Can't imagine the shock of finding out you need chemo, however better to have the chemo than be told there is nothing they can do.

I have known several family members diagnosed with cancer and the majority, in recent years anyway, have been treated successfully and gone on to lead productive and enjoyable lives.

I'm not downplaying the seriousness of your illness, max, far from it. Just making it clear that the chances of a relatively happy ending are pretty good.

If I prayed I would pray for you. I don't, but next time I'm in 3-MeO-PCP induced shamanic ecstasy I will focus my positive energies your way. It probably won't have any effect, but I'll do it anway <3
 
Sorry to hear Max. Cancer took one of my best mates mum's yesterday. I'm off to see him in a few days; any tips?

On a lighter note I came off me motorbike the other day... At 0mph. Jumped on it from the left, straight down on the right lol thank fuck no one saw.
 
On another lighter note - I'm going to hobble down to see my GP about my right knee in a few minutes.
It's been like this for 3 or 4 days now and there must be some topical cream that will help in some manner. It's driven me mad 8(
 
All the very best Max, I tried to write a PM but I'm shite at such things, I really hope it all goes OK.

Epic,well funny.
Thanks for the support everyone.
@Monsta yes mate I will have any treatment done that they want to do.
@Rogan your post has put my mind more at ease now about having the Picc line put in, sounds worse than it actually is I guess.
@Knock yes mate they did say on the phone that it is treatable so I'm not thinking I'm gonna drop down dead at any time soon but I think my mum thinks that from how she reacts over the phone.
I don't have any experience of any cancer really as no one in my family has had it before.So it's all new and a bit worrying.
 
Gutted for you, Max. That's a lot to face up to by anybody's standards. :|

Like other people have said though, the prognosis is pretty good. The hottest woman I've met in recent years went through chemo for lymphoma a few years back and you'd never tell unless she let you know.

All the best.

Shitter I'm so sorry for your best matey and his Mum's friends and the rest of your family VAC :(

Approaching someone in that position..... I've never actually had to because I've been the one who lost someone to cancer, and the other people who have been involved have been parents or grandparents. But I would say don't make a massive fuss - It brings feelings back. Ofcourse be there for them, and let them know that they can always talk about it and other-such stuff with you - BUT - I doubt that they don't know that being your best friend though :) You'll do the right thing man, friends always do <3

The treatment will probably suck massive big purple cock-dildos, but if it's treatable then that's great man :) As long as that's the case, and you're up for going through with it then that's all we - and your friends and fam - really care about: You being cool :)~<3


Oh! On that lighter note earlier, I was given some Feldene Gel (which contains Piroxicam) and fuck me!!! It works wonders :D
I did put a lot on but it's not toxic and I can use it on my lumbar back and any other muscles / tendons that are inflamed under the skin :)
Problem possibly solved!!! #~{^.^}~#

No worries, if anything, having it removed was worse, in a kinda "holy Fuck I had all that tube inside me?!" way haha. Was a lifesaver though, even if your veins are good it beats having cannulas or chest ports put in every time you need treatment :) Just get it in and forget about it. Although I seem to remember I wasn't allowed to raise my arms above my head, but I'm not all that enthusiastic so that didn't affect me.
 
Just reading through the report from the consultant on my leg / knee, I'm sure these people use big words for the sake of it.

Apparently I reported pain to the 'medial tibial platue'......I never said any such thing

They are going to carry out a 'arthroscopy to assess the articular surfaces' ... just knock me out I don't want to know

They are proposing to remove the metal work form the knee, I have a 'De Puy, now Biomet lateral locking proximal tibial plate...commonly know as a bit of mecanno

they have my consent.....once I'm out they will do what the fuck they like

Snap.

(actually hopefully not quite snap but you know wot i mean)

Only just saw this, Max. Really sorry to hear - that's gotta be one helluva shock to hear no matter what. I'm not gonna pretend to know enough about it to say much of anything other than to wish you well and hope for the best, and to basically echo what Knock said...

Nah, I've been going in once every 3 months ever since I had the accident and op 18 months ago, I'm getting pain in numerous areas due to the misalignment of my knee and an old injury on the other side. I also have extensive nerve damage so pin pointing pain is really difficult, the gut I saw this time was very abrupt, didn't really listen to a word I said and then had to go an consult with the consultant to make any kind of decision.

I was being a little flippant and I am well aware of the details of the original operation and the subsequent problems. It's been OK when I see the guy who did the original OP and is in charge, he is blunt in a factual manner, but his minions seem totally clueless.

At one point they sent my GP a letter saying I had reported I was free of pain when I could barely walk, luckily my GP knows the score and didn't pull my pain meds.

I'm not expecting them to be able to put it totally right again but it obvious to anyone that it hasn't heeled straight, the girl I saw recently to have insoles made was surprised I could walk as well as I could but pretty much wrote off both knees.

I'm lucky enough to have only lost ONE person close to me, at 26. It happened during the country grinding to a halt with heavy snow and couldn't make it up the country to witness her getting worse 'til she said "fuck off, let me fucking die", classic Northern nan, so I still didn't have to properly deal with it.

I'm not going to pretend like I know how he's feeling, I'm not going to ask how he's doing (mum's just died from an aggressive cancer at Christmas), I just sent hopes of holding up strong and if he wants to get FUBAR I'll be right beside him.
