PUCK CANCER! Show Me Your Cancer Crusader Warface!!!!!!!!

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - PUCK CANCER! Show Me Your Cancer Crusader Warface!!!!!!!! (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 8/20/2017 7:08:57 PM EDT

I'm sitting in a hotel room in Boston, my ass glued to the toilet seat, cleansing my bowels for my second colon cancer surgery this summer. I lost 14 inches of colon before, now another section is coming out and they are going to burn a spot off my liver. As much as this sucks, there are people on this board fighting a much tougher battle! So let's throw some support the way of all those fighting the battle, and all those who have lost someone to cancer.

When I last met with my surgical team in July, I told them there was no way they get to join my fight unless they showed me their War faces. Let's just say it was comical to see some of the world's best cancer surgeons try their best R Lee Ermey impression!

I'm not going to read this thread until I'm out of recovery tomorrow, and I want to see some great FUCK CANCER WAR FACES!

I'll start with mine. Taken the day after I was diagnosed in April.

My thoughts and prayers are going out to you and your family and friends. Here's to a complete and speedy recovery.

I got no warface yet, but we will see after my Urology appointment Sept. 15th. Elevated PSA numbers at 59, but no real cancer history in the family. Depending on biopsy and diagnosis, you will see a face, just don't know what it will look like.

Get well brother. And soon!!!!!

Been there done that. Who is doing the liver work? Dr. Clancy at Dana Farber did mine. The dude is a rocket scientist. I shouldn't be alive but am because of him and a protege of his who now works in Concord NH.

Good luck. This stuff sucks but if it's surgically removable it is definitely survivable. Fuck cancer. Flip it the bird and go right on living.

This was my bride's face of a cancer fighter. Stayed positive. She never gave in. Good days, bad days, she had the faith and confidence to fight on. I'm sure it was a big part of her recovery. She's just as cute and mean as ever...

Had mine removed in Oct of 2016. PSA blood tests since then have been 0.00. Like you, I have no history of Prostate cancer in the family. I had robo surgery and everything worked out well. Hang in there. Things will go well.

It's the same face every morning. Lost a kidney to clear cell cancer in 2000 and proton therapy for prostate in 2013. Glad to be alive.

Sorry no war face. I lost all of my colon back when I was 14. Selfies weren't around then.

Best of luck to you brother. Email me if you have issues

Thanks for posting, it reminds all of us how important good health is.
I wish you well in your fight.
(personally for me, I help fight cancer by donating platelets at the City of Hope, Durate, CA people who need bone morrow transplants.)

Let'm have it! Best wishes

All the best in your fight.Your in one of the best places in the world to battle this.
Found a lump in my left nut 5 years ago. Large B cell lymphoma.
Just did whatever the Cancer docs told me to do. 4 1/2 years out since chemo ended. All good so far.

I wish you the best.
This week I have to go in for surgical removal of some tissue near the brain, in the sinuses. I hope the biopsy is good.
Earlier this year, they took out a tumor up there, and after radiation and some chemo., things were sort of getting back to normal.
I don't want to go through this nonsense again. Of course, PET scan showed some abnormalities in the prostate, so they want me to see a urologist. I hope for nothing more than enlargement of the gland.
BTW, my bill so far this year, about $800,000 and counting. My insurance co., can't be happy.

Well the colon resection went perfectly, no need for a bag.

The liver surgery was aborted because the masses were larger that the doctor expected and one was too close to an artery to safely ablate it laparoscopically. So I'll need another surgery where the actually open me up.

Thanks for all the support my friends!

Rough night, a couple of 20-30 minute car naps between nurses waking me up for whatever, and my roommates snoring. They just gave me 10mg of Oxy, waiting for it to kick in. Did a lap around the floor this morning, and hoping I can get some solid food today. I haven't been eaten solids since Saturday night, and that was just chicken noodle soup.
