re: This may be a big shot in the dark - Brett Anselmo

quote:

---

8 years ago an old team mate and lifelong bud, fought stomach and intestinal pain for a year and a half, finally goes to the doctor and well... it was way too late.

He sent a very heartfelt missive to many of our old "tribe" to go get a colonoscopy. He ended it with, "think about all I will miss, that I should be here for"

So sorry to hear this. It’s terrifying how quickly things can progress with this disease. And that last quote is just heart breaking.
I often wonder what it would’ve been like if Bret was properly diagnosed and chose to go through chemo. Would he be alive today or would we have just prolonged the inevitable? When I start to think about it the more I am at peace with the way it happened.
