[QUOTE=Usernameasd]I didn't read it (I'm really lazy), but thank God you survived.
You're the best Facepuncher ever.[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure having cancer qualifies you as a great person. It's good that he survived, but calling him the best Facepuncher is a little undeserving.

That was a wonderful read.
Great that you got through, and are still here today.

The cancer is only part of why he's the best Facepuncher ever.
I would tell you why, but I'm too lazy.
[QUOTE=stupid07er]Truthfully I have been thinking about writing this for awhile now but I kept putting it off or deciding I wouldn't.

Personally I'm glad you did. It's a very interesting insight into how something such as cancer can affect someone's life.
One of my work colleagues has recently gone for her treatment, she has breast cancer (luckily they caught it early). She's absolutely lovely though, and she'll pull through!
You're a strong guy, nobody should have to go through what you and every other sufferer of a serious illness does, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
*Salutes*
A very good read. Thanks for the update on your situation, I was wondering what was happening to you when I heard you had cancer.
Also, I have a question. Do you need regular check ups now to see if you start to develop cancer again?
[QUOTE=theusaokay]So how did you get cancer?[/QUOTE]
I'm sure you know how someone gets cancer, but this is for those who don't:
EVERYONE is born with Cancer, yes, EVERYONE. Everyone who has been born in the history of Earth was born with Cancer, even you. Cancer lies dormant in certain cells in your body. When those cells die, they release the Cancerous stuff into your body. That is how you get Cancer, but I'm not sure how it turns into Leukemia or the other types of Cancer. One of my cousins died a while after being diagnosed with Leukemia.
Besides that, Cool07'er, I hope everything gets figured out and you live forever.
Hope that Cancer is gone 07'er, you're a great member.
Very interesting story. I'm honestly glad you're okay. I was also getting a bit worried when I read the beginning.
Anyway, my question: are there any long term effects due to Hodgkin's lymphoma, either as a result of the cancer or the treatment? I know lymph nodes are kinda complicated, but I know they're at least a little important. After the cancer is completely gone, will your daily life be affected at all by the damaged/smaller/missing lymph nodes?
[QUOTE=M_B]I understand yeah cancer right got it. Why did you need to post a picture of yourself without a shirt on?[/QUOTE]
Maybe you should have read the post
and if you did, you're just a retard.
[QUOTE=Lem_Nx]There three black dots on your stomach, odd. Is there a reason for them?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, if you read right under it says what they are. They are the tattoos I had to get so that they could line the radiation machine up every day. The machine just works on an xyz axis so your body just has to be in the exact same spot each time. The have lasers coming out of the ceiling and walls that would shine onto me and they'd line my tattoo dots up with the lasers.
You look like Doctor Cox :v:

[QUOTE=Gallik]I know I'm not supposed to post if I don't care, but I still think that it's relevant to the fact that he posts his story here to get sympathy and that I don't think he should (post here, people can give him all the sympathy they want for what I care).
[/QUOTE]
I said the reasons why I was posting this in the OP. I know many people might not know me at all or care, but there are many who do. I have become genuine internet friends, if you will, with lots of Facepunchers and I knew they wanted to hear the whole story. I wasn't searching for sympathy, which is sorta shown by the fact that I am posting this now when I am pretty much back to normal and I didn't post it months ago when I was truly sick.
Somewhat anyways...
[b]Edit:[/b]
Argh my post failed to connect :v:
You looks fuckin badass in the last pictuire, like a punk or some shit.
Anyway, I think you're brave to overcome cancer, even if you said it was very treatable.
Stay well.
I am scared to get cancer. Because I am afraid to go to the doctor.
Glad you overcame it.
Good to be alive eh?

he ran around in a hev suit in nuclear sludge without the helmet.
also that 1st pic looks like one of the citizens in c17
The picture at the top made me feel simpathetic.
Glad to see you survived the cancer. We should start a 'Cancer Victim Society' club because I'm a cancer victim as well. :D
God bless, your newest picture you wouldn't think you'd have cancer, keep the chin up lad! :)
Do you use shampoo? Honestly.
A few months ago I found out my nan had cancer, it doesn't really catch on in my head why it would happen. But seriously, it's great that your getting better and that you have the confidence to talk about it. Good luck with everything =D!

We're here for you. I may not have cancer, but I do my part to help cure cancer and diseases like it. How do I do this? The folding@home application. The proteins in your body assemble or "fold" when encountered by an unkown virus or diesease, ect. But if they fold wrong, the results can be deadly resulting in these deiseases. By using folding@home, the computer simulates how protien folds. Now you may be asking, "Well, don't they have super computers to simulate this?" The answer is yes. But with all the folding@home users folding together, it's much, much, much more powerful then any super computer availible. So everyone, DO YOUR PART!!!
Also...
God bless.
Awesome story.
Congrats on your major victory.
What the fuck, I want cancer. I'll trade you my yoyo for your cancer.
The heavy would like to say.
You did well!
Also man you are one tough dude!
Good luck!
My best friend's Dad is going through Chemo right now.
He didn't lose any hair at all.
Odd.
good job ;d
*sahloot*
Just going to say that I've been there and I know exactly how you feel.
I had Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and reading your post brought back alot of memories.
I admired the doctors for what they did for me and this summer volunteered to give back to Children's Hospital by volunteering for 2 solid weeks.
I'll be three years off treatment this January and I've bee pronounced cured.
No more scans, not more clinic visits, no more anything.
If I have one piece of advice it's that you've made it past all that junk; just don't go messing it up.
Hopefully you don't experience a relapse, and I wish you the best of luck.
I was 12 at the time; I'm 16 now.
