Sad News about our friend R0CKETMASTER

[gus danger]

This message is from Mara Fox....

Our friend Scotty, Scott Krueger, underwent another
round of tests for a 'stitch in his side' this week,
and today shared the news with me that yesterday he
was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. The cancer
is on both the inside and outside of his lungs. Two
doctors have agreed that he has 6-12 months to live.

Next Friday, they are going to implant a stint to
start further chemo, and the following week the
treatment starts. They are going to dose him once a
week for two months, in an attempt to slow down the
spread of the cancer, though they say there is no
cure.

I asked Scott if he would try looking into alternative
treatments, or come out here to St. Jude's Cancer
Treatment Center, (which claims to have the highest
success rate in the country), but he said he is not
interested. He said, "My card has been punched and I'm
going to accept it". He feels comfortable with the
doctors who have been treating him thus far, and
doesn't see a reason to try anything else.

This comes on the heels of the cancer treatment he has
already been enduring. There was cancer on his tongue
and down his throat - half his tongue was cut out, his
teeth on that side removed, and he has only been able
to take nourishment via a tube in his stomach for the
past several months.

Both of these cancers are linked to smoking, but Scott
never smoked, ever. Both his parents did though, and
he lived with smokers for 30 of his 45 years.

He's asked me to share this news with you, his
friends, and you may pass this along to others who
know him.

Love,
Mara


PS If you wish to contact Scotty, please let me know.

Hi Gus,

I have sent an email to "Scoots".
What a terrible thing to happen to such a wonderful man.
My heart aches.

You guys, Scott was one of the sweetest guys you could ever want to know. He was one of my "Jett pals" from years and years back.

I hope Scott will let me know if he needs anything - you have a friend right here, Scootalicious!

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sheri

Scott,
Sorry to hear about the hand you've been dealt. I didn't remember you right off, but was reminded by Gregg (Wingnut) that we met you at Chiller in '06. When he said that I remembered. You were trying to find video's of Cherie playing in the Viper Room for us. I remember you were quick with a smile and very helpful and there was a certain playfulness in you when you talked (bantered? LOL) to Cherie and Mara. I hope that the doctors are able to help enough to give you some quality time with your family and friends. Because as we all know those are the things that end up being most precious to us.
Good luck
Mike
