FUCKING SHIT!!
« on: May 21, 2011, 10:37:40 pm »
Although I've not made it general information around here, it's time I shared this with you all. For the past few weeks, I've been getting sick a lot. A whole buch of random symptoms that occur sporadically, back pains, abdominal pains, headaches, the odd spot of projectile vomiting. The only consistent symptom has been a fever. Nothing too high, but running between 99.5 & 100.5. So with all of these things mixed together, I have been out of work for almost two weeks. Made a few trips to the Doc, as well as tests, blood work, x-rays, and a CT scan. I was finally feeling pretty good yesterday, even the fever seemed to be gone. I made plans to go to an Apocalypse Party today...


Then the phone rang. It was my doc, telling me that she had a partial read on the CT scan, and it showed a blood clot in my lung. She was doing the phone work to get me admitted to the hospital, and I needed to be there right away. So here I am. They started the treatment within an hour of my getting here, using Hepirin, a blood thinner. It will take a few days to to run the entire protocol, so I'm looking at being here 'til Wednesday. So far it's not too bad. But then my doc comes in to talk to me. She has the rest of the CT scan results, and they're not good. In fact, they're downright fucking ugly: There seems to be a "mass" in my liver. As most of you know, I had a liver transplant Twon and a half years ago for that very reason. Having it come back so quickly was a most unpleasant surprise. Adding to both the "unpleasant" as well as the "surprise" aspect is that there are also masses in my lung as well. Cancer is scary, been there, done that. But got through it. When cancer metasticizes, it goes from being scary to just being fucked....


The biopsy is scheduled for Monday morning, and will provide the dfinitive answer. Til then, nothing to do but wait.



Right now my biggest source of concern is for Norm. He has been through so much with my health issues for the last five years. I don't give a shit about me, but this is grossly unfair to him. I know this is hurting him very deeply, and there's nothing I can do about it, and it FUCKING PISSES ME OFF!!!


Thanks for letting me vent.

I know there is nothing we can say to make this better, except that we care for you and Norm as a member of our group.  You know we'll all be sending positive thoughts your way that these "masses" aren't serious, and you'll be all better soon.  I can't even imagine and I'm heartened that you're more concerned for Norm.  Our partners and good family and friends are so awesome and often unsung heroes standing by us.  

All the best for a positive outcome!

Hey Captain, just wanted you to know that I'm thinkig of you, and to let you know that I need you and the your crew need's you, so I'll give you the same advise I give to the others when they are having a few health problems:

Do as you are friggin told
Don't back chat the nurses
If the Doc say's jump you ask "how high"
If the news is good then you will go out and celebrate
If it's not so good, then you take it like the amazing man you are.

You know your crew will be here for you, all you have to do is yell out...and remember, empathy is your pain in our hearts.

Thank you everyone. Been hanging in there so far, making calls, sending emails, and napping  in equal measures. Also been thinking about how to handle this if it is cancer, but I cannot make these decisions alone, Norm has to be in on it too. Meds keep me kinda fuzzy but what can you do? I kept looking wistfully out the window yesterday, looking towards the east. I was hoping to see Sandia Crest collapse most gracefully during the Apocalypse, thereby wiping out several Mega-churches, as well as entire neighborhoods of spoiled white rich folks. Any way, not too much to report at this time, other than the food is consisstently bad...

Hello everyone. I thought I would give you all an update on how things are going here. There is a chance that the mass in the liver is not actually liver cancer per se, but rather a form of Lymphoma. Apparently, there are no markers in the bloodwork for the liver cancer, and lymphoma is a sometimes occurence for people with HIV who have had solid organ transplants. According to the transplant center wher I had my surgery, when this pops up, it has a very high fatality rate. Not quite as high as Liver cancer, but pretty far up there. So basically it has the potential to downgrade me from "Completely Fucked" to merely "Fucked"

They didn't get the biopsy done today, because the Interventional Radiation is run by a bunch of fucktards on crack. I went through this shit with them the first time I had cancer too. Bunch of arrogant assholes. So they re-scheduled me for noon tomorrow. If they pull this shit again, I'll probably get arrested. I'll let you know how it all comes out.

Carl:

Sorry to chime in late, but I wasn't able to slip away from the rapture after party.  Anyway, I want to echo the sentiments that everyone else has expressed so far and say that I'm thinking of you and Norm.

I have everything crossed, and hoping for the best possible result...and I will be watching this space tomorrow.

If they pull this shit again, I'll probably get arrested. I'll let you know how it all comes out.

Carl, this just plain sucks.

Please let me know if there is anything you or Norm need. I am not that far away.

As for those idiots at interventional radiation to pull out their butt plugs and get to work.

I am sending you lots of energy.

HUGS,

Mark

Hi Capt.

Did you get your biopsy done yesterday?

I'm just sick about what you're going through and dealing with.

Yes, it was done yesterday (though that is all I know). He said it was pain-free this time.

Hey everyone. I had th biopsy done on Tuesday morning. I requested, and received, 2mg of attivan to keep me calm. Which combined with the drugs they gave me @ IR made it an almost pleasant experience. This time around, they went right through the front, rather than through the back, Hey took six samples altogether. There was a bit of discomfort nvolved, but nothing that could have been considered painful. I was pretty out of it for the rest of the day. Should have the result later today (Thursday).

Been busy trying to get things in order. Have an attorney coming later to day to do a Transfer of Deed on Death, so that the house and property reverts to Norm without having to go through probate or any of that Bullshit. The local ASO is helping with this, as well as other paperwork we need to get in order at this point.

At this point, I just want to go home to my little doublewide in the mountains, and be with Norm and the dogs.

Good morning.  Sounds like you're handling everything well and I wish you the best.

Take care of yourself.

Did you show ol' Enid the pictar of my enormous horsey-cock I sent you for Christmans last year?

On a more serious note. The docs left a few minutes ago. They had the results of the biopsy. It is the liver cancer after all. It's too big to remove by surgery. Oncologist to be arriving later today to discuss "options" whatever they might be.
