Some of you know I was offline for a bit this week for surgery. What you didn’t know (and what I didn’t know until about 2 hours ago) is that the surgery has uncovered cancer.
I’m intentionally using “c” cancer and not “C” Cancer because 6 months ago the biopsies I had done were pre-cancerous with no sign of cancer proper.
So, whatever it is, it developed in the last 6 months and I take that as a good sign.
From here I need to focus on doing what the docs tell me to do starting with blood tests tomorrow, then we’re doing genetic stuff and a CT scan, that will tell us the official “stage” of the cancer.
My plan is to come back, but it won’t be immediate and I don’t (yet) have any sort of timeline. My ideas are probably more aggressive than the doctors and insurance will allow. 😉
So I’m planning on the worst, doing paperwork, advanced directives, all the stuff you don’t usually have to think about. Then we’ll see where it goes.
I wish Lemmy all the luck in the world!
Sorry to hear. Sending virtual power hug from Sweden. Looking forward to see you here again!
Speaking of Sweden… I just blew through all the Simon Stålenhag books. Good reads with gorgeous art!

Ooh, I had almost forgotten - I’ve intended to read them, ever since I saw some examples a couple of years ago. Thanks for the reminder! I hope he’ll do some movie collaboration one day, I think that could end up in something really innovative.
Tales From the Loop got adapted for Amazon Prime and Electric State was adapted for Netflix. I enjoyed Electric State, but other than the name, look, and feel, it didn’t really adapt the book.
Haven’t seen Tales From the Loop yet.
Sunset at Zero Point likely couldn’t get made in the current political environment due to it being a sweet gay romance book. Think sci-fi version of “Moonlight.”
Wow, exciting to hear! I had no idea. Gotta check these out next time I sign up for a subscription period.
Sorry to hear this. All the best to you.
I hope you get decisively rid of this illness, and wish you luck. :)
i don’t know who you are, but i wish you all the best!
Wishing you a boring and uneventful complete recovery from Australia ❤️
Good luck, stay strong, dont forget to have fun
Working on it!
Look after yourself and good luck.
Best of luck, godspeed, hope to hear from you again sometime with good news.
Lots of love brother, stay strong! ❤️
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Good luck!
Good luck with everything!
Tnx for your Post, and imo it’s courageous to lay it all out in the open. Didn’t know you had been hospitalised earlier, though I suspected something. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Courage, strength and all the best.
Do the necessary, friend. Best wishes and speedy recovery from malaysia.
Fuck cancer, kick it in the nuts for us!
Good luck! All the best for your health!
