Why don't you feel sorry for all of those cancer cells in you, who are presently getting their ASSES kicked by chemo and shit? Man, selfish much? Seriously, sorry you're stuck there, and that you're probably not even in the mood to make things awkward for any female medical staff.

Now taking Eliquis (blood thinner) and Toprol (lowers heart rate and blood pressure) and will likely need to take them for the rest of my life. C'est la vie. Beats the alternative.

If they can’t figure out why you have pulmonary embolisms (i.e., what “provoked” it), you wind up like me - having to take Eliquis for the rest of my life. My Onc thinks I had Delta variant Covid, because I had a slight fever about eight days before my MRI showing all my PEs - but since I was never covid tested at the time, it’s blood thinners forever. When I questioned continuing to take it, my doctor told me that 40% of pulmonary embolisms are found on autopsy. Fuck. Eliquis it is then.

My Onc said it is the cancer itself that likely induced the clots. Did ultrasounds of my legs and nothing there. Neurologist just said better to take the Eliquis and deal with it. Lots of fun cutting yourself shaving and having it bleed for 30 minutes.
July 18Jul 18 I take Eliquis twice a day and Plavix once in the morning - lifetime. Started shaving with an electric Norelco.
July 19Jul 19 Pretty sweet view Negged. Thought it was gonna be a pic of some gal bending over to adjust your IV.
July 19Jul 19 Popular Post Had my post surgery appt and initial oncologist appt this week. Pathology confirmed that it is T2 (stage 2 Seminoma testicular cancer). Doctor said this is one of the more favorable outcomes. To deal with a lymph node spot, I’m doing 4 rounds of EP chemo, starting 7/28. Will get a port put in this upcoming week.If all goes well, I’ll hopefully be done with this about a week before TX/OU.

I felt something weird on my nuts last weekend, got a doc appt immediately, had an ultrasound/blood work…yada yada yada I’m having surgery on Wednesday. Doing a CT and Xray on Monday to see if it has spread anywhere/any other action needed. On the bright side, I think I caught it early - aside from me calling as soon as I noticed it, I had a vasectomy in March and the doc definitely would have noticed anything abnormal based on the attention my nuts got. I’m feeling positive that I got the “best” one to get, but throw some good vibes my way. how did you understand the thai tranny 'masseuse' telling you your balls looked weird ?

July 20Jul 20 Breast cancer has entered the chat at my house. Stage 0 but nevertheless. Wife went through it. Stage 0. They caught it after her very first mammogram. It was more of an inconvenience and pain in the ass than anything. Cost her a right boob and nipple. Gained her a lift on the left and a fake boob on the right. We were at Methodist in Sugar Land for everything.

I’m expecting a lumpectomy and some radiation and get on with life, but all I know is what I’ve read on the internet so far. Appointment with an oncology surgeon this week.
July 20Jul 20 Just slapped the Zio monitor on. The first few cycles of chemo had me fooled thinking it would be easy. Fucking shit has me thinking it will kill me before the cancer has a chance to do it.

July 21Jul 21 Surprised that a mastectomy was done. I’m expecting a lumpectomy and some radiation and get on with life, but all I know is what I’ve read on the internet so far. Appointment with an oncology surgeon this week. She opted for it. She didn’t want to take any chances and it was only the one side. She also did the genetic testing and that came back negative, so keeping lefty was fine. Her right one betrayed her and had to go. Feel free to message me if you’d like. I’m happy to share.

It's from Princeton, an hospital on the west side of Birmingham between an avenue known for murder/robberies-gone-wrong, and a McDonalds where randos will emerge through the shrubbery and then it's Wild West. If you hold it up to your ear like a sea shell, you can hear gun shots.

Or maybe they offered it after my liver resection surgery and my wife told them no. It’s awesome to get requests from the M.D. Anderson foundation for donations while you still have a five-figure balance that gets $3000 added to it every quarter when you go in for an MRI. Now I want the cup they owe me.
