    Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that i'm already home under my sister's care

    Everything went very smoothly with the operation. I managed to count to two before blacking out.

    Gonna be a few days of laying back doing nothing until I'm up and about. The tests to determine the nature and stage of the cancer aren't until next week, so I have nothing to worry about for a few days

    I was planning to play some NDA RESTRICTION but I am always up for some League of Legends (add me ArhurtAB on American servers) and I've been meaning to get a group to get through Borderlands or Dead Island for the longest time! Add me on steam: Arhurt

    Well as much as I wished to just call it done and go get drunk, the doctors think it would be "safer" for me to take some time and get some further treatment. The cowards are calling this the "safe bet" and they plan to inject me with some sort of chemothrapist compuds that would hunt down any fast-replicating cells in my body and kill them.

    It's gonna be one hell of a safari in here as I've been always told how I'm a very fast self-replicating cell type of guy.

    So yeah, I've had my first application of chemotherapy today. I'm gonna have two more applications throughout the next few months. I don't feel anything as bad as I was expecting, but then it's the very first day. At any height, at least its excuses to sit on my lazy ass all day and finish watching Battlestar: Galactica.

    And before anyone gets concerned or anything its not one of those cases where I have, say, 60% chances of making it. This cancer has a 100% chance of being cured with treatment, so it's just a matter or surviving the treatment itself, which should be no harder than taking a crap, it's ugly, but you (mostly) come out clean the other side.

    dude, i wish i had half the relax you have. chemo is a bitch, but yeah - better safe than sorry. and i guess there's a couple more seasons you can watch good to hear you're feeling ok so far.

    on a not so related note: may i ask if you're still working (more or less) fulltime when you're not in the hospital?

    Heh... not so much. I just finished the 3rd season and WTF?!? The hell did I watch!!!

    As far as work goes, I'm not at the hospital! I'm at home and life hasn't changed aside from regular blood exams every other week. I'm trying to keep life going as much as I can so, yeah, if I can I'll go to work regardless. Of course I'm trying not to be stressed out and I'm not taking on a lot right now, but I definately feel better like this other than staying at home just doing nothing.

    So yeah, unless I feel very sick, I'm not going to skip on work. Good thing I have loads of fun with what I do heh? =)

    Every time this thread is bumped I check my balls. Great to hear you're still doing OK and that there's a clear path for you.

    Hehehehe, keep checking those balls man!

    Just a small update, I'm nearly done with the first round of chemo. Must say I'm not in my best shape, but then noone was expecting me to anyway. I spend around 3 hours a day in the clinic taking the meds. I mainly spend that time reading and watching TV comfortably in a chair with my servan... nurses assisting in whatever I want, pretty spiffy if you ask me.

    As for work I've been going to the studio everyday helping with the prototypes we are making for another work for hire, but the GDD part I'm really lacking behind. Sitting in front of the PC typing and drawing gives me a bit of nausea, so my efficency dropped significantly and stuff that should take me a few days is taking a whole week to get done... I'm really not trying to stress over the fact that there's noone else to do these things in there, and I know that the project as a whole will suffer greatly from it, but what can I do right? Man gotta get better, fuck the police!

    I can't wait to get to the point of shaving my head though. I'm purposedly letting my hair and beard get to "distressed" status, a few more days and I should look like a total maniac.

    And then:

    Dude, I've seen the amount of hair that grows on you. there is no way in hell chemo will get the best of that. You are a bear, and chemo is going to run away scared.
