abric 157 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 This is very bad news to hear. I am so sorry for Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey 779 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I was very disappointed to read that this morning... but I think his attitude toward all of this is inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuitSnob 19 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 God bless him. Maybe he should look into some alternative medicine, since the mainstream stuff does not seem to be doing the trick. Â (I just removed a fashion attack I did on him under the assumption that he was further down the Road to Recovery. Corssing my fingers for a day when he is 100% better and I can guiltlessly post it again!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Well yeah injecting the body to what amounts to rat poisoning (aka Chemotherapy) usually doesn't make one feel any better in cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure some day people will look back at chemo the way we now look back at leeching people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenclaw 0 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I was suprised after seeing this posted here that when I got the hard copy of the Daily News that it was actually in the front of the paper and not in the TV section. I feel bad for him and hope he is OK. I may be ignorant, but how does a cancer go from the nether reigions to the haed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCAUTVNBC10 408 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I am sure some day people will look back at chemo the way we now look back at leeching people. Â Amen to that brother. And we can add mercury in the vaccines and fluoride in the water to that list too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sctvhound 27 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Sad for Charlestonians, as he used to be a sports anchor over at WCIV here for many years before he moved to New York City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuitSnob 19 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 They did a piece on Steve on the 11 broadcast tonight, including an interview. I just want to give him a hug. Â Though frankly, I have ALWAYS wanted to give him a hug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieboy247 42 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I was watching the special mms feed of the newscast, and I just think that it was kinda sad and touching to hear what Steve had to say. It just makes you think about how cancer can destroy the human body and how so many people have to go through it emotionally. If ya' know what I mean.

Cancer travels in the blood system. Most cancers travel up - I know with lung cancer it always travels to the head. Â And I saw him on the 11 PM news too - my heart was breaking for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestbiteme 13 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Well yeah injecting the body to what amounts to rat poisoning (aka Chemotherapy) usually doesn't make one feel any better in cancer. Â Â Well, chemotherapy isn't supposed to make you feel better. Â It's supposed to stop the mitoses of fast-dividing cells-- free radicals and, unfortunately, those that are responsible for hair growth. Â We have a radiologist on the board who could probably explain it better, but that's the way I've understood. Â And yeah, killing cells probably isn't gonna make you feel too peppy. I don't wanna make this thread about cancer therapy but something about the way you phrased that provoked me a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 276 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I couldn't get to the Daily News website, but apparently the cancer has spread to his lymph nodes and his brain, so now he has Brain Cancer. I'm at a loss of words. This is tragic news and its really devastating to hear that, and to think that just a little less a year ago he was just fine. The chemotherapy seems to have really taken a toll on him... You know, its funny how life can be a real piece of work sometimes. Although it seems that he's taken a turn for the worst, miracles can and do happen, and I hope one happens for Steve. We can all only keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best. For those who have seen the article, has WABC commented about the news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuitSnob 19 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I did not and do not think he looks terrible at all. I thought he was looking quite robust and in great spirits-that is why finding out that he was not doing well was shocking to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManNYR 222 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Steve said on the segment and the article he will undergo further tests this week to tell exactly where the cancer has spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
