Lindblom Oskar Lindblom Thread: 20-21 Masterton Trophy Winner (9/24/21 Scan - Cancer Free)

[Mike1167]

I'm praying for you, Oskar, and I wish you a speedy recovery. God bless.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Indeed.
I hope he fully recovers.
I wish mods allowed us to express our emotions fully in this case

It isn't the mods. The site has specific rules by those who operate and words are filtered..

That said, John Klingberg took care of your sentiment today for the entire board on his Twitter account

The person I knew had the Ewing Sarcoma in his back. I would imagine that is pretty much the worst place to have it. I hope Lindblom’s is in an area with a better prognosis.

It appears that most cases afflict the long bones of the body (femur or humerus). That’s sadly not favorable either. My understanding of the disease is that it’s really dictated by how early it’s caught. One hopeful thing is that, with the amount of diagnostics behind the medical staff of a professional sports organization, whatever complaint led to the diagnosis allowed it to be caught early on. If that happens then the sarcoma doesn’t compromise the integrity of the bone and Oskar can recover fully in all manners. The scary parts are if it wasn’t caught early enough: deep involvement of the bone can lead to amputation to save him, if it’s metastasized then medically you just can’t keep up with all the targets.

Reading the Lavy tweet made me tear up. He’ll always be one of my favorite coaches

Pretty sure that was a fake lavy account

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

It was and I removed it.

 

[sigma six]

Damnit. He's just a boy! f***ing HATE cancer.
Pulling for a good ending to this, so unfair.

It could really be anywhere from the humerus to the fingers to the scapula to the ribs. It would be great if it were the distal pinky. Odds are it’s the humerus.

I am gutted by this news. Oskar Lindblom is such a fine young player for this team, and to see his life altered in this manner is tremendously heartbreaking.
My prayers are for Oskar and his family.

Ive been having an existential crisis for two months. This really made me relapse

Waiting to confirm that money actually goes to charity but figured I would post this in here...

 

[Ghosts Beer]

And at the risk of speculation, how much this ….. has spread and to where.

Exactly. f***. This has me really torn up. Obviously my close-to-home scenario makes me extra-worried. I just don’t want anyone to ever face this.

I worry that he’s in a sport where injuries & pain are common, & you battle through them, & think they’re something else....

Nice touch by a Pens' beat. Too often forgotten as one of the greatest moments by Flyers' fans...

Oh good. More crying.

I said this earlier in this thread or somewhere else I dunno but one of my friends succumbed to Ewing sarcoma in late November of 2017. Grew up with him on the baseball diamond and went to school together. It was a tough go, so it's hard to see Oskar go through this. The winter gets colder.

Heartbroken.

Hold your loved ones closer. Life comes at you fast.

Really sorry to hear this happened to your friend. Its just not fair.

 

[daynus]

I read on ESPN and i saw the story, I was it dragged me down. Best wishes, prayers, hoping for the best. Fight it Oskar, we love yah.

 

[DancingPanther]

Can we edit the title to read the correct name of the disease, which is Ewing sarcoma, not Ewing's? @Hollywood Couturier

Also can this not be real?

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Yeah, not about me, but I get it. Mortality is awful.

 

[Alex K]

What a horrible way to wake up in the morning, like a kick in the guts. I wish Oskar and his family members strength, both physical and moral.

 

[DancingPanther]

Really sorry to hear this happened to your friend. Its just not fair.

It's not. Thanks bud

Hopefully Oskar caught it nice and early and it's in a small bone

 

[The Rage Kage]

Holy f***. Screw hockey just get better. Its a terrible thing at any age but to have to deal with this at 23 just f***ing sucks.

I can... but the Flyers press release states Ewing’s sarcoma and searching Ewing’s sarcoma yields results as it being the proper name also from what I can tell.

Fair enough

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Fair enough

I’m just basing it off of that. If I’m misinformed just let me know and I can change it but it looks like it goes by both names.

Life is the ultimate gift. And i am ok with dying, like its out of my hands so there truly isn’t anything to worry about that is out of your control ( like the flyers never winning the cup). It just really hurts to see some people get an unfair shot at life. I went out on a date with this thai girl who came to America to give her son a better chance at life. Her 2 week touring visa expired 18 months ago and her employer knows this and is literally working her 60 hours a week at a thai restaurant. How can we treat each other so awfully. Its breaking my heart. Im in a really bad spot mentally right now. Im doing like an hour of cardio every day to get myself out of this funk but nothing is working.
