Venting I have cancer... it's bad

[VogonPoetry]

Just making this post to get a few things off my chest. A couple of weeks ago, an MRI found a 2cm tumor in my thalamus. PET scan revealed it's an inoperable brain cancer. At this stage were still waiting on the lab results to work out exactly what it is. We know though that its either an embryoma or a high-grade glioma. Either way my prognosis is not good. chances are I wont be around in 2 years even with treatment. I have a genetic disorder called CMMRD which is likely the culprit for me developing this cancer. I knew this would happen eventually, it just really sucks now because I was actually starting to get my life on track. I'm feeling scared about whats to come and just really sad. Thats all I have to say right now.

With a terminal disease like that you can get euthanasia in Belgium, even as a foreigner.

I think it's Switzerland. Belgium doesn't accept foreigners.

I am sorry to hear this. What is the probability of getting it cured ? If you want to live , I hope you conquer it. There have been miracles. Don't focus on time left. Please focus on treatment.

Euthanasia options are available where I am but only for those who are suffering terribly from their illness. I think palliative care would be a better option for me, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. The 5 year SR of high grade brain tumors is only 5%, even with radiation and chemo. I'm still going to explore all the treatment options I can. Thank fuck i have health insurance

I really appreciate you message, thank you :)

Thank you! I have some marijuana oil already but I haven't needed to use it yet. I'll check out that group

Seeing as you were telling us that you finally were seeing hope just within your grasp, and that small sliver of happiness stomped out unwillingly. I cannot comprehend how god awful this feels, I don't have much of a similar experience to say, but reading this made me tear up a bit.

I hope in some way you conquer this mountain and get back on track living your best life, please stay well

 

[My_name_is_Luka]

I'm very sorry for that.. I've lost my mother to pancreatic cancer 2 years ago. She has been through the chemo briefly, until it got suspended and she waited to start a short period of palliative care.

Pegasos would accept a person with terminal illness 100%, even without the physical suffering.

I'm sorry to hear and the fear is understandable.
Even if your time may be more limited, you can still use that desire of continuing to get your life on track as your focus with whatever time there may be. We all have a limited time to work with, some longer some shorter.
And if you may become terminal there are several states now that have medical aid in dying.

 

[FuneralCry]

I'm sorry you have to suffer so unbearably, it's just so cruel and terrible to me. But anyway I wish you all the best.

 

[maynoname]

Really sorry for you even if we don't know each other.
That life is unfair. I send you all my support.

I'm Flemish (Belgian). Foreigners with a terminal illnes are accepted. I think most of them come from France. However, euthanasia in case of unbearable mental suffering is not possible if you're not Belgian.

Oh ok. Do they accept people outside of EU ? Yes, I guess for mental suffering, no where in the world Euthanasia is allowed. Belgium atleast acknowledges depression and allows peaceful exit .

In 2013 110 foreigners were euthanised, mainly from France 101). The others came from Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, England, Italy and South -Korea. So yes, people outside the EU are accepted.

Ok. Thanks for the info!

Hey if you wanna talk my DMS are always open. There isn't obviously anything we can say here to make it better And I'm sorry you're going through suffering. Death comes for us all and what you're going through will happen to every single other person on this forum, The only difference is some people don't get advanced warning.

If you have any strength left and you're still healthy to move around don't let this defeat you. For however long you're able to be healthy Enough to be able to move around make those the best days of your life. Make a bucket list and do everything you want to do.

Sorry, that should be 2023.

I am sorry you're going through this. I'll pray for your speedy recovery!!
Please don't focus on statistics, each person responds differently to treatment and I am positive that you'll be able to fight this

 

[Worndown]

I got the cancer diagnosis and so far am winning.
Then a brain tumor...again winning.
It totally messed up.my life, but I am doing as ok as possible.
If this is a two year proposition for you, you can die now or figure out how to best spend that time. Plus, you might last longer.
If it starts to go bad, you always the option to check out early. No need to rush.
It is good to contemplate your exit options now while you are fairly healthy. Whatever you choose and secured can just wait in case you need it.
PM if you need to chat. (posr more to get access)

I will say what a few people are being very polite in not saying. I want to be empathetic to the op as well.

First, I am sorry for your situation, @VogonPoetry . It is so typical of this universe:

- Someone is, I presume, suicidal.
- They get their life back on track
- They are terminally ill.

Meanwhile:

- Others want to die badly without the guilt of suiciding
- They will live for 80 or 90 years in pain

It's a SICK, CRUEL JOKE, this world. There are so many Gazan kids who should have lived, whereas I'm here just to exist, rot and be depressed. Yet my existence is guaranteed. It's almost slapstick, this universe.

 

[tiredandafraid]

I'm very sorry you're going through this. Life is one big roller coaster. Highs and lows we all have to go through. Cancer is scary and I really wish it didn't exist.

I'm really sorry that is happening to you. That's brutal. I wish you all the best. Have you figured out a treatment plan? I know the BBB makes treatment difficult and less effective then other cancers.
