What exactly does having cancer feel like?

Well, it started that my spine was apparently being pushed by a tumor, shooting pain up a leg.
The hospital crappily didn't scan me and diagnosed with sciatica, until one day it was too late, and both legs slowly stopped working.
As for feeling now, my arms are numbish but functioning for now.

you mentioned being paralyzed, but what are the sensations associated with it? Is everything just going numb, or are you in lots of pain?

For now, kinda numb, muscles on neck are swelling, possibly because of the immunotherapy they have me on, I hope. Maybe that'll wear off a bit. I may...lose the arms...I can't imagine how I'll keep myself entertained at that point. I might actually lose my mind.

how are you typing these messages? Are you able to use your hands? (Right now Im using a voice to text feature on my iPhone, which means all of this text is being written by my voice.)

Oh. Interesting. I hope I can get set up somehow to do that. That could keep me sane in my possible last days!

how old are you?

31. 32 August 20th if I make it.

what are some of your favorite things in life? Personally, I love to play poker. I was going to go to the casino yesterday, but my day got busy so I decided not to go. Thinking about going later this afternoon because I love just hanging out with people and talking to them. Part of the reason why I also enjoy forums its just talking to people and learning from their experiences.

Ah, just video games, political talk, lately even religious studies.
I'm Christian, though I've been looking into things that make me question. But are Interesting.
And of course hanging with friends, which has been harder. I may try to have one over today...
