[QUOTE=Jeremyc428;13990271]I'm sorry for asking, but as I read about the whole hair-loss thing, Does all your hair on your body begin to fall off, like including Pubic hairs and such?
Other than that, congratulations, it's a miracle you made it through all this, What a Journey, lets hope you are rid of cancer for good.[/QUOTE]
Yes and no. It was kind of weird to see that different hairs would completely fall out, like the hair on my head and my eyebrows, but other hair would stay, like my arm and leg hairs. Yes, I did lose my pubic hair too lol

Since my immune system is really weak and recovering still they just said it's best not to have any to avoid any unclean or undercooked food.

You look like a bloody supervillian (badass)

One of my friends suggested Dekard Cain
You kind of remind me of the antagonist from the Hannibal Lector flick (the dude in the wheelchair)
And John Malkovich (only in that picture)

So will your hair be growing back and be all fine and dandy? I know that it's not the biggest concern in this situation, but if it were me going through this, I have the highest feeling that's what I'd be worrying about. :D

It's supposed to come back just fine. It's just starting to, but it's taking it's sweet time. I really do miss my hair!

How are you now, anyway?
Shame they didn't read out your message
Wow this is a really inspirational thread, it's nice to hear what cancer is like from an actual sufferer, not what the media wants us to know.
I studied radiography at uni, so it's also nice to hear it didn't piss you off too much with all the scans and stuff.
Nice pictures too haha. Nice of them to give you something to do

You know. Yesterday, I was like trying to find out why you were a respected user.
Then I saw this thread.
You gone through alot man
This is one of the most inspirational thread ! And the marvels of technology to save us :p
Your story touched me, i had a good friend die of throat cancer in 2006.
God bless you.
That story really made me think: this could happen to anyone.
I'd hate to go through the pain you've gone through.
You're a strong man.
God bless you :(
This made me shed a tear.

I'm doing good. Just doing some follow up radiation treatments to be sure all the cancer is gone, but it should be. I'm feeling really good, getting back into my normal life, trying to hang out with friends more and spend a little time out of the house. It's been nice.
Congratulations on your recovery. Hope it's gone for good. Bet it's changed your life though.
Theory: You got respected user status from garry because he felt bad for you -because you were bald.
Sorry i couldn't resist saying that.
Eat well, stay positive and -well, hope that it wont get any worse but don't let the fear of death take over.

I actually think it was Dragon who gave it to me...
[QUOTE=stupid07er;14321321]I actually think it was Dragon who gave it to me...[/QUOTE]
okay let me fix my theory then.
Dragon felt bad for you because you were bald because it reminded him about the fact that garry was bald.
but none of this really matters, garry's no longer bald. he has pubes growing out of his head.
I don't remember if i posted when this thread was first created, but i'll post anyways :)
Shit story, it seems I am among the lucky few who know absolutely noone with cancer, but from what i've heard it sucks big time, hope you feel better now.

hey yo this is pretty random, but as a fellow survivor, why do you think that I dont tell anyone. Even people that are good friends. It's like i'm ashamed or something; i'm not though. maybe you'd have some input.

Maybe you just don't want people treating you differently? Because they definitely do. I find myself trying to avoid it when I meet new people a lot of the time but at least right now it always comes up because people wanna know why I'm not in school or working or why I still live at home.

He got respected member because he's a respected member. Simple as that.
[QUOTE=stupid07er;11549826]Opening Post[/QUOTE]
That's a rough cancer to have. Also the fact that you're on chemotherapy doesn't make it any better. Like you, I've also had to go on chemotherapy for a rare form of cancer that inflicts 1 in 100,000 people under the age of 10. I got it when I was age 5 and was finally off the treatment at age 9. It's called retinoblastoma and it's where a tumor builds up inside of the retina of an eye and if not treated quickly enough, can spread up the optic nerve ending leading to your brain. I had my left eye removed and like you, had a port cathetor placed just to the right of my sternum under the skin so fluids could be injected into me every week. I didn't go completely bald, but my hair was very thin and very sparse and I could rip it out without feeling anything. The worst part about all of this though was the constant nausea. I felt nauseous everyday for those 4 years and after every doctors visit to have fluids pumped into me I think I threw up atleast 2-3 times that day.
Anyways, enough about my condition. I hope only for the best for you "Stupid07er" from now on and that your body remains in one piece.
God bless you stupid07er. One of my family members died from cancer and well basically I stopped eating my crab sticks when I saw the title name. Respect man. But it seems that all's well and you have beaten this boss and leveled up! :)
