uh so.

this is BIZARRE.

my tumor markers, taken YESTERDAY, meaning after we knew that there was cancer in my brain...

have dropped.

by 100.

what?

how does that even make sense? they were like BRAIN TUMOR IS GETTIN BIGGER I'm pretty sure. maybe it wasn't? I really don't know. but yeah previous tumor marker was like 425 or whatever, and it's now 325???

I don't get it. maybe it wasn't growing and they just examined what they saw anyways? or maybe the etoposide which btw I was pretty certain DIDN'T cross the blood brain barrier is attacking other cancer and the brain met is growing?

I really don't understand but this is good news anyways I guess since the etoposide pills are holding.

i mean he was like 90% sure pathology would return a full report saying ITS A TUMOR. it'd be pretty HOLY SHIT if it wasn't, and I also expect he'd email or try to tell me in some way???

i am very glad to see you are alive and not dying :)

getting your head drilled sounds like a horrible experience. really sorry you had to go through that (although didn't you do that a few months ago when you got the frankenstein railroad track staples on your head? was that under general anesthesia?)

continue not dying and we'll all be happy here. don't and... well, i think we may have to pay you a little visit

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.

By the way, why are you banned? I suppose you wanted some time off but I guess that means no more updates for a while?

okay. i've got some pretty bad news.

i heard from my mom today that steel's health suddenly declined and he's been in intensive care since monday, because he can no longer breathe by himself. from what little she could definitively tell me, it's probably not cancer related, maybe viral, but the doctors don't know yet what it could be. the machine that helps him breathe has health effects from prolonged use, so they may have to intubate his lungs if they can't figure out what's going on soon.

he's been heavily sedated pretty much since he got in. no one knows what the fuck is wrong with him or how long he'll have to stay in, but it's PROBABLY not directly the cancer.

I asked if it could have been complications from his recent surgery, and from what my mom said they don't think it is, because that would have been easily determined.

So, I'm calling his mom tomorrow, to see what's up and such. She probably isn't taking this very well at all (AT ALL), so if anyone wants to send some words of comfort I'd be glad to take PMs and compile them in a big card, which he would get before next week.

But yeah, just wanted to let you guys know that things are worrisome.

That is terrible news :(​.
I just want to say that there is an event at my school called Relay for Life, which is a fundraiser for research to Cure Cancer.  During the 24 hour event, people walk/run around the track (where the event is hosted) to show their commitment towards finding a cure; even though I don't know him at all, I ran 5 miles for Steel, and I'm hoping that is something.
Hopefully you can pull threw this!

honestly steel as of late i thought you were on your way it seemed, despite the constant hits, that tumour markers nevers jumped that high before they went down and the latest drop made me think yeah he's doing good but shit.
