and a 5 day stay in the hospital. I googled whipple surgery and I shouldn't of. Anyway going to call MD Anderson in Houston to get a second opinion..Damn getting old sucks good luck today

.....wife is on the phone with MD Anderson for 2nd opinion. Doctor says don't google Whipple surgery" But of course I do .. damn doctor was right . I was in the hospital for 5 days they put a stent in my bile duct thinking it could be a stone left over from my gall bladder removed 10 years before. When the surgeon met with my wife,2 kids ,2 other kids via computer video and myself he explained all the options. They don't see cancer but the lining of the bile is suspicious they did an ercp already sending a scope down to take pictures ..they really are not sure but maybe do another ercp to see if bile duct that looks suspicious is from my gall bladder stones left over from years ago They did find some stones . The new ecpr could come out with the same results so then they will do the " whipple" Anyway not looking forward to surgery since its a 5 hour operation . will keep you posted thanks for the comments here

thank you all for the kind words.. MD Anderson can not give a second opinion unless my bile duct is positive for cancer. The readings of my bile duct is listed as suspicious . That could be from gall bladder scar tissue left over from when it was removed or new with some cancer cells. So the Box clan voted for me to do another ecpr and see if my bile duct has returned to normal . If not and its looks the same then do the Whipple.. That sounds ok to me. The procedure for the ecpr is they put another camera down my throat and take pictures,scrapping,and sound waves and send them to the lab If they see that the bile duct that is not blocked now with a stent put in there they won't do the whipple. If they see its still suspicious although they cannot see the cancer then they would recommend the whipple procedure. I'll go along with that I think. Will keep you all posted. and thank you for all the kind and supportive words... now have to do some serious handicapping lol

Posting here too. Box, really hope things go your way bud, you have always been on my bucket list of Madjackers to meet in person. Will never forget as I have said many times on here before wagering a very large amount at the time for me on an Iona game that you had seven boxes and was a "Love game, line was way off". We were in Vegas at the time and I told my wife to go bet it, handed her 7 hundy, she looked at me like I was crazy. She said "what are you doing??????" and I said, "Angela, it is a Love game, trust me and trust Box and One", and she was like, "trust a guy you know on the internet and don't even know his real name??" I said "his name is Tony and he is a Principal in schools and a Coach". Happy I knew your real name or she would not have probably made the wager, :love::love:. I wanted her invested to watch the game with me at Paris sportsbook after our dinner at Mon Ami Gabi. It won by 15 points, Angela freaked out, and to this day, she asks how Box is doing, does he have any "Love games?". Just shared this news and she is rooting for you like she knows you as am I. I told her there will be another Love game someday with 7 boxes, just havent seen one in a few years from you, and you know I always remind you. Get well friend.

Prayers for a speedy recovery, I've always enjoyed your stories of coaching basketball and life, not to mention your handicapping of basketball.
