The "Fuck you cancer!" thread

[DeepGreenEyes]

Im guessing he also has your sense of humor, which can go a long way.
I hope he makes a decision hes happy with in the long run.
Best wishes to him.

Here, here.

I'm glad he has good counsel. I've heard that the longterm prognosis for testicular cancer is good, if one has to have cancer.

Thanks. Indeed, the prognosis after adjuvant treatment such as he'll get is 96% to 98% chance for no recurrence.

Humor and laughter made a huge difference in my own journey, and I am betting he will greatly benefit from that gift of humor you have given to him!!FYC!!

Yes, distractions are definitely needed in the process

That's such good news - so glad to see it

I'm doing the charity 5k run for cancer research again this year at the beginning of June - I hope we manage to beat last year's fundraising...

I like the 96 to 98% no recurrence...I'll pray for 100%. Sending positive thoughts and energy your/his way. I hope whatever his decision for treatment ends up being, he tolerates it well.

And, humor is a great adjunct treatment.

A quick update on my son with the cancerous dangly bit. He has now fully recovered from the surgery and it's time to decide about post-op treatment. We have spoken with a radiation oncologist and, today, the same medical oncologist who treated my exit ramp last year. After our consultation, he had the lab do a quick blood draw to see what the current levels are for the key tumor markers, as this information would be a part of determining specific dosages for a chemo treatment.

As some kind of treatment will be necessary due to the size of the tumor (the result of some serious procrastination on his part), it's a choice between going nuclear or getting stabbed and poisoned twice. Radiation this young can mean some nasty long-term consequences that don't seem to be the case with the chemo treatment. Plus, chemo won't leave your scrotum looking like you left it out in the sun on the Fourth of July. Decisions, decisions.

Fortunately, he's in a pretty good frame of mind and is applying his engineering thinking cap to the whole thing. You always want to have things in common with your offspring; this isn't one I would have picked from a list beforehand but we seem to be doing okay with it anyway.

The family that ??? together? So sorry your kid gets one of those shit vs. shit options life dishes, glad to hear it's the good odds story tho.

Finally, I have found a specialist in soft tissue fibrosarcoma. They are apparently as rare as a virgin on Lit.

That's excellent! I hope they can give the expertise you need

At this point I will be happy with a doctor who doesn't have to Google it.

I could use a strong positive thought for my mom and dad, if you have one on the floor of the car or an old one that you're not using.

Things are going bad quickly, in such cruelly symbolic ways, and its crushing my dad.

And her death nearing, and his devastation are crushing me. The sadness is a sopping towel, and yet most of the time I feel nothing. Like I'm caressing someone through thick gloves.

A random vibe or a thought for them would be swell.

 

[CutieMouse]

Every spare everything is being sent your way dear. I don't have much spareness these days, but whatever is still around is yours.

I've learned a lot here, DGE, and one of the things I've learned is that the batteries in these antennas don't run down. Beaming good thoughts for your mom and dad and for you, too.
