Popular Post goldendesign Posted December 1, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted December 1, 2022 I'll be in the hospital for a battery of tests next Wednesday. It is too early to tell, however, it looks like the cancer might of metastases (plural non-plural?) in the liver. Blood work on my thyroid that was destroyed by the last tumor they removed in my throat showed some elevated liver function. My primary, who is one hell of a doctor it seems, pulled my thorax scans from this year and previous and wants an ultrasound and specific CT of the liver. Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma sucks when it moves, the lungs, where I have tumors (very very small) pretty much sealed my outcome but I figured I had at least another decade before they became problematic. The liver is considerably worse. The median survival rate is 14 months. Survival past 5 years is 15%. I can't seem to catch a break with this fucking shit. So good vibes and all that, please. 1 5 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted December 1, 2022 Share #20 Posted December 1, 2022 Wow, lots of vibes headed your way! Good thing you are a tough dude! I talked with my mother yesterday and is in her 11th year of remission from an obscure form of leukemia, they gave her a 4% chance to live the year out at the time, based on the stats. Being a little hard-headed is definitely helpful. Fuck cancer and fuck the stats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a little hard-headed is definitely helpful. Fuck cancer and fuck the stats! Yeah, I'm finding it a bit more difficult this time around to start off with that mentality. I'm at heart a data researcher and pulling this information up, checking the studies, and evaluating their math all leads me to the "odds". I know we don't even know if there is a new tumor, we know the other for-real-tumors have had very slow growth and are not even a concern for quite a while, so this could all be nothing. Until I know more, this is all I can focus on. I looked at the numbers, I've done the research before. Looking at it again won't help. This does solidify my mentality though, I was going to start a video journal for my daughter for future birthdays and holidays. kept putting it off. If I actually want her to have one, I gotta start recording myself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I actually want her to have one, I gotta start recording myself. That's a wonderful idea even if all the news is very, very good. One of my uncles self-published a memoir of stories from his life and another uncle recorded a number of tapes talking about his childhood and family. He was an English professor at a California University and a great storyteller. It was wonderful for the family to enjoy these remembrances when they were both around to talk about the stories and laugh at the memories and they are such special treasures to their kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
