Immunotherapy as a whole is a fascinating advancement. Interleukin pathways, CAR T-Cell therapies.... Hope he bounces back. He'll have a better chance now than he's ever had before with how tech has progressed.

I know a lot of UK fans may not care for him and his love of duke (hell, I hate how much he loves those dweebs), but more than that, the guy loves college basketball. That's something we can all get behind.

Get well soon, Dicky V.

Will be praying for him. Cancer doesn't care if ur white or black or male or female or gay or straight or red or blue, old or young. It's evil impacts people of all walks of life. I know that too well after last year with my wife's diagnosis and shocking passing last October.

We are all gonna "lose" our final battle with a health issue one day. Sadly it's one we can't win when that time comes. All we can do is make the most of our time here with those we care about while we can.

Ok sappy moment over, back to Pope debating and recruiting.

Sorry about your wife. That is a terrible thing. I unfortunately believe that cancer is too much of a money maker for them to ever release a cure. Even if they did it would only be available to the 1% because they could pay the amount it would take for them to say it financially viable.

Makes more sense than "prayers"......
When a person of faith offers to pray for someone they are calling on the highest power to assist that person in their time of need. Regardless of what you believe they are showing the utmost compassion for another human being. They are showing a kindness that is in their heart unmatched.

Now why do some non-believers choose to crap on that? What good is that? Is feeding your ego worth diminishing someone else's hope? What kind of person takes time out of their day to do that?

As a non believer myself, I respect this post 1000 percent.

Do you mean the highest power that gave Dick the cancer? Or his divine plan that allows children, to also suffer cancer. Gee, not sure why non -believers would crap on that, or .......
An invisible sky daddy.
Rising from death.
Virgin birth.

Man living in a big fish. The examples are endless:
When a people of faith choose to celebrate their delusion, they should expect opinion from those that live in reality.

If I'm wrong, no harm no foul. I tried to live a virtuous life rooted in love and goodwill.

But if you're wrong.............

I guess your kind and loving god will burn me in a hell forever. But, what if you're wrong about the thousands of other gods?
