Your collection and posts have always been positive and fun to read
When - not if - you beat this I will look forward to your many “rebuilding the collection” posts.
Take care

Greg, I am glad we have met over the internet and had some positive interactions. Very sorry to hear of your diagnosis. While I don't know your specific cancer type or details of your disease, I would recommend you do a ton of research by reading actual medical studies and seek out the best medical advice...even second opinions. You might even need to travel for that best care/opinions, but you have a close place to start with Mayo in AZ.
I am in the process of my own medical journey as I was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of leukemia (blood cancer) last September. I went through a ton of chemo and some radiation and received a bone marrow transplant 65 days ago. The great news is I am doing remarkably well and am disease free at this point. My best advice is to keep a positive attitude, focus on beating cancer one day at a time, share your story with others so they can pray for you and with you, drink a ton of water and stay active. You will have good days and bad days, but overall, STAY POSITIVE.
I would be happy to talk with you if that would be of interest. Just reach out if that would be helpful. Sorry I cant purchase any of your pins as I just needed to sell TBL, but I am here if they is anything I can do for you.
You will be in my prayers. You can beat this Greg!
Sorry to hear you have cancer. Never give up and I hope you do what cudaman sugest and do your research and look at your options.Best of luck and wishes that you beat it.Stay strong.
So many good thoughts for you in this thread. Add me to the list of prayers coming your way. You can win.
Quoted from pinlawyer:I’ve been diagnosed with an aggressive type of endocrine cancer that I don’t fully understand. What I do know is that I have the fight of my life in front of me and hope very much to live long enough to buy back a new and better collection.
Still, I’ve lived very well, and have spendthrift money on luxuries as though there are many tomorrows left. At this point, it appears we might need to sell the house, or move my parents in with us to help care for me.
While appropriate discounts will be afforded multiple-game purchases, lowball offers are discouraged.

The same carbon which makes us up is the same carbon which has made up many other living things for eons...in other words, we technically live forever.

And F*CK CANCER!
So sorry to hear this. I never got the chance to meet you, but I remember that you invited me over to see your collection the last time I was down in Scottsdale. Wishing the best for you.
So sorry to hear that, reaper coming for all of us and I always appreciate your level minded posts. But I wouldn't want to buy any of your machines, because you're going to beat this. Nothing but love your way.
Wish you the best! Having family support team is awesome! Prayers and well wishes for you and your family .
So Sorry to hear this.
Fight the good fight, there is always hope.
Sending many good vibes to you pin brother.
Your apart of this, all of us, we share a passion together as a group here on pinside.
Our hobby is your hobby.
We are here for you.
Greg,
I’ll send you a separate PM, but I’ll echo what everyone else has already said. Greg is the absolute best. I’ve purchased two machines from him and was treated with respect. His collection is above and beyond anyone else’s I’ve seen. If you don’t know Greg, don’t hesitate to buy one of his machine sight unseen. They are all tastefully blinged out with the absolute best mods. You simply can’t ask for anything better.
As for the disease, I’m simply speechless...
Greg, this is sad news, for you and everyone who has played your collection over the years. I always counted on your APPL tournaments to play the latest and greatest and it has been a blast for 10 years, and heres to 30 more. I just had 7 polyps removed from my colon and am waiting on biopsy results. Cancer sucks and I know you will kick it's ass like you kicked mine all the time in pin league.
P.s. Anyone who is interested in any of Greg's games, I can vouch personally that they are kept in top form.
