on 1/16 I experienced a sharp acute pain in my back, shooting from shoulder blade to shoulder blade, and settling in my arms. I lost most feeling and sensation in my right hand, and sme in my left. I went to the emergency room on 1/18, and a tumor wasfound on my t-1 vertebrae. Surgery on 1/28, and a diagnosis of multiple myeloma. I am told it is treatable, so i reman optimistic. I am not in any pain, so things could certainly be worse.

Wishing you all the Best PFATTKATT keep your head high & get well soon.

I wish you well my friend, prayers for a full recovery.

Good Luck Mr. Katt.   I hope you get the Addie Joss of doctors!

Keep your moxie up, pfattk. I'v enjoyed competing against your teams. We're about to be going through a series of chemo and radiation treatments for my wife, so I know something of what you're going through, if only second hand. Good luck.

Wow sorry to hear that dude. Now I won't be so mad when you finish kicking my *** in that LCS! Hope everything works out for you

Hope you get well soon! Prayers for you and doubletucks wife. Thank you for keeping me under your wing and helping me along with this game. Your 2nd league should be fun too! 

Keep your spirits up pfatt, my wife is an oncology nurse, and she says they have great success treating this now. Our prayers and well wishes go out to you.

prayers for a quick recovery... I know you're up for it.

Sometimes, perspective can be a challenge. Thru our lives, we have various ambitions, of differing importance and relevance to ourselves and our loved ones. And, we all know we are going to die, It is disconcerting to have our mortality thrust so abruptly at us. What can matter, other than God? What can matter, other than that we make other lives a little better while we are here? We leave here emptyhanded, no matter what we think we have accumulated. Thanks, heartfelt thanks, to my friends on this site, who have brought warmth to my heart these past few weeks.

Another friend wishes you the best of luck & a speedy recovery.

Kick it's *** and then get back to kicking ours.  Get well soon.
