Tough road for Duelist 54 -- Mike Beliveau

Post by Bill in Oregon »

I would wish pancreatic cancer -- or a glioblastoma -- on absolutely no one. Hoping Mike's case is one of the exceptions.

I have watched Mike's videos for some time and was saddened to hear about his cancer just as he was recovering from a nasty fall and also the loss of his shooting range the Duelist Den. He sure has had a rough time lately.

He is literally the one "must see" YouTuber I watched every week without fail. I've learned a ton from him. He will be missed. :cry:

My Sister's Husband has a younger brother who was just diagnosed with Glioblastoma. He chose no Chemo. He decided that the little extra time to feel miserable was not an attractive option. He is doing OK right now. His name is Scott.

Prayers for Scott would be appreciated. I am not giving any more information on him because it is not my place to give it. Not only am I bound by HIPAA, he is not really related to me.

Brian, I'll pray for Scott -- as I am for Mike. My step-kids lost their father, a judge in California, to glioblastoma. It's merciless. But there's a guy on my old Oregon fishing forum who was given the pancreatic cancer death sentence and he's alive and well five years later. Maybe Mike will surprise his oncologists.

My Sister inlaw died from that. I remember her Dr. telling her Congratulations you have passed the one year mark and if I remember it was only about 5 percent that see that.
She spent her life doing missions work in Africa and I am sure she is walking on streets of gold with our Savior now.

By all of his updates he seems to have accepted his fate and has chosen to live out his remaining days undergoing no treatment and enjoying time with family and friends.

I don't know if it needs to be said, but Mike is also on my prayer list.

I am also a subscriber to Mike's channel and have said many prayers for him. I replied to him about his decision and he is very confident in his decisions.

There is nothing good to be said about either one. Eight years ago, my wife of 42 years got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. 28 days later she was gone. My only consolation was that she didn't have to suffer very long.

Prayers up for Mike.

Bill, pancreatic cancer took my mother and my youngest sister. Watching them go like that was awful. I and my other siblings get checked every year for it.
