Greg Sharpe

[Pennsyhusker]

Just read Sharpe will not be calling the game tonight due to a procedure he needs to have done in his battle against cancer.
Prayers your way Mr. Sharpe. Husker nation will miss you. Get well and hopefully you will be back on the air next week.

Praying God will ease his pain and wrap his arms around his family as the disease keeps affecting his body.

When I read this all I feel is anger. I don't get that at all. God bless, Greg.

All love to his family. The pain of this life is arduous, but temporary. His impact as a father, husband, and broadcaster is infinite. Prayers up for the comfort of Greg and his family, that they might find space in the deepest pocket of the cupped hands of the Lord at this time.

Very good man.

All our hearts hurt.

The voice of Husker football.

Never met the man, but I know I love him.

I feel badly for him and his family. I was diagnosed with cancer last spring and was very fortunate mine was very treatable and curable. But I can’t begin to know the feeling him and his family must have right now knowing the imminent outcome. Bless them all and provide comfort.

Saying a prayer for Greg and his family, hoping he can hang in there and fight the good fight, god only gives us what we can endure.

Tough news to read.

Praying for you Greg. Husker nation loves you. You are on our hearts and minds.

Sadly, pancreatic cancer is going to do what it is going to do. What a blow to that great family. One thing I've always admired about Greg Sharpe is his positivity. He carried the play by play torch during some very tough seasons. He saw some truly bad football over his tenure. And yet, when his voice came on the broadcast, his voice always inspired optimism. I also have great respect with how he has dealt with his diagnosis publicly. He's set a great public example of how to act in a nation that is woefully short of examples of good character.

Hopefully he has done the immunotherapy treatment. One of my renters had stage 4 metastatic pancreatic cancer and he went to Mayo for immunotherapy after chemo and radiation failed. He’s now I think 4 years out with normal tumor markers on his last checkup a few weeks ago. Pretty remarkable.

Great to hear a positive result on that really tough cancer!!

My best friend was diagnosed in August and passed away less than three months later. They actually found the cancer while looking for something else — and it had already spread beyond the pancreas — which of course is why pancreatic cancer is so tough. It does a good job of hiding.
