wait what do you guys think the rate of dying in non-brain surgery or triple bypass is? 99.5 is still among the riskier ones because it's basically saying of 200 thorawhatevers, one person dies. it qualifies as risky still.

im dead heh.

well, i figured chest surgery to remove a large tumor would be more like 95% especially since you are having your CHEST cut open

so that's pretty cool

nah, surgery is ridiculously safe these days. it's riskier than most surgeries but 99.5% isn't too bad. it's just not good either!

FUCK I FORGOT THE GOOD NEWS.

so apparently I mentioned the possible additional chemo and he was like EHHH I DONT THINK SO. IF WE DO SURGERY AND CHECK ON A PET IF ANYTHING ACTIVE IS LEFT AND IT ISN'T (PROBABLY THE CASE) YOU WON'T DO CHEMO. AT WORST YOU'D DO RADIATION THERAPY IF ANY OF IT IS HANGING ON.

meaning that if it all dies, and it is dying, tumor markers are down to 43 in a week's time (8 is when you can say its gone), that means we are still at a 50% perma cure rate.

AND: the guy reassured me that if we removed the tumor, it probably wouldn't remiss but if it did, it's not even a cause for mourning. Scott Hamilton (the other Lance Armstrong heh) had his return, and he's doing fine.

basically I can't say for sure about any plan of action until post-surgery when they themselves can see if the tumor is still cancerous or if it's necrotized entirely but at least one oncologist said NOPE NO CHEMO AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'LL BE FINE.

Of course if it does go down to radiation you might end up sterile, does chemo make you sterile or just really really bloated and feeling like shit for a few weeks?

Also seems like you kicked Cancer's ass.

A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.

Wow, that IS good news.

I'm glad my last note didn't post, it was all soppy and love-ridden. ~99.5% chances of survival look like pretty good odds to me. Better than the odds of America surviving its current economic crisis.

Who knows, you will probably look back on this in a few years when you are jobless and homeless and wished cancer kicked your ass.

Joke. Thanks for the update, and please--keep us informed. You rock!!!

Man 99.5% doesn't mean YOU have a 99.5% survival rate. That .5% is like 80 year olds.

Yeah it does. His doctor gave him a personalized survival rate based on his unique circumstances / tumor markers / difficulty of procedure / overall health / tens of other factors I'm sure
