I took the meat of this post from an email that was sent to me because it explains the situation very well.
A bit of a sombre post here, but I just wanted to let all of you know that Marcus (Keeper, as he's known here) is in the middle of some very serious health issues. He has a liver disease - a slow, incurable, and progressive autoimmune disease, which attacks the bile ducts causing obstructions both inside and outside of the liver.
They subsequently discovered a tumour and he was to go under the knife to have half his pancreas, bile duct, gall bladder, duodenum, and the tumor removed. Unfortunately when they opened him up they discovered the cancer had spread and so he is now looking at chemotherapy.
Marcus is a long time Westside player, husband and new father. As I told him in an email, I've always admired his courage and bravery in the nets (as, I'm sure, do a lot of you who've played against him over the years) and I know he will be on here soon so I hope everyone can wish him well with his treatment and recovery.
Go get 'em Marcus!
