2 months is a pretty damn good time to get it detected, so your odds are good at least.Especially for this type of cancer. Today is just such a lame day.
Tails82 wishes you a speedy recoveryTails wishes for a speedy recovery to this website for reasons that have passed into the realm of psychosis obsession long ago, full stop.
Legit loldWell I do try to be a stand up comedian in my spare time :) (That's the easiest dunk on Tails+82 Nuthuggers I'll ever get :p) I do even have a comedy buddy coming in, and we're going to brainstorm some jokes for a show he wants to do with me after I effing kick cancers shit in.
So even when youre feeling shitty youre still a funny person contributing positively to life
Hang in there TC, you got this.Your mom is fucking awesome!
Haven't had cancer myself but my mother went through it twice. Breast cancer and then seven years later, said breast cancer made its way into her spine somehow.
She still kicked its ass twice.
And by whatever deity is listening, so can you!
My deepest sympathies and best of luck!No sympathies. Not yet. Only victory, even if that means I look like fucking Dry Bowser ( awesome ) after all this is done, I will go back to kicking butt in Smash Bros lmao.
Hey good luck TC!! Thank you for sharing your experiences and treatments stories.Bless you, friends
I hope everything goes well for you!!
And yes my wife is a mf badass!! And she's cheering for you too!!
Stay strong friend, you've got this!Thank you so much :3
I survived ALL cancer when I was younger, some 30 odd years ago.How would you figure is listening to your body, per se? I know it's probably different for everybody, but what would you do?
Just keep on fighting...listen to your body (chemo sucks your energy big time).
You got this!
You can do it!Yessir!
Maybe it was more from my mindset of when I was a 10 year old. But i remember wanting to continue to do 10 year old things but the body wouldn't allow it due to fatigue. Especially true in the early days of heavy chemo.

It takes a bit to adjust to the new normal per se. If there is a choice between doing something not necessary vs resting, don't worry about choosing resting.
And, spinal taps and bone marrow shots were no fun but I got used to them. Kinda tells you how many I had
Good luck
Yeeeeep, today is the first of the annoying long slog days.
Chemo ripped a hell of a good sore throat through me, and bleeding started again in nose. So in goes the damn balloon.
Gosh, I hope they don't have to move the pick line. But, the diagnosing doctor came in to tell me this is all going well :3
Keep strong man. Horrible what you have to endure here. Did they give you a port for the chemo infusions?Not quite there yet. Just lots of jabs and intravenous applications so far.
Did they give you those weird ice gloves to wear during chemo? My mom had to wear them for a while for her fingernails. Looked very strange, almost Sci-fi.No, not that either. Wish I had more of the sci-fi stuff haha. It's been pretty boring really. Especially when it gets annoying to speak after the body WAY overcompensates to a goddamn lozenge for the sore throat lol.
You know when you end up with a multiple sclerosis diagnosis for over 8 years, and THEN you get to spend over a month in hospital for freaking leukemia, you start to think your life is destined to go down the life of crime? LmaoUnlimited power!
Like, I've had over a dozen MRI. I should be Magneto: Master of Magnetism at this point XD
Unlimited power!Hair still hasn't fallen out yet. It might even be near the tailend of hospital treatment that this happens.
Though oddly enough, strange things do happen after the chemo and your hair starts growing back. My mother's hair was a lot thicker and my auntie suddenly had natural curls when hers grew back. Never had them before.

Dis you?
I havent had anything to say but I appreciate the updates, youre still in my thoughts and Im pulling for ya every secondMy platelets are still like 5x lower than they should be to be healthy, but the next two weeks plus outpatient care should get me off the ropes and back on the road better than ever :)
Second batch of intravenous chemo begins today!
Kill it. Eviscerate it. Let the cancer die.
I'm not going anywhere yet.

Whelp, today is the day the hair starts coming off.Don't worry about the self bumping. Venting is good. Like screaming into a pillow. Except we occasionally answer back with a silly joke.
Glad it's not coming off in big clumps like POOF, ANNNND IT'S GONE.
But, today might be a 'feelings day' for sure.
I hope the self bumping isn't bothering anybody. This is about the closest thing I'm going to muster for a journal of this experience
Holy shit, they're doing the 10 minutes of intravenous chemo AND the lumbar puncture chemo today.Not a gambling girl but I also like those odds. Rooting for ya <3
Bring it on. I'm ready for just two weeks of prednisone after.
Only a 1-5% chance I wind up in the ICU lmao. I like those odds.

Damn, today is the day the queasiness is really setting in.Chemo does wreck face in your body. It's basically ripping your defense systems apart and all that nasty stuff.
My body WANTS to get better, but it seems almost confused as to why it's not. If that makes any sense. Lots of hiccoughing that really irritates the inflammation in the throat :/
But I really am getting better. Just tired today. Mornings are the toughest because you can't even have a warm meal because people are ALWAYS coming in to do vitals or ask questions or draw blood or give you blood. Lame
Afternoons are nice tho :)
Chemo does wreck face in your body. It's basically ripping your defense systems apart and all that nasty stuff.Quite likely. I caught this early. But not THAT early. There will be a few visits tk the Oncology center for some standalone treatments for a couple months then once a month afterwards.
Any word on whether you'll need immunotherapy after?
