    Does anyone know what kind of cancer ?

    As someone who was shockingly diagnosed with a rare form of carcinoma myself last year (and am now undergoing further tests for possible intestinal cancer right now again - yesterday in fact) there are a hell of a lot of cancers that are extremely serious and many that aren't, I am hoping this is one that is not !

    Anyone heard what kind he is facing ? The fact that chemo has been mentioned tells me this is a pretty serious though... Hoping for the best for ol' Dinger !!!!

    Kuharsky says he is "very sick". Damn. Hopefully they can get it under control.

    The article says that type of cancer is not being revealed yet, but I agree that him going straight into chemo is not a good sign.

    He will be in my prayers as well, as will you.

    Thanks very much for that !! Probably won't know much about my situation until Friday with the holiday tomorrow...

    The revelation that he starts chemo soon while not a positive sign, doesn't mean that he hasn't been managing this situation for a while now, may just not have revealed it to his fellow workers until this week. Again hoping all goes well for Mike (and for me too !)

    Definitely puts everything in perspective. Bad week in BSP, though.

    Dinger is a good man who's done a lot for this organization and countless young guys that have come through the doors. Tough as nails, so I don't worry about his ability to fight through this. Our prayers are definitely with him and his family.

    My prayers go out to Dinger and his family. I hope he gets better and he is able to return to football, his family, and anything else he decides to dedicated his life to.
