Like Darkman said, you owe it to yourself to react to this if need be, but at the same time try not to let this bring down your quality of life. Yeah the treatments might make you a little sick, but if my fatass 70 year old farmer grandpap bailed hay all summer while he was going through chemo then I'm sure you'll do fine. You're young and it's an easy type of cancer to beat it. Don't be worried about a worst case scenario that's highly unlikely to happen. Worry about how you're going to fucking beat this, and how you're going to make this experience turn you into a stronger person. No matter what life throws at you, always use that experience to better yourself. And I know you don't know me super well, but if you need an ear from someone who won't sit there the whole time throwing a pity party and telling you a bunch of depressing shit like how sorry I am for you, that PM button is always there my dude. I don't mean that in a rude way either, but if you're anything like me, I fucking despised when my dad died when I was in 5th grade and all people wanted to do was tell me they were sorry. I appreciated their concern, but I hated the pity. So anyways, I'm here if you need it. This was motivational as hell and I weirdly imagined that Penn Jillette was yelling it at me. Like that's the voice I heard it in. Anyway, thanks a ton, and I'll definitely take you up on that. EverDownward posted... Yeah, I think you'll probably be able to take a lot and bounce back pretty fast. It's good that you're keeping an open thought just in case, but like you said you need to get back to what's important. Just take care of you. Fingers crossed and everything. In the past when I've had health issues I've usually reacted well to treatments. And yeah, it's grim to say, but if the prognosis turns bad, there are definitely things that can be done (legally of course) to help me. EverDownward posted... Not lymphoma, but I'm stage iv colon cancer. Been on chemo for a year now, doing pretty well. I won't lie, it was excruciating at first, but about a month and a half into it the side effects became manageable. Just don't give up. I won't, and thank you. I hope your treatment continues going well. --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console.
