im going to have the most intense possible chemo and probably die anyways!!!

W00T

well good luck with that!!

if I go to indiana, dr. einhorn will see me. so yeah, that's indicative of just how bad this is; the guy who invented the first treatment is my next step.

Fuck. I'm sorry man, this really sucks.

goodluck and godspeed. Have a blast and forget about the past. you will pull through.
ill have you in my prayers.

well, having a doctor that pioneered a treatment is also a good thing, right?!



Good luck steel, hoping for the best!

Fuck this.

i'm really sorry

ugh so I basically lost the first 50% chance of it being cured, I wonder what the cure rate is now? probably something abysmal.

man I wish I had just a little bit more time to recover. w/e.

anyways I should get this out of the way as barring a miracle I'll be doing chemo real soon; obviously can't be staff editor anymore, and ASE, you gotta do troubadours. good luck with GW6, I will still be around, but sorry I can't help!

secondly if anyone can find any information on testicular cancer resurrgence, it'd be useful. what sucks is how rare my kind of thing is; I technically have a Stage IV cancer but it only exists in one area, but this accounts for how ornery it is. I don't see the doc for some time, and my google searches are useless!

that being said, im peo ok. the guy who founded HR Block had terminal lung cancer and colon cancer and he beat both. testicular is one of the most researched and treated cancers, there might still be a cure rate available.

but the next few months will make the last six look easy, and I'm especially worried about what long term effects it will have.

fucking sucks, good luck man. I really hope they can kill that dick in your chest fast.

Oh for fuck's sake. This is beyond horrible. We're all pulling for you, man.

EDIT: I found this website; I don't know whether or not it will be of any help.

this is fucking bullshit

i've been holding back responding to this because i really dont know what to say. I still dont; pull through this.

I can't find much specific information on recurring testicular cancer but one thing all the sites I've been to do stress is that it is still very curable, and that the main danger from recurrance is when people lose touch with doctors after they think they've been cured and then don't catch it until too late. It sounds like the doctors noticed it as early as possible so they have a much better chance of curing it while it's still small. A few different sites mention this but this one is probably the most directly relevant: http://www.cancerbackup.org.uk/Cancertype/Testes/Treatment/Furthertreatment.

Also man this is terrible, but at least you know now that you're able to get through something like chemo and surgery and still come out the other side so hopefully it'll be mentally easier to go through it again. Plus Dr. Einhorn seems to be the go-to guy for testicular cancer (I think he was actually the guy who cured Lance Armstrong after he was given a very poor prognosis) so if anyone can help it's him! So yeah, good luck man, I really hope you get through this.

yeah einhorn cured armstrong. i am a little nervous though that i gotta go out of state.

how bad is this...

I'm not freaking out, I never do unless it's just YOUR FUCKED HERES MORPHINE so I think I'm taking this well enough. goddam though another chemo.

Good luck though I would be pretty pissed right now if I were you. I'm pretty pissed off for you too, though.

we're all dying panda it is just a matter of when and the odds of it and until I know those are zero I'm going to bank on being lucky. I really have nothing to lose by doing this.
