Dear Cancer,

Leave Plakespear the fuck alone already! He's going to kick your ass no matter what so you might as well stop trying.

Thanks!

I was really hoping that this thread had been bumped from three years ago...when I saw the date on it my heart sank.

While i sincerely hope, and pray, that the 'spot' is nothing to be worried about, I know that you can kick cancers ass once more if you need to. Stay strong man.

Yeah, on my lung. Which means that they would have to open up my chest to remove it. Today I had an MRI to make sure nothing is in my brain, as well as a PET scan to find out if it is melanoma on my lung or something else. I'll be meeting a with surgeon on Tuesday, and depending on the results of the tests, we'll find out what happens next.

So obviously, I'm really, really scared right now. Lung surgerey isn't exactly a minor procedure. But there is also a possibility that it isn't melanoma, which is what I'm hoping for.

Sorry to get all diary on you guys, but you sure as hell helped me get through this shit the last time around. I'll be in chat for awhile, but might take a break during South Park. It's been a heavy couple of days, to say the least.

++++ vibes and prayers with you Plakes.

Plake,

You kicked buttcheeks ass once and there's absolutely no peachy reason why you shouldn't kick the pert thing's ass again.

Its all good...

Plake,

Don't know you, but know your situation too well. About a year out my scans showed "nodular opacities" consist with metastasis. We waited an agonizing six weeks for repeats scans. The PET scan lit up, but it does so with any inflammatory process. Holy shit, the stuff that you deal with when during that limbo period is unbelievalbly intense.

At six weeks the nodules looked less round and more fuzzy. Repeat scans determined that it was all likely scarring from radiation. So, you DON"T KNOW UNTIL YOU KNOW. Don't let yourself float down that river of doubt. The most important thing is: Do you feel cancer-free? Then live that way and make every day count. Being scared, not the fear you feel standing above big air, but real vulnerable fear that comes from not having control, is normal. However, it is the enemy so don't let it take over.

Good luck with everything. Sorry this experience is so common. Keep kickin' cancer's ass.

By the way, that shirt rules!
