Big Turk Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 cancer really sucks...no matter how good you seem to be doing, or how many times it goes into remission it always seems to come back and eventually get you... RIP
Steely Dan Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Geezus, I've been holding back a ton of emotion since reading this a few mins ago....I remember when Spielman shaved his head in support of his wife, and how determined he was to go through this with her to the greatest degree possible. There aren't a lot of things in my life that I truly have hatred for, but cancer is one of them. It took my mom too early, and I know it has impacted the lives of many of you guys, too. I didn't know Stephanie personally, obviously, but 42 years old? Geezus, the anger and sadness that wells up in me when I think about this is just unbearable. The Spielman family will be in my prayers, and I hope and pray that I live to see the day when someone discovers a way to prevent this type of thing from taking the women we love away so early in life. What he said.
Golden Wheels Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 This is heartbreaking news. She was an inspiration to many.
Just Jack Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks for the links; she had a long fight. I remember Spielman sitting out a year of football when Stephanie was sick, and that was a decade ago. RIP That second link has a link to a TV interview she did just this past June were they touch on the subject about Chris taking that year off.
DarthICE Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I am so very very sorry to hear this. Chris is one of my most favorites of all time. But hey, we need to hold off mamograms till age 50 right?
truth on hold Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Cancer sucks. RIP. lost both my parents to it. thoughs and prayers out to Chris and their 4 children

I lost my mom much too early to non-Hodgkins lymphoma in January of '08 and it still hurts. She was the best person I ever knew. Very few of us get out of this life without having personally known &/or loved someone who has been claimed by cancer. Thoughts and prayers to Chris and his family.
Bullpen Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Jesus, I can't imagine. RIP. Thoughts and prayers with Chris and the family. Those with significant others... go and give her/him a hug and kiss.

MaineMoxie Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 That's truly tragic. RIP. A good friend of mine was first diagnosed last week, spent the week at Roswell, and is already in Hospice. But there's hope on the horizon. There are some promising new treatments coming out based on nano-technologies (some being developed at UB) that could flat-out cure certain cancers.
MattM Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Terrible news--I thought I just saw Chris announcing a college game last weekend or maybe the weekend before. Always liked him as a player and he's actually a good announcer to boot. Sincere condolences to Chris and his family......
seq004 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Chris does a local radio show here in C-Bus and I believe it was back in the summer they changed all the sports talk radio shows on 97.1 The Fan (which I believe are 3 done local) times around to help Chris with a problem "At home." I knew what that meant. So sad, I hate the buckeyes but he's a great man, father and now sadly a widower:(
davefan66 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 My job exposes me to death pretty much every day. Someday I will be immune to it. I hope not. RIP
