UMMPPPHHHH! That was ****ing brutal

Real heart isn't catching a ball in a game. Real heart isn't making a comeback for the cash when you're down. Real heart is watching a guy in a situation like this facing it the way he is.

GL Sam. Youre an inspiration

Puts a lot of the BS discussed here in perspective. What a great guy for doing this. As well as helping to create The Simpsons.

Well played, sir. For bringing a lot of joy to a lot of people.

--PP

wp sir, nh.

You guys are all so sad.

Sam Simon clearly lead a prolific life, one which 99.99% of the people on this earth could never hope to compare too.

Death is an inevitability. The only reason to be sad when death comes is if the life that preceded death wasn't all it could or should have been.

Mr. Simon obviously kicked the world's ass his entire life, so instead of sad I think that all of his friends, family and admirers should be proud.

Just my two cents

And Mr. Simon would probably agree with every word here, at least from what I gathered from the Maron interview.

What are you on about? The whole thread is full of good wishes and thanks for his contributions to television and life.

Don't be an idiot.

On topic, Basically that ****ing blows, i hope he is surrounded by loved ones and can make the best out of the worst situation.

This sucks, man. I'd be proud as **** to leave behind half the legacy he will tho, best wishes to him and his family.

Although this is probably a quack therapy, many claim cancer is a vitamin deficiency. There is a series of youtube videos and book reviews on "Cancer - Step Outside the Box". Yes it is a long shot but why not. Also I played with you once in one of the cheap tournaments at Hollywood Park Casino. I think it would be a kick to add $10 million to one of those to see what happens. Hope you beat it.

You seem like a good guy. In reality, you are dead-on. It just sucks.

I've been having problems with my prostate for months now and i'm only 29. This thread makes me want to head back to the doctors to get a follow up check-up.

My friend got Prostate cancer at 27 and died at 29... Its horrible and the only reason he lost his life is because they did not find it was cancer util he had seen his 3rd doctor and it was to late. Get a check up my friend!!

best wishes for him and his family

Yeah i plan on heading there tonight or tomorrow. Been there twice already and they only gave me antibiotics which didn't seem to work. Should man up and get the proper exam done to put my mind at ease. Sorry about your friend btw.

When you have all the money you ever need and can do what you want, colonoscopies are not in the top 10 of things that come to mind.

Michael Jackson was obsessed with his own health. Look how far he got.

There are more things in life than trying to squeeze out as many years as possible.

That said: much respect for Sam and what he has achieved. I hope he still has plenty of quality time left to enjoy. GL

FYP

Great read Pocket Thank You.

All the Best Mr Simon and it sounds like you are Livin the Dream have a Ball Sir.

I have been on Transplant list for a Liver taken off 6 weeks ago told they couldn't do anything but we will keep you alive for a few years. 5 days later they say come back down and back on list, last Wednesday off again and get results of the new Cancers found in my Liver on Friday. It has been one hell of a Roller Coaster ride.

I am trying anything to stay alive as long as possible as I have a Beautiful 10 year old daughter who has been by my side throughout our ordeals which started 4.5 years ago when we Lost our 18 year old Son. I just started coming good then December 2012 they find Cancer in my liver. Been a struggle ever since, she was always by my side but she decided to stay home last time as it has been soooo Cold here in Perth.

We live 1600k away and she has a school Picnic tomorrow, Mum has to go back to work so I told her to take her brothers photo a blanket and enjoy the picnic. She has been to 11 schools back and forth but as I said to her you have met so many people and made friends where ever you went. She is a great kid.

I tell the Specialists that most of the big medical words go right over my head and say it is like I am Bart Simpsons dog as it sounds like Bla Bla Bla. Loved the show and all the best with your fight, I am trying what ever is available and will never give in.

If you're over 50 and not getting regular colonoscopies something's wrong.

I had two polyps removed on my first one and zero thankfully on my second one six years later.

An ounce of prevention.......

Fight the good fight, positivity and a strong mind set go a long way. I wish you the best man, and I hope you get to continue to watch your daughter grow for many years to come.

kinda hard to comprehend.. you would think a guy at his age with all the wealth would do a yearly health check up.. we all really need to do it
