    Powerful speech. I don't think so. Guy has been a warrior for 7 years. He won't back down.

              Powerful speech. I knew he had cancer, but didn't realize he was battling so hard.

              Hope he makes it.

                Why is he a piece of shit? It's a legitimate question. Is it not normal to ask if someone with cancer is about to die? Especially after that speech.

                  I really didn't know he was having that much trouble. I've seen him on TV a lot lately and assumed he was doing well. He's one of my favorite announcers. I'm praying for him.

                    This world is crazy, man.

                    He should get to live. He actually fights.

                    A miserable, worthless waste of life like me should have to die.

                      Stuart Scott is the man.

                      Heck of a speech. Hope the guy pulls through this .

                      Not sure how he was able to compose himself during that speech. Consummate professional

                        Glad for one that it sounds like he is getting the best medical treatment in the country, he is very lucky guy in that aspect. To the question about is it a fair question or not to ask if he is going to die. It sounds like to me, as a person who has had cancer, and many operations. That they are just doing time management at this point, by that I mean they are never going to fully 100 percent remove all of his tumors. Hope he has the family an support around him for when that time comes, where the doctors have tried everything they can, and he can't just say 'lets fight on'.

                            If you paid any attention at all you would have heard Scott say that he wouldn't quit fighting, he had 2 reasons. His daughters. Gott respect the man, instead of coming on a damn message board and say, "is that his way of saying he's gonna die."

                                  Only at the very end when he said "have a great life" did it sound like he was saying goodbye. The rest of the speech he sounded like a true fighter who has not given up

                                    He has really annoyed me for a while but I have more respect for him now. Hope he makes it but it doesn't sound good.

                                      Damn, great piece and speech...got me wanting to cry. Stuart is a great dude, hope he can beat it completely. He deserves to stop having to fight everyday but cancer is a cruel bitch. Easier to just give up so props to him for fighting for so damn long.

                                                    I'm wondering if I'm the only physician on this board.

                                                    Stu had so many things right in that speech

                                                    I've always hated the "giving up" thing with regard to cancer, although I know it's multi-faceted in Jimmy V speeches, etc. As if you live or die based on your own will --- it's a silly idea. The doctors are the ones that enable you to keep it going, and hopefully everyone is using their social, scientific and humanly skills that God granted them to show love in the world.

                                                      many Dr's keep older people living so they can make more money

                                                      No life living on feeding tubes ..let them die naturally

                                                            It sucks so much that the good one's get cancer. Why can't all the murderers, sexually children abusers and all these other sickos get terminal cancer. Sometimes life isn't fair.

                                                                      Stu had so many things right in that speech

                                                                      I've always hated the "giving up" thing with regard to cancer, although I know it's multi-faceted in Jimmy V speeches, etc. As if you live or die based on your own will --- it's a silly idea. The doctors are the ones that enable you to keep it going, and hopefully everyone is using their social, scientific and humanly skills that God granted them to show love in the world.
                                                                      Yes, that is one thing I hate too. To me a person who decides that they would rather forgo treatment so they can spend the last months with their family, and do what they want, instead of going through chemo that will only add anther couple months to their live is much braver. I hope one day in this country we can get to the point where there is not such a stigma to this fact, sometimes its not worth the fight if it doesn't add any quality of life, and their is no chance of survivorablity.
