Bad news
So the last few months I had been having really bad stomach pain. Would last a few hours at most and would end with me throwing up blood. Started out only doing this about once a week or little more, then it moved up to a few times a week.
I'm hard headed and very stubborn, so I never went to the dr. I just figured my ulcer had come back so I changed my diet around and it felt better for a while. The girlfriend came home one night from a girls night early and found me throwing up blood and made me go to throw dr. After a few tests and a few different Dr's they decided that I had stomach cancer. Which is fairly uncommon and very uncommon with someone as young as I am. Went back a few days later to see the oncologist and he confirmed that it was cancer and that it was stage 3. Which has a 5 year survival rate of around 20%. He said the low survival rate was due to the majority of people who have it are 70 plus and can't survive treatment. So he said I should be able to beat it. I told him that I have way to much ass to destroy before I die so I sure as hell ain't dying within 5 years. He laughed, girlfriend hit me. All was well in my world. So I decided to tell you all because besides my girlfriend I haven't told anybody. I have known for about a week now. Thought I would share it with someone and since I have only met a couple of you ****s I figured I would share with all you. |
