    Much love OPT. I have so much empathy, I've had to have 60% of my stomach removed. Mine was separate from my cancer, but I've dealt with a lot of the same things you're going through. Just wanting you to know you're not alone and sending you so much healing love strength and support. ❤️
    Edit to add, cancer owns my family. My dad was diagnosed with colon cancer when he was 52. Mindset is everything. Everything! He always believed he would beat it. We did finally lose him at 55, it doesn't seem like much, but after he passed his Oncologist came to us and told us my dad was the reason he never ever gave his patients "time left". If he had he would have given my dad literally days. He never believed or understood how my dad managed 3 years. His body, even his bones, were that ravished with cancer when they found it. He swore it was shear mindset and willpower that kept my dad living. Believe you'll beat this. Believe in your quality of life, there is something to you being home even if you don't see it now. But your willpower will take you far. I promise ❤️

    Chin up. You’re a bad ass. You’ve got this. We’re all cheering you on from all over the world. Do what you need to do to beat this. I’m so glad your dad is available to be there to help you out. I’m sure you’re getting some amazing quality time together. You haven’t made it this far to give up. Think of your life as a book. The tough stuff in the beginning just makes the victory even sweeter in the next chapter. Sending hugs!

    I'm so very impressed by your ability to talk about your Cancer, my friend ... and all the wonderful medical fun stuff; which it really isn't ... I had colon cancer 20 years ago ... Yep, 20, two zero ! ... There's always someone who has traveled the road you are on no matter how many twists and turns it may present ... So, let's talk about it ...
    Chemo (?) is no walk in the park, but you may actually have an advantage by not being able to eat ... During chemo (?) I lost all sense of taste ... A spoon of ice cream tasted like overcooked Farina .. blech ! ...
    Radiation (?) that's the hardest ... I don't know if you're a candidate for proton or not, but if it's offered (?) It's a real plus ... For yr comfort, use RadiaCare patches ... Somewhere in the middle of treatment, yr doc will probably ask if you'd like to take a couple days off ... this, my friend, is when you will utter an emphatic YES w tears in yr eyes ...
    Know that I'll be thinking of you ...
    See you in 20 years ...
    Much love ...

    I just watched a video on YT, that was a Frontline episode from 2015 called "Being Mortal". Please watch it if you have the desire to watch clips. It's about an hour.
    I don't know you, but I find such value in what you are doing. Educating people about your illness, is never time wasted, and there will be other people who will watch your video's that are going thru exactly what you are, and will be inspired. I hope you know how much you are loved in the YT Universe!
    I lost both of my parents to mesothelioma (lung cancer, caused by asbestos exposure), and talking about your fears, telling us what's going on, and all of the thoughts you have day-to-day, is so helpful for so many of us. It's a legacy you can leave to the world.
    Please don't ever feel you're rambling, or stupid, or weak, or that you should have never recorded this. I listen to every word that you say, and want to hear more! How do you pass your days? I'm glad your job situation is good, and you've got those sick days banked in case you need them. When you cried, I wanted to hug you so much! I'm such a mom, and wish I could be there looking after you. I understand your desire to be at the hospital. It's a very scary thing you are going thru, and it's normal to want to have help right at hand, when something happens. It's like having a baby, and then they send you home with this tiny little creature, and you have NO IDEA what you are doing!! I was like, can't I stay here?? But I got thru it, with a few mistakes.
    Sending you love, and big, healing energy hugs, from Toronto, Canada

    Do your best to keep hope alive... no matter how hard it might get. There's always hope. Get as much sleep as you can for both physical and mental well being. When you can, do whatever makes you laugh. You are stronger then you know (we all are, I speak from experience), hang on and keep going... no matter what.
    You don't know me, I don't know you... but I really want to see you reach the other side of this.
    Just think, with the thing in your stomach, you really have a unique perspective about "garbage in, garbage out". Bad joke... I'll show myself out now.

      No fundraisers, no. As of right now, that is entirely unnecessary and this community has enough issues. Plus, I don't need certain people looking into my personal affairs that closely :P I don't care to play that game with them.

    I don't know you but I hope you're able to beat the cancer and adjust to your new devices. Fentanyl and other opiates help with your quality of life and can ease the pain. I know that ice packs helped me cope with the incisions from my own surgeries. Being home right after surgery is difficult, I'm glad you have family helping you during your transition home.
