I'll go trick or treating to the hospital if you have candy. :P

Where are you located? I'm (seriously) considering going by to visit during your stay.
Call it a 'business trip' :P. Let me know if I can.
NC isn't that far away.

yo i can troll but how many times do i have to say i am a nice person in real life. do you think we would meet each other, i'd scowl and say "semper fucking games"?

it would probably be massively awkward if anything.

also steve keeps trying to make me feel better by saying THOSE AREN'T BAD ODDS FOR SURGERY AN DI'VE HAD LIKE THREE but it doesn't shake this absolute certainty I have that I'm FUCKIN DEAD.

95% ain't bad for all complications considered.  Think of it this way:  if you had this surgery twenty different times, you might only have a complication once.  And, as you said, not all complications are fatal!

Of course, I'd hate to bet my life on anything but 100% odds, but this is still a lot better than your 50% chance when you first found out.  Don't let it get you down, the stats are in your favor!

You'll be just fine, I'm sure of it.

So:

If you have a 95% non-complication rate, that means (obviously) that you have a 5% complication rate.

And all complications aren't fatal. For the sake of argument, if we assume that 10% of all complications are fatal:

5% Complications rate = 1/20
10% Fatal rate = 1/10

1/10 Fatal rate multiplied by the 1/20 Complication rate (without variables, of course):

1/200 Fatal Complication rate

In other words, you have a .5% chance of enduring a fatal complication.

Which leaves a 99.5% chance of survival.

I like those odds. Better than the odds of me having sex tonight.

Try and steal a bedpan from the hospital, just to see if you can.

well yeah, I already had it in the hospital, but post surgery its especially dangerous, and chemo has still fucked my immune system (which is why we're waiting till month's end to do the surgery).

thats cool but if I'm reading right useless to me. my chemo killed most of the active tumor; what's left is a teratoma which could reform the cancer so surgery is still my primary option.

Doctors are idiots why do they have tyo cut you open when they could just miniaturize a school bus or a submarine or something to send through your ear to kill the teratoma with tiny machine guns

You're pretty fuckin' brave dude. I know that you pretty much have no choice but to just suck it up and go through with it, but you're enduring something that most people don't even think about until well into their twilight years and I gotta say you've got some massive cajones and I hope this shit goes well for you.

dont worry ill be dead! also i should edit this topic title to PAGE 39 but w/e most people who would check will check the next page if they see it's not there.

but yeah mortality is a concept you cannot actually wrap your mind around until something like this happens. like FAMILY DEATH makes you feel unsafe but this is such a fucking awful time. like, I am so certain I will die in this surgery. and not in a confirming "aahhhh i had a good life" but in a "NO FUCK I DONT WANT TO DIE". it's awful.

im not gonna post more because its depressing shit to listen to.
