Cancer sucks. I read he was still doing his best to coach while away and I know that for some, that type of stuff is very therapeutic.

Re: Matt Lubick has Leukemia
My wife has the same form of AML and had to go thru a lot of treatment including 2 bone marrow transplants.
She still has to go to Chemo treatments every 6 weeks for the rest of her life.
He may have periods of time where he can continue working but most likely he will also go thru periods of "Chemo Brain" and not be able to function mentally.
Leukemia is one of the only illnesses the social security agency recognizes as incurable and puts people on SSDI without a waiting period.
I pray his treatments work out as well as possible.

Prayers for coach Lubick. If I remember he was a very health conscious guy in terms of diet and exercise.

My wife, herself a 10 year survivor of breast cancer and ocular melnoma, lost 2 cousins (a mother and her daughter) to this type of leukemia several years ago.
It's a tough road ahead for Coach Lubbick.
Our prayers go out for him, as well as all the others battling cancer, in all it's insidious forms.
