A Touching Note To The Mac And Spiegs Show

(WSCR) This might be the e-mail of the year for The McNeil and Spiegel Show.

This, from listener Steve.

Mac and Matt...  Im sure you have many people who message you and tell you how big a fan they are of you two. You probably have people message you and tell you home much they hate you as well, but that is not why I am here. Im here to tell you that I have been a listener of yours for a few years now. I remember your first week when you came back to the Score. I was like who the "H" are these guys. As I listened and got to know your styles I enjoyed your show. Why am I telling you this?? Well about 8 months ago I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkins lymphoma at the ripe age of 32. I have been battling with all I have since I have 3 kids who depend on me. My first line treatment ( 6 rounds of Chemo) did not do the trick. I then transferred to Northwestern Medical to take the next steps to try and beat this thing. This is why I am messaging you. Over the past 6 months besides my family.. your show has been a bright spot in my days. I have really come to appreciate your knowledge for sports. I have had 3 more rounds of Chemo and every day for the past 4 weeks I have had to drive into the City for radiation. I purposely scheduled radiation at 11 o clock, so I could listen to almost all your show. I had a 2 hour drive in. 10 minutes for radiation. Then 2 hour drive home. This might sound crazy, but thank you for doing what you do and being so damn good at it. During all this I did manage to get both of my boys to there first White Sox games. They really enjoyed it and I am happy that they wont remember that the Sox lost. My next step of this journey starts this Thursday the 17th. I will be starting a Stem Cell Transplant at Northwestern. 21 days in the hospital. I have my radio app downloaded to my phone, so I can still catch you guys every day. Yes.. I might have developed a little man love for you guys, but you have been with me through some of the toughest times of my life. Know that you are more than just Sports talk radio hosts. Your part of my daily escape from this whirlwind I was thrown into. Thanks for taking the time to listen!

Steve
