Request for husband diagnosed with 2 cancers

Hello tiger fans,
My heart breaks as I put this request in. Joe has just been diagnosed with 2 cancers and has had 3 surgeries in the last 2 months. He has been an avid tiger fan for 54 years even in the tough years. He has a 74th birthday on July 7th and I know how much it would mean to him to here from tiger fans. I don't know if he will see another birthday so we are trying to make it the best ever. We have been married for 52 years and love our tiger sports, went to school there in 1974 and 1975. I got homesick so we did change schools closer to home but our hearts remain at LSU. If you can possibly send him a bday card it would mean the world to him. Thank you ahead of time.

I would be more than happy to do so - my sincerest sorrow that you are having to fight this, but if my card can bring a small ray of joy - it is the very least I can do.
I wish you all the very best

Wishing you both nothing but the best. Consider posting this on the Tiger Rant. You'd be surprised at the connections some folks have on there. Joe may be blessed with some cards and well wishes from current or former LSU players.

Good luck Joe.
I hope the one downvote was an honest mistake.

Hopefully someone in the athletic department sees this thread and can arrange for Joe to get birthday cards or shoutouts from a few coaches or players

You need to research the Joe Tippens protocol- He had stage 4 and beat it= Chemo and radiation- there are other ways to treat that are better
