This is unreal. I've been so hopeful these past days. To think it was actually testicular cancer level IV. I'm devastated.

I don't even know what to say.

I don't need GW money jesus christ.

it's so weird because I keep going into these spurts of NAH FUCK THIS BULLSHIT I'VE BEATEN WORSE and then just being on the edge of collapse.

50% each...

this is some straight up bullshit though. first the arrest, then my sister's arrest, and then I got my DEAD POPPOP and now I got this kind of bullshit to fucking deal with. STORY OF MY LIFE I guess but this shit just is getting ridiculous. what's next, I go blind? fucking hell.

Dude... I feel somewhat responsible because of my previous ill feelings towards you, but no one deserves this. I will pray for you as much I can and let my friends know. Also, you're a very tenacious dude, you can out last this. Good luck

Jesus, man, I'm really sorry. I hope you can get through this and come out okay...
But a 50% cure rate is still pretty good, especially when you consider that most of the people they treat are probably like morbidly obese 35-year-old bankers or whatever, so I'd say the odds are in your favor here. Just don't give up and stay positive, I guess!

Testicular cancer has one of the highest cure rates of all cancers: in excess of 90%; essentially 100% if it has not metastasized. Even for the relatively few cases in which malignant cancer has spread widely, chemotherapy offers a cure rate of at least 85% today.

Yeah, a 50% chance is pretty good, I think. I mean, I don't know anything about cancer at all, but aren't most survival rates supposed to be way lower? I know you dude, I think you'll make it.

I'm afraid that's not the kind I have. the one I have is POOR PROGNOSIS 50% or something. basically Lance Armstrong testicle cancer, not plastic gonad testicle cancer.

At first I thought it was nothing serious and didn't care about it but now that you said you really have cancer I feel kind of bad

I'll not TAKE ANYTHING you write like this seriously because it looks dumb

fuck the odds, man. you are one of the few people i know who lives with passion, someone with compassion and gets furious at those who don't. if anyone then you and your heart will get you through this, because you've faced down worse.

I have an outgrowth of testicular cancer, level IV, a large mass over my lungs. we're doing a CT scan and other stuff Thurs/Weds to check for other areas, and beginning chemo the next week.

the cure rate is supposed to be 50%

~~50% cure rate on level IV? Testicular cancer is one of easiest forms to cure, with a 85%+ cure rate. Level V should be 50-60% or something. Y~~our doctors are kind of lol.

Edit: Nvm, just read the above posts and saw someone already mentioned this. xP

oh god fuck this is really horrible since you seem like a great guy and you don't deserve this.

i feel really weird saying anything since i never really talked to steel outside of a couple quotes in threads or some shit and i'm fairly sure he doesn't like me, but fuck man, i really respect you, you're probably my favorite person on GW (and more than likely nearly favorite on the internet) and if anyone can beat this you can.

i'd bet on you over lance armstrong anyday man

22 year old in good shape with a STRONG SPIRIT basically you can be the next I BEAT CANCER poster guy.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

This is pretty horrible, I don't know what to say. While I've never really known you that well, I've seen you around, and it's terrible to hear about this. Hopefully you will get through this fine, good luck and stay strong!

I gotta go now, but I thought you should know.

What the fuck. Outgrowth of testicular cancer? So wait this thing was attacking your lungs and all this time it originated in your testicles? That's actually pretty damn fucked up. Was this sort of undetectable or can you now notice a slight abnormality in your testicles.

Dude, cancer is so fucked. I'm really sorry for you....

I know I've never spoken to you personally but you bring alot of life to these forums and I hope you get through this.

Man, everyone is saying 50% is good, and I guess it is because you've got a one in two chance of living, but to be just as much on the cusp of death as you are on the cusp of life must be really terrifying. Try to stay positive I guess!

Yea, how does a cancer from there go all the way to the lungs.. o.O Maybe it's in the blood or something? Nah, they would have noticed that.

I don't know, though.. 50% isn't too good.. People think 1% is already too high. I guess it's better than 30% or whatever.

guys I am pretty sure the doctor isn't mistaken and while I appreciate the wikipedia, come on.

Non-Seminoma Germ Cell Tumor is what I've got over my chest btw for those of you who want to keep e-researching.

also there's a chance it might not even be in my testicles (we're checking later), that's just how cancer works I guess.
