This doesn't sound too good. I wish him and his family all the best. I really enjoy his work. (and I didn't get this from Facebook)

"More than a week ago, I was diagnosed with a Stage IV throat cancer,"

:(

 

[elbowrm]

Stage 4. That sucks.

 

[RBM]

Terrible. Love Mort.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Oof

 

[MaxThreshold]

Is he or was he a smoker?

 

[JZilla]

Sucks. Mort's the best. I've never seen so much cancer, even Bob Denver came back and got it again.

 

[Sabertooth]

I feel like we are just waiting our turn to board the cancer train. I'd rather get hit by a bus.

 

[squistion]

Is he or was he a smoker?

None of the reports say. Most throat cancers are smoking related, but like lung cancer, some are non-smokers.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Terrible. Love Mort.

 

[Angry Beavers]

Terrible.

 

[Johnnymac]

This sucks, like Mort's work.

HPV-related throat cancer would be my guess. Usually contracted by going down on someone with HPV. Undetected/untreated can lead to cancer.

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

#### cancer

WTF??? Why would you guess this?

Do you have some knowledge of Mort being a man whore or something?

Maybe going for the "Have a nice season, guy" award of the week?

I know I am - it's killed most of my family, especially the men.

Only in the FFA can we get a tribute thread for a guy dying immediately derailed by how much dirty ##### he's eaten in his life.

WTF??? Why would you guess this?

Because throat cancer is often caused by HPV. Michael Douglas down? He went down on Zeta Jones, that's for sure.

 

[Christo]

This doesn't surprise me. He's sounded bad for a while. Curious that it took so long to get a diagnosis.

Nope. Sadly that's the truth.ETA: I'm exhausted and misread your response. I meant to say that HPV does indeed cause mouth/throat cancer

One of my best friends was diagnosed with lung, throat and bone cancer. Never smoked a day in his life.

Sad, only 53.

 

[The General]

I think this is it. We all have cancer of some sort it's just a matter of when it exposed itself.

you'd think with throat cancer there would early signs before it reached stage IV...

 

[eoMMan]

Celine Dion's husband just died from throat cancer.

I don't know who he did or did not go down on.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

I don't remember making out with Mort but I've been under a lot of stress lately.

 

[dickey moe]

Weird thread.

 

[NREC34]

I hope it wasn't Stephania.

 

[Sabertooth]

Wow. Wtf is wrong with you guys?

Im very afraid of this. Ive snacked on a lot of clam.

 

[Ladsud]

Was he a smoker?

 

[Otis]

Lots of great jokes in here about the dying guy.

Dying?

Way to stay positive...

 

[Sabertooth]

Stage 4. That's code for dying.

 

[JuniorNB]

Stage IV: cancers have often metastasized, or spread to other organs or throughout the body. Stage IV cancer can be treated by chemo, radiation, or surgery.

There is no stage 5.

Definitely a horrible turn of events. But not a death sentence. Thoughts and prayers with Mort and his family.

Yeah, I tend to think those treatment are more of a curse than a blessing. They sell false hope. I was thorough disgusted with the cancer treatment industry. Seemed a lot like snake oil to me.

Don't paint the entire effort with such a broad brush. The treatment and cure of many cancers has come a long way over the last couple decades.

 

[Sabertooth]

My only experience was very enlightening. And sickening.

Cancer or munching carpet?

Oh sorry. The very sick and maybe dying guy. Resume the funny!

You think Mort is reading these responses or something?
