Been having health issues for a while now.
Just got the news yesterday from my last test.
I officially got fucking cancer in my gut.
Edit:
Sorry all,
Had a couple of days that weren't the best.
It was a swift reminder that I still have things to take care of.
My wife still needs to learn passwords, bills, etc. That got me thinking about what my "footprint" will look like when I'm gone.
I'm actually an intensely private person and I thought I've shared a tad much on here. At the same time I've got to talk to a lot of great people here and it does lift my spirits some when I see the positive posts from everyone.
Got rid of most of the pics etc.....the more I thought about it the more I felt selfish. CP has been my go to for 10+ years now and it didn't feel right to throw the C word out there and then just ignore it like it didn't happen.

Thank you much.
I think today is more meds and making a plan.
It will be a relief just to have something in place so I know what to expect [Reply]

I truly appreciate the offer and you are now my favorite poster.
God bless
I understand. Sorry that it can't work out for you. And I can't be your favorite poster because I hardly ever post. I lurk constantly though and have for many years. So I could be your favorite lurker 😄 [Reply]

Damn, man. Very sorry to hear. Praying for peace of mind and I hope the doctors at least were able to prescribe some treatment that will help based on the diagnosis. [Reply]

Very sad day for Chiefs Planet. So sorry you're going through this. Just said a prayer for you asking for it to either turn out well or be as painless as possible. Hang tough. [Reply]
