Stefán Karl Stefánsson, who played Robbie Rotten on Lazy Town, has pancreatic cancer - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=Stimich;51407440]Wait, what? It's back down to 39k? What happened?[/QUOTE] [quote]Hi everybody -- So someone has been posting fake donations in crazy amounts on this page. I realize the temptation might be there to mess around with such a public effort, but please, if you're doing it or you know who is, kindly remember that there's a real person we're trying to help.[/quote]

That's fucked up

Why is this shit allowed to happen

People who fake donations don't deserve love or compassion.

Pancreatic cancer is a fucking bitch. It's very difficult to treat. Five year survival rate is less than 5%. My boss/mentor was recently diagnosed as well. :(

[QUOTE=darth-veger;51406746]I didn't even realized i bumped the thread since i thought dogg did it a few minutes before me rather then a week[/QUOTE] I haven't bumped the thread. You bumped it after a week - I posted 2 mins after you.

I really hope that he wil be okay, this man is amazing: [video=youtube;9ytqr2RN-YE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ytqr2RN-YE[/video]

I used to watch this show when i was a lil kid. Jesus,i hope he can recover from it. Cancer is really fucking sucks

Starting chemo, good luck to him. [t]https://d2kw0licpa1moo.cloudfront.net/15209143_1479827384.6172_updates.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=HybridTheroy;51408033]You can have your pancreas removed if it's discovered early enough though right?[/QUOTE] You can have most of them removed but I'm not sure if they can be removed entirely. Nonetheless, the most stressing issue is that the symptoms of pancreatic cancer only show up after the cancer is so bad that it's practically uncurable, meaning you kind of have to find it by accident.

tbh the worst diseases are the ones that leave you so damaged physically or mentally that you either become too weak to live or are changed too much to be who you were and then there is brain cancer... and pancreatic cancer, stuff like that. Both of these will damage you so much, that chances are that you'll have no fucking chance to ever be normal again. Once you have it? that's fucking it, your life is over.

[QUOTE=ThePanther;51406165]Since the thread got bumped again, how about an actual update (good news): [url=https://www.gofundme.com/2tm9tqk?viewupdates=1&utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email&utm_content=cta_button&utm_campaign=upd_n#updates]GoFundMe Campaign Update[/url][/QUOTE] I cannot wait to tune in to that

[QUOTE=AaronM202;51221784]Dude. Your first reaction to learning a man has LIFE THREATENING CANCER, is to hope it makes sure the meme dies. Dont you see how thats kind of fucked up? And by kind of i mean [b]thats fucked up.[/b] [editline]18th October 2016[/editline] Let me repeat for you. You learn a man has a potentially fatal illness. Your first and foremost concern is to hope that, as a result of him having FUCKING CANCER, it kills a meme associated with him. Thats psychotic.[/QUOTE] I believe you're being overly dramatic. It's the Internet, after all.

The only problem is a micrometastasis cannot be detected in the bloodstream, but that holds good for any operative management of a tumor. Nor does this prevent the low possibility of seeding the surgical site with residual cells while performing the surgery.

[QUOTE=HybridTheroy;51408033]You can have your pancreas removed if it's discovered early enough though right?[/QUOTE] Pretty sure you need your pancreas dude

[QUOTE=Cabbage;51416094]Pretty sure you need your pancreas dude[/QUOTE] Well you do become diabetic and need enzyme supplements, but otherwise is perfectly manageable if you aren't already too old and have other comorbid conditions.

I'm not particularly well read when it comes to medicine and disease, but is it possible for pancreatic cancer to be benign? Would that mean that it's possible to simply remove the cancer and not the pancreas itself?

Calling it cancer directly implies it's, y'know, cancerous.

God bless this man. He's brought so much joy and wonder to millions of people. I hope he pulls through just fine.

You get tumors popping up in your lungs, liver and shit.

its funny how on that show, they swapped out like half of the main (human) characters for other actors, but you can never replace stefan it seems.

[QUOTE=ThePanther;51517388]Yay! [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zw3uavw6cI[/media][/QUOTE] He seems like such a good-natured kind-hearted person and I hope everything ends up going well for him
