Fuck everything about this! I'm totally serious!

This is beyond stupidity! I've had leukemia (here is the AMA) and was told I was going to die within two to three weeks. In my opinion the road your walking down now is totally stupid and wrong (to say the least).

If you just accept death you'll surely die. 20% survival rate is way more than what I ever had (what the doctors told me at least), so fuck this! I'm mad, sad and totally frustrated at the same time. It makes me so damn angry to hear these stories about people with cancer who just gives up (and I'm almost never angry).

I know the pain you're going through. It's a fucking horrible disease. An awful and painful disease which totally changes your life forever. I feel really sorry for you and I would've surely helped you if I could (in some way or another).

At least try do some drugs. I did a shit load of different drugs during the two weeks after I got diagnosed. It helped me a lot with the stress. It even made me more open minded and a better person in the long run. Also going through chemotherapy/radiation therapy ain't really that bad if you smoke/eat cannabis during the treatment. I had hair almost down to my ass. I still miss the feeling of long, flowing hair. But at least I got over it.

Here are four pictures of myself. Just to compare:

• Me right before I got diagnosed with leukemia (almost 2 years ago). Together with some "unkown" dude.
• Comparing "hair" with a great friend.

• Me keeping my hopes up. I'm also in a great mood!

• Me today (more or less healthy).

I don't know what else to say. I don't know why you would ever want to keep this to yourself. Your family, your ex, and your friends will be totally destroyed when they finally find out what really happened to you.

That is the only truth.

Obviously 12 months of Xbox Live Gold membership.

Yeah, I totally agree with you. Have an upvote for telling the truth (I also remember reading you AMA a few months back. Hope you're doing okay ). :) It's better to at least try to do something instead of just giving up and hope nobody notices.

After the bone marrow transplantation, I got cGVHD. Basically I traded one deadly disease for another. I'm almost blind on my right eye. I got chronic joint and muscle pains. I also got some problems with my liver. But that's far, far better than being dead at least. GVHD is treatable at least, so yeah, I'm not complaining. Not at all.

Thanks a lot. :) It's always good to hear people say stuff like this. You've made my day. And yeah, Lemmy is badass!

Sorry, but I'm off! Bone marrow and liver biopsy in about two hours. Good times! :D

I can't deny that. Have an upvote from me. ;)
