Odds are high the chemo will work. While on chemo he will feel like **** and be susceptible to disease since it'll destroy his white blood cells too. He'll be taking antibiotics just in case for the duration of treatment most likely.

Anything can happen with rehab. Cookie came back, as did Lemieux. Many others as well. Bone cancer to my knowledge doesn't make you any more susceptible to future (far or near) bone problems as far as I know.

I believe after he beats this we'll see him again and I will cry harder than I am right now

He mentioned Lemieux who came back. But he was older at that time & made a decision he was done for good regardless in 1996-1997. But then came back 2000-2001 but it didn’t physically take him that long to come back. That was a personal choice involved in there too.

Different forms of cancer & all that but Phil Kessel, Jason Blake, Brian Boyle, Matt Cooke, etc. are some guys who had cancer while playing.

Thanks guys.

Hopefully there is some correlation between his current health and how far along this disease is because he's been playing incredible all year and has not looked sick at all so maybe he's at like stage 1. f*** CANCER!!!!

Maybe the hockey gods will take pity on us and give us Patrick back.

I can’t even imagine how his teammates can focus on something as trivial as a f***ing hockey game right now. These guys, like any pro athlete and really most young folks, feel like they’re invincible. I would expect the entire team is in an a state of shock right now and hopefully the younger players can lean on the vets and coaches for support.

We kid a lot here and bust on guys, but please, never forget these are human beings. We love you Oskar and we know you are going to beat this thing!

All love and support to our sweet boy. Will be thinking of him often.



Question for our resident medical professionals and residents: do we have any kind of studies on athletes' long-term outcomes vs the general population? There's this non-factual nugget lodged in the back of my brain suggesting that, well, since pro athletes have won a certain genetic lottery, they also fare better against certain kinds of illness. I don't want to spread any kind of urban legend or speculation. I think I'm subconsciously grasping for more hope, any kind at all.

Talking with my friend, oncology specialist.

3-6 months of cycled IV chemo. No oral regimens.

National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends Vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, +/- ifosfamide +/- etoposide. The 5 drug regimen offers highest remission rates and 5 year positive outcome rates according to 3 high powered studies I saw when compared to 3 or 4 drug regimens. Real life applications generally follow the guidelines for this disease.

Dox, cyclophos, and vincristine one week, then in 2-3 weeks ifos and etop.

Overall, very treatable, even with metastases, though obviously the latter offers a poorer prognosis than the former.

Super Mario did it, why can't the Super Swede.

Godspeed

I asked my fiancée about it and she said if it’s in the leg they often have to amputate. A previous poster is correct, this is very serious - there is a significant chance that he will lose his life or require treatment that will end his hockey career.

But, he is a very fit young person and will have access to top-quality treatment. I am hoping for the best, for his sake and also his loved ones.

Eventually the team has to concentrate on their professions. It is a bonding experience. Those of us who witnessed the worst of the worst with the death of Pelle Lindbergh remember how the players rallied and had an amalgamated presence under Dave Poulin (especially) but others including Mr. Snider who will always go down as the best owner in the history of sport in my eyes. It is a difficult blow to the structure of the team but more so the obvious friendship and camaraderie involved. One of the great regular season experiences not only in Flyers' history but in NHL annals was that first game against Edmonton, a mishmash of emotions. There will be a rallying cry publicly for Oskar Lindblom. He will have a wonderful support staff. That is important, it always is. He needs to be reminded that he has a terrific life ahead of him. The players will play. The coaches will coach. But Oskar Lindblom will always be on their minds, except in a more spiritual and omnipotent way.

Sadly I remember the Pelle situation. I was also at the Edmonton game and still have the untorn ticket which was a nice gesture by the team. Vets like Poulin, Howe and Marsh did a fantastic job keeping that team together. Hopefully Giroux, Jake and the older guys can do the same now.

Let’s Go Flyers!

Cancer sucks. My mom passed away a couple months ago after fighting various forms of cancer for over 20 years. She had breast cancer, bone cancer, and finally brain cancer.

So many people have similar stories and it is inspirational to witness the fight. My thoughts are with him and his family.

Get better Oskar
