Fuck Cancer.
It was a monumental day in my life today. Last year I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer (non Hodgkins lymphoma). After 9 aggressive chemo treatments and one big surgery to remove a tumor from around my spine and spinal cord, today I had my chemo port taken out. I'm in full remission and just trying to get back into my normal daily life.
And yes if course I kept that nasty little port.
Cheers everyone,
KeeleonOhms
Cingratulations! My daughter just got hers taken out last month.

Congrats op. Similar story so I feel your relief. Not sure when my oncologist will let me get rid of the port though.

My Dad was paralyzed by his tumor. With the addition of the Philadelphia gene, he was not as fortunate.. I crave success stories. Thank you!
DrDoomRoom

SomePeopleJuggleGeese
I asked to keep mine and they gave it to me. I keep it in a jar on my desk.
DrMooses
I'm so happy for you. Gives me hope.

Kingdomofpeace
As a dude who also had the same type/stage congrats man. Fuck cancer also fuckkk ports
animjason
I love my port, no good veins left so it saves a ton of time and pokes. No cancer, other medical reasons
Kingdomofpeace
They did have a use for sure, but I ended up having issues with two of mine, did save my veins though haha
animjason
True, dang staph infections
Kingdomofpeace
And other things, though in the long run they are useful. But still fuck cancer and so forth
Rubeuss
This is awesometo hear, I'm currently on round 3 of my chemo to remove this bastard in my spine and I hope to see my Hickman line out some d
PortlandMick
Fight the good fight! You got this, if you ever need any support hit me up.
Rubeuss
Hey man thanks, I know I got this, just the journey is hella difficult, I have rabdomayosarcoma which is a rare case of bone cancer, seeing
Rubeuss
Posts like yours gives me inspiration to kill this fucker entirely
Kidelz
Weird question, do you ever feel kinda like it's still there? Ive got this phantom pain sort of thing and am just curious if its common
PortlandMick
I still have soreness and pain from where I had surgery from the tumor. So yes I constantly have anxiety that it's still there or came back
NapAllDayPartyNever
i had my pinky toe amputated and i swear it is still there sometimes
CanadianCommenter
Totally not as awesome as you guys, but I had 2 phantom gallbladder attacks about a month after removal. All in my head apparently.
DoublevBomb
Quite different, but after years of having hyperthroidism, I've developed a mild but irrational fear of being hungry for too long.
DoublevBomb
While in that state of hyper metabolism, hunger is pain, and anxiety runs rampant until it's sated. I kind of worry it'll happen again.

Congrats! FUCK CANCER

Tallgeese is pretty effective against most zodiac,
Razziz
What about Virgo? Or are those the exception?
DoublevBomb
They're more difficult to deal with. That's often the time you'd opt for surgery by Epyon heat chain, as it penetrates energy barriers.
Razziz
Come to think of it, did either of the Tallgeese suits ever face off against Virgos?It's been over a decade since I watched GW.
RickSlabjaw
Did you keep the tumor? So you could taunt it?
MemeDissector
turn it into a punchin bag
Mechlai
I dunno man. You'd be taunting the child of a disease that's just chillin in your bod.
Foxhack
He's taunting his own body cells, so he's essentially taunting himself.
eatsapizzapie
That's just a central venous port for chemo. It's not the tumour
RickSlabjaw
Ah huh. Hey what's that blue shit always floating above our heads?
eatsapizzapie
I don't know captain, what is it?

Cause FUCK CANCER!
RobertNAdams
brb writing down very important personal note in case of future cancer diagnosis
Sayagain
They don't let you keep them usually. They ask you to sign something so they can use it as research.
kernell32
They wouldn't let me even see a cyst i had removed, so I think tumors are way higher on that list.
PossiblyYourMother
That's a very logical reason to give it up, wouldn't even be mad. They'll probably torture the little guy for years! Also research.
CrypticalEnvelopement
Had my left testicle removed b/c of a tumor, I asked to keep it so I could "give my left nut for" something but I was denied

What happens if you eat a tumor?
