watched it last night, good to hear he's going to be ok and should be able to make it back for the NBA opener
This is beyond disappointing. I feel so badly for Craig. I met him once at a game, well before he was diagnosed, and he shook my hand and said to enjoy the game. He has a light to him that is purely genuine, and I still remember that, along with his awesome choice of clothing. Just a really cool guy in this field... Watching that clip kills me because, in some odd way, I feel like some part of his family. When you're diagnosed with this awful thing, and you talk with family, friends and strangers afflicted with the same hell, you feel a BOND to them. It's like this war where you naturally have this connection. Craig seems so strong, and I admire him for that. In comparison, I doubt I have the same tolerance or fight as he does. Man, I sure hope he recovers. Life can be a cruel,cruel thing. But alas, it's also the greatest gift, even during the most painful of times. Prayers to Craig and his family. Only they know how to manage this...there's no set method. There's prayer, hope, laughter, exercise, wine, bball, walks with your pooch...but it's like you have to leave it up to whomever/whatever makes the call for your rebirth, or sadly, that last dance. I'm learning as I go... All I've got is one day at a time, or on some days, minute by minute. You give yourself glimpses of hope--that light for the dark--by focusing on the things you love. For me it's my fam, friends, my pooch, wine, my coaching team, Bartelstein/Duffy,my college athletes, reading, and the sun on my face. Oh, and the Rockets. That keeps you going, and I'm betting Craig's family, and his love for the NBA, will help him fight. ++++FCancer -Pardon the rant.

Heart wrenching, I wish the best for him and his family. Cancer keeps rising rapidly all around us, its just horrible. Remember to try to do what we can to take a preventive stance against it through healthy lifestyle choices, It won't make cancer extinct but perhaps it will lower the odds
I came here to post condolences, prayers, whatever... and to express my fear for the worst. Then I see this gut wrenching update since I heard the news last night. I lost my father-in-law to lymphoma, so these blood diseases hit extra close to home. Keep fighting Sager, go out on your own terms
Because people are living longer. The incidence of cancer correlates with increasing age, and the prevalence of cancer will be higher in older populations. There are many cancers that have a glimmer of hope that were once a death sentence, and overall 60-70% of cancers are curable. This is a winnable fight.
