gcreptile 10,963 Posted August 13, 2017 Oh it'll be back. He won't have much of 2018. If he and the other heavyweights of 2017 make it, I predict, we'll see the first team with 20 hits next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm definitely now more in the mood of looking forward for 2018 and thinking about my new picks, than being sad about all the shitty decisions I made for 2017. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next year, my joker won't be FFBI (even if I think there's a chance of them being unique), but I'm excited for 2018, because I will be trying to get a better score than this year. I'm looking at the younger picks I found so far, some definitely will make my team if they make, and others are kind of risky as well. I think I already know one find, however, that is likely a fraud, and need to remember not to put them on my team. If they make out the year, Al-Baghdadi, Davies, and Loughlin will definitely be at the chopping block, and there could be more as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got some new research strategies. Very excited to see how much progress I'll make. And, yes, Loughlin's getting the chopping block. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have refused any further adjuvant therapy, chemo or radiation, since there is less than 3% chance of it making any difference, but more likely it will make me more and more sick.

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted August 14, 2017 That makes a lot more sense now. If he was cancer free, there would be a big chance of me dropping him from my team in 2018 since relapse could happen in years, but being free of metastasis makes me more likely to keep since relapse will probably happen sooner probably than later...

gcreptile 10,963 Posted August 14, 2017 So they got the tumour in his liver, but the primary tumour in the bile duct is still there. He also says that he doesn't want any more chemo, or radiation or whatever - only surgery or nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted August 14, 2017 Sounds like he's limiting his options to either all or nothing. Which could be a game changer depending what year the surgery happens, if it happens at all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
