Haha, that you almost got banned for something like that is pure dictatorship.. Unless you started swearing at him..? Though that seems pretty OK around here. I didn't wish him good luck/cheering him on or anything (obviously), but swearing would be inappropriate, I think. Unless he really wants it..:P

Edit: Lol, had to edit my post to make it more friendly, too.

get the fuck out of here, there is no reason to be a huge fucking piece of shit to someone who you know has a legit chance of dying eventually because of this (though, Steel will make it. I know you will buddy).

yeah he probably almost got banned for being a terrible human being, it's something people should be banned for. going up to someone who just got cancer and going YES IM TOTALLY GLAD YOU'RE DYING or not even wishing them good luck or anything is an atrocity. if you harbor bad feelings for him or something go do it privately, because the last thing he needs is some fucks who are rooting for him to die.

god, even wip gave him good luck.

Get the fuck out of GW.

hey steel maybe you got someone elses testicular cancer in your lungs heh

if you want to keep your hair i've heard keeping it cool during the chemo will stop it falling out. like ice pack for your head sorta deal.

all these negative posts *coughs*

they...they're helping the cancer grow...

twin matrix what did you do.

also honestly the hair thing is more something that's uh FREAKING ME OUT. like it seems like such an event that I am pretty sure if there's going to be a breakdown the day it clumps out is going to be it.

on the kind of sad side one of my friends was so upset that he was like I'M GOING TO SHAVE MY HEAD IF HE LOSES HIS HAIR THIS ISN'T FAIR AAAARRRRGH and that's really actually a touching gesture but dont do this anyone it will make me cry or something gay

also also twin matrix sucks wip is at least completely incomprehensible to me but twin matrix is that same person who thought barkley had too many niggers in it so you can ignore her!

I hope it's benign (whatever that means) I lost an aunty due to cancer I just hope the same thing doesn't happen to you. Keep fighting it!
EDIT: Losing your hair ain't that bad, you will grow it back. Although I guess that means you lose your pubes too..

You can always buy a coonskin cap if you lose all your hair, and just tell everyone you are cosplaying daniel boone

or wear a top hat

I know you said before that shaving your head (without the chemo doing it for you) would upset you mum but it might be better mental-preservation to do it yourself and NOT see it fall out? You know being strong is one thing but it almosts seems a method of stress-prevention if you do it yourself.

Then you can be all like "Hey chemo you wanted to take my hair but tough shit I took it already"

Also get yourself some cool headgear like Velfarre said. My personal fave is my russian hunting hat with crazy earflaps

Or get a really really convincing wig and right in the middle of a conversation with someone who thinks it's entirely real, just go "Oh, excuse me..." and switch it for another wig in front of them.

fuck you Twin Matrix

wear a merkin on ya head

become an evil criminal mastermind

I've been considering it honestly. my friend had chemo when he was seven and he kept saying OH ITS SO WEIRD WHEN IT HAPPENS but I bet that only applies when you're seven and when you're 22 it probably just makes you sad!

what the hell man, your friend had cancer too? how deep does steel paladines pit of despair go...

also just to reiterate how i feel about all this

for ten minutes, i tried to type something that really would convey how sorry i feel for you, and fuck it, i failed.


good luck, man. odds are still good, gamble your life on them!

i would suggest shaving your hair man. if you do it now, yourself then it might be better to take than just clumps falling out. just shave it short, not all off or anything. that way you get used to it. i dunno, this sucks man. i think your friend made a really nice gesture in y'know, i'm gonna shave it if yours falls out. i wouldn't try and stop him or anything, maybe it's just a way that would help him deal with it cos this is gonna be hard for him as well.

i don't want to provide my y'know, run-in with cancer, because i'm sure almost everyone on this site knows someone or has a distant relative or some shit who had/has cancer. i think it's getting just out of control. but i'd shave your hair off. it's not letting the cancer beat you. it's kind of like spiting the cancer by doing it yourself. the person i knew who had cancer did it and apparantely it helped with the stress and her hair eventually grew back to some extent before she died (outlook's bleak, but she had breast cancer, and i believe that has a lower survival rate. i'm not sure.) anyway, i would shave it off just to be like "fuck you cancer"

Yeah Steel if you get chemo and lose your hair I'll shave my head too.  We can all take pictures and have a SUPPORT STEEL SHOW US YOUR MUSCLE PICS AND SHAVE YOUR HEAD TOO topic.  I bet you like half of GW would be in on it.

EDIT: I don't know if this has come up or not yet but Tom Green survived testicular cancer and made a month's worth of episodes about it

christ my back is killing me. does anyone know what that could be? like I thought it was a stress thing but holy fucking shit this is nuts.

christ I'm calling the doctor this is too much.

he wasnt there and it's kind of stopped but jesus that was amazing I was reading the thread in an attempt to keep my mind off it and it just locked up.

this sucks!!!

Umm

Try stretching or something?  I don't know man that's terrible.

it could have been your lungs! iirc the lungs are closer to your back than your chest
