Some of you know I was offline for a bit this week for surgery. What you didn’t know (and what I didn’t know until about 2 hours ago) is that the surgery has uncovered cancer.
I’m intentionally using “c” cancer and not “C” Cancer because 6 months ago the biopsies I had done were pre-cancerous with no sign of cancer proper.
So, whatever it is, it developed in the last 6 months and I take that as a good sign.
From here I need to focus on doing what the docs tell me to do starting with blood tests tomorrow, then we’re doing genetic stuff and a CT scan, that will tell us the official “stage” of the cancer.
My plan is to come back, but it won’t be immediate and I don’t (yet) have any sort of timeline. My ideas are probably more aggressive than the doctors and insurance will allow. 😉
So I’m planning on the worst, doing paperwork, advanced directives, all the stuff you don’t usually have to think about. Then we’ll see where it goes.
I wish Lemmy all the luck in the world!


Tnx for your Post, and imo it’s courageous to lay it all out in the open. Didn’t know you had been hospitalised earlier, though I suspected something. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Courage, strength and all the best.
