Health Issue

Postby NCAAhoops » Sun Jan 21, 2024 3:53 pm

Wanted let everyone know why I have been absent from the forums for a while.
Last summer I started have head pain and after going to Dentist 3 times, a Medical Doctor 2 times and finally getting referred to an ENT Specialist I was diagnosed with stage 3 neck cancer. It had attach from the back of my tongue to my left jaw and down the left side of my chin. ENT said it was inoperable due high mortality rate due to so many vital items in your neck area. Late last year I went through 8 weeks of 2 different kinds of chemo each week and 7 weeks of radiation 5 days a week to my neck. That ended December 28 2023. Shortly afterwards I was in the hospital 8 days due to the treatments ravaging my body. I'm not a big guy but lost 72 pounds and went down to 93 pounds. Currently I am now bedridden and on a 24 hour feeding tube at home and will be for weeks to come. While I will eventually get better, doctors say it will be 8-9 months for me to be back to normal self.

With that said I did a lot of work last year on the mod while I didn't feel great so many things were pre-done. There will be a DDSCB24 College Mod this year and I believe all will be done on time if not, very, very close.

A few people at the forums knew I was having health issues so I just wanted to get it out there so everyone understands why I have been unresponsive and everyone understands my condition at this time.

Health and family always come first, no explanation needed for games…

Wish I could MOD a cure...but no talent here. Hang in, ModMaster. Wishing you the best throughout your recovery.

The mods you've done have made the game so much more enjoyable. Really appreciating your continued work on the College Mod for DDSCB2024. Amazing what you've done given the health issues with which you've been dealing.

Prayers for your recovery. Thanks for all you do... it does make the game so much better. I noticed many who have responded to this are long time players... 2007 seems to be the year.

Thanks guys! It's been a long road and recovery seems to be a snails pace. Means alot coming from long time players.
