First, let me send thoughts and best wishes.

Second, when you saw that your asshole was leaking blood, why didn’t you go get it seen?

#23

So So Sorry to hear this mate. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and you will be in our prayers.

#27

Stay strong mate. I am sure the experience will only strengthen your character. I always remember Nick Leeson when I read about colon cancer.

Haven’t read his book but maybe you can accompany it with your treatment.

I’ve started to read a book about Fischer Black, he was diagnosed with throat cancer and died as a result, although I’m no where near where he was the fact that I’m studying mathematics and consider him a role model somehow helps stomach the hard fact.As a side note I met my doctor who mentioned that the size of the tumor seems to be small. Anyhow grasping the concept with death seems to have motivated me rather than depress me.

#31

So sorry to hear. You will get through this!

#32

Kudos on the positive and inspiring sentiment. Not nearly enough of it around here.

#33

This thread caught me off guard. Good luck

Ok, today I took my final Colonoscopy to indicate whatever has been happening inside my colon/rectum. Turns out I look pretty fine on that front , the colonoscopy is not conclusive though, I’d have to do a bunch of other tests to make sure things there hasn’t been any metastasis to other areas but this seems unlikely. Luckily it was a very rare and curable form of cancer , I will update this thread on the final conclusion by next week. I’ll have to wait for the visa to update the other thread.

#35

Good to hear that the colonoscopy came back fine!!! Good luck with the rest of the tests!!! yes

#36

^ Thanks man.

#37

Congrats man! Enjoy every moment of life now that you know how fragile it is!

Today the results of my tests came back, thankfully I am cured. Given the tumor was very small and of a slow growing nature the doctors concluded that it does not pose a threat to my health. It was surgically removed with some drugs on the side to control the issue. Unfortunately I panicked at the time and wasted about a week of my time to worry about things like dying and whatnot when I heard about if 3/4 months ago. The only obstacle in my life seems to be the need for changing the status of my visa and this fucking travel ban even though I don’t follow one single line of Islam or Muhammed. If my Visa is rejected I’d have to move to Canada,but sometimes starting the shit over and over again takes a toll on your soul. Really don’t know about how this shit is going to fly. Wish me luck on my Visa please.

#39

Congrats on the health front!!! yes

I hope your visa situation works out too.
