This was posted on November 29th by a HOB member that knows Andy:

"Hesaid he's been resting a lot. Just hasn't had the energy to be on the board. He also said he'd stop by in a couple days and catchup. He has an important Drs appointment tomorrow so please remember him in your prayers. I have a checkup at UK tomorrow as well and hope to visit with him a few minutes. Please keep Andy and Mike and all our other BBN brothers and sisters that are dealing with any issues in your prayers. Also please remember our coaches-players and administration as they deal with the issues facing them. We as BBN need to do this because it's the right thing to do regardless of how we feel individually about the situation. "

If that was posted 5+ weeks ago, any update? That's a long time; hope he's ok.

Hate to read that about him, hoping he is doing well. Very good and informative poster on this site, even being a fan of another team I enjoyed reading his post.

Thanks for asking and thanks for the kind words. i posted this in the HOB so just gonna copy and paste it here as well.

Dropping in to say hello
Hi all. Apologies for not dropping by sooner. I really miss all the happenings here and posting recruiting info. Unfortunately life takes us in different directions sometimes, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and a happy new years to all!

For those that have asked, here's a brief update on my health. I went in for surgery several weeks back to remove a cancerous tumor from the upper lobe of my left lung. When the surgical team entered the lung they found that the cancer had already spread to the lower lobe. Biopsy later confirmed it had spread to the lymph nodes as well. Because of the extent it had spread, the surgery was halted and a new treatment plan was formulated, I'm now sitting here with an incurable and very aggressive form of Stage 4 Squamous Cell Carcinoma. The new treatment plan is a dual mix chemotherapy for 15 weeks starting Jan 7th. The hope is that this leads to remission. If this doesn't work, then more desperate measures will be explored. Luckily new immunotherapy treatments are becoming available. IDK...it's just a wait and see game right now.

Thanks to all for their thoughts and prayers. I hope to be back on here sometime in the distant future. Until then, best regards to all and GO BIG BLUE!
