msc 17,708 Posted September 15, 2016 Another Chris Mortensen update. I received very encouraging news last week from my oncologist team of doctors at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center that now enables me to completely focus on recovery rather than treatment. The Stage IV throat (oropharyngel) cancer that was diagnosed in early January and treated with intensive chemotherapy and radiation has been virtually reduced to zero detection of the disease through the latest scans and exams. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well the doctor gets punished too--he doesn't get to bilk the insurance or Medicaid for another 3-4 years as he expected, now his accounts receivable is all fucked up. SC Edit: will be interesting to see if he gets an unlikely obit. NFL executives have missed out, lets see how non head coaches fare.

NFL executive but also the son of an infamous owner. Let's see if he obits. Frankly Id give it 75% chance, meaning I'll be rather surprised if he doesn't. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
