I've told some of you about this already, and I know it's weird that I'm telling technical strangers on the Internet about this but you all have more than proven that I can trust you. I somehow have developed a cancerous brain tumor that has been found like over 2 weeks ago. Don't worry though, the doctors say they have a high chance of curing it because this type of tumor is easily curable, plus, I have some really talented doctors on my side so I don't have much to worry about.

Still, regardless of the high odds of success, I'd appreciate some prayers from you guys. I know that I'm not the most important person in your lives but I would be really grateful. I have people praying for me all over (not to sound cocky or anything) and I appreciate their prayers immensely as well. I'm just asking for some well wishes is all. Thank you

How do I say this, You must have a lot of Cahonies to say that over the Internet, Good Luck with your Chemotherapy and all.

I'm doing the 3rd chemo as I type this to you guys. Just updating to y'all because the people on this site are amazing and matter to me even though you're strangers on the internet

We all wish you the best, lad.

The only chemo for today is almost done, about 15 mins left. I'm doing fine you guys

Chemo for today is done. I'm feeling fine, no nausea or anything. Thanks for the support. Got one more for tomorrow then I'm done for my 3rd chemo.

3rd chemotherapy treatment is done. One more and then radiation

May Talos Guide You

I hope things are going well for you, Chief

One thing I wanna get off my chest... Even though I've been through a whole lot... I still hate myself for what I've done in the past... Like being an ungrateful asshole to my mom and dad (ash knows what I'm talking about)... I've been thinking about it a lot through this and it just makes me very shameful that they do all that they can to help me and that I would be ungrateful had I not matured... I swear it's like God put me in the care of two angels, and I've been feeling guilty about this since 9th grade... I still think of myself as a scumbag for what I've done because it's unforgivable to me. Out of all the good people that pass away from cancer (like a friend of mine for example), why did a piece of plops like me get so lucky? I'm not asking for a pity party like the old me would've done and I AM grateful, don't get me wrong... I just don't understand

Last chemo is Friday since the doctors let me celebrate Halloween... After that it's radiation

Good luck Cheifie. Why radiation after chemo?

I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.

I honestly don't know but I trust my doctors so I'm not worried

Glad to see you're still hanging in there, Chief

Last chemo's been done since 1 pm-ish. Sorry that I forgot to tell you guys. But yup, chemo's done! But I have to move on to radiation after thanksgiving

My sister just finished her last round of chemo for ovarian cancer. She's doing great and, I believe, the cancer markers have all but disappeared. I'll keep you in my prayers and may you do as well as she did.

So glad to see you hanging in there Chief! As for the Radiation I wouldn't know procedures or why they would do that. Not a doctor by any means so I couldn't tell ya. Listen, another way to combat it is actually interesting.

A man not to long ago was fighting cancer. However they said he only had a while to live. And you know what he did? He started telling his body to heal. It worked. From what I understand he used some form of meditation or critical thinking. It's slightly complicated but I'll give examples.

My father claims if his hands or feet get cold, he 'tells' his body to warm them up. And after a while they warm up! Not searing hot mind you but his body actually worked that way. As for myself I started meditating (corny but it works) and if I had a headache or stomach pains I would imagine a wave of energy just pushing it away. It's weird but maybe that'll help in future experiences. Some people don't believe in this mumbo jumbo (meditation as I said does sound kind of odd) but maybe it'll work for you. Problem is it takes a lot of energy to stay focused. But, it's worth trying.

I'm glad you're getting better, way to show it who's boss!
