~Deacon's Fucked up Cancer Thread~

[FranklyFrank]

Okay, so maybe my last update for a little while
Peace and love my friends, never forget that.

Deacon, I usually have no problem filling a page with my thoughts but this time, my words fail me. They are silent as I am humbled by the battle you are facing each day. We can be so petty in the things we complain about until we see the true struggle of those that put all of their energy into standing up to such a ferocious adversary.

Through your strength to carry on this fight, we see your courage and your spirit. I can only admire the grace and determination you exhibit to all of us.

Prayers, hope and positive thoughts always sent your way!

Who knew that years ago when I joined this little corner of the world that I would make friendships that even I can go weeks or months from talking but know that the love and friendship is there. THIS man is one of those people. He has been there for so long for me and having him there has brightened my day.

I am glad we have reconnected and that I have been able to talk with you more and support you through your journey. You truly are the picture of a fighter and the value of that is you have so many people behind you to hold you up and support you through it all with love prayer and ALL the strength we can muster to send your way.

But this right here this thread is the importance of community and knowing what people are about. YEAH it's a sex board but you know what so much more than that as well. Its a board to support those through thick and thin and to know you have a group of people behind you. Remember that daily and know I am just a moment away when you need me. BTW I need that surgeons name and number I have a trip coming with some flip flops I need to take!

I don’t know what possibly to say, Deac, that could remotely provide comfort. Maybe get a second opinion on the tumor. And my mother-in-law has fought off cancer and its returns for more than 20 years and is in remission. Maybe there’s some hope in that

 

[SassySheDevil]

I'm so sorry to read this Deacon. Like many others, I know there are no words of comfort. I hope you know that many are with you in this journey. It has been important to share this. So thank you.

 

[BlackCaramelCreme]

Ditto to what fungatorgurl said.

We all love you and care about you. What you’re going through shows us your strength. Thank you for keeping us with you every step of the way. Please know you are truly cherished in my heartYou have real estate there

You’re alive. I refuse to treat you as if you’re gone. Attempt to cross things off your bucket list with no regurts (regrets). I hope this includes sharing the name of that doctor. No one wants someone who’ll kick you while you’re down, going through this ordeal.

 

[Dribble]

One is never alone Deacon. The power of Lit be strong with you.

Okay, so maybe my last update for a little while

Saw my surgeon, and he refused to cut out the tumor. He says I'd probably die during the surgery, and that it would do no good, because I'm now stage four and terminal The only thing that will prolong my life is more chemo.

The guys's bedside manners suck ass to say the least.I told him I wouldnt be back to see him when he tried getting me to make another appt.

So, as you can see, those colonoscopies are important.

How much time do I have left? Who knows, but I'll go on fighting it just like I have been, and hope I end up in remission eventually. I can tell you, facing your own mortality is a real bitch.

Peace and love my friends, never forget that.

I am so sorry to hear that. The doctor also sounds like as jerk. Are you going to get a second opinion?

Seek a second opinion… not from a little community hospital, but from a large medical center. UCLA or Cedars if in Los Angeles..they are more up to date with procedures for cancer. Wish you the best!

This isn't what i and others wanted to hear Praying for you daily

 

[Deacon_Voss]

Okay, so part of my doom and gloom on Friday that I didnt mention, is that right after that long day of crap news, I learned that my father died of colon cancer complications.

Now as to why I was having a conversation about my actual cancer with a cola-rectal surgeon rather than my oncologist, escapes me.The man hasnt even talked to my oncologist since late January. I personally think he overstepped his bounds.

As for the importance this forum, and this thread have played in my sanity, all of you need to know that its meant the world to me.

And on a good note, Max Versatappen just won the F! world championship

 

[HeavyBalls]

Strength and honour good sir.

Ditto to what so many have said - this is a community. Have enjoyed our conversations and post-play. prayers and hugs. Talk to the oncologists - he/she may have other ideas.

Deacon.


Sorry about your father. Those losses can be tough, no matter the state of the relationship.

 

[Deprived_in_AZ]

Fight, Deacon, fight…. The whole PG is with you xx

"Peace and love, my friends, never forget that." One of Deacon's last posts. We're not forgetting. Deacon has been quiet lately, and today we found out why. Today his wife reached out to a few of us to update us on his condition and it's not good. She's allowed us to share, since that's what he wanted. He wanted this thread to be an open conversation about his journey. He's been in the hospital and on a ventilator to help him breathe. There hasn't been any improvement and so he and his family have made the difficult decision to remove the vent. Nobody's sure what that's going to mean in terms of time, but we'll share as we get more news. We're extremely grateful to Mrs. Deacon for reaching out on what must be the most difficult day of her life but it underscores the sense of community he felt here. The boards will not be the same and we will feel the loss of yet another amazing individual who we all came to know and love. We don't have any more information at this time but will share it when we do. But please keep them close at heart as they work through everything. If you're the praying type, now would be the time. Peace and love, my friends. Never forget that.

We love you, Deacon, and will always be your favorite clique.
Forever and always, "your girls"

Not the news I was hoping for. He put up a hard fight.
