This isn't something trivial brah...This is your mortality...This is your life, and the people who love you aren't going to switch up because you need a "shoulder to cry on". You're going through a lot, and it's perfectly normal for you to feel all the feelings that you are feeling. Sometimes getting chit off your chest, is the best temporary medicine.

Yesterday I was holding my wife thinking she might not get to experience me holding her too much longer.
It sucks to go from super fit and healthy to beaten down. I hope we make it brah. I've started getting visions of heaven and it's truly amazing, but I really don't want to leave my wife behind. Cancer sucks.

Gf and I were talking and she mentioned it's sad that were most likely not going to be able to grow old with each other.
Sorry for you man. I can honestly feel your pain.

I feel pretty good most days. Message me if you need someone to talk to that can relate.So. Its 2/28/19
Had an appointment with my dr Tuesday and he said the ultimate end goal is to attempt to get me into remission in order to do a bone marrow transplant.
I have two older brothers so they are a potential match. Was really shocked at the plan bc hes been against a BMT the last 2 years.
Says it's my only realistic shot rn at a durable remission and life span.
Hate the idea. Bmt has a 40% mortality rate.
To add onto the **** news, my insurance lapsed 1month from when I switched Obamacare to my work insurance and my medical bill from that is over 45k.
Unreal. Add it to the 50k+ plus already going to collections.
I literally had the perfect life before this cancer ****. Now I have "a" life.
Seems like everything is starting to stack against me and it's really hard to stay positive. I've called out a work the last day and have barely got off the couch. Have zero motivation for the gym.
And I literally can't stand the way I look when I look into a mirror. Some days it makes me ****ing cry. I cant stand to look at.my.own avatar on here bc I'll never look that good ever again.
I'm basically demoralized and defeated. So tired of all of this
This is a cancer that 95% of people get cured from, so why is it me in that 5%
I can never let my family or gf find out this is how I really feel.

Also contact whoever the bills are coming from, and they will work with you. I got my balance lowered. Had to fill out a few forms.

I can understand in a sense not wanting to burden your family and GF, but you really should be honest about your feelings on this with them. I promise you, they want to know, even if it's hard for them. We are socially trained to put our best face forward, but you can't be strong 100% of the time. Let the people who love you take some of the weight of your feelings.

Cot dam it all!
I wholeheartedly agree with the go fund me account to help pay your medical bills. I don't know about you or your beliefs but I am a 100% believer in Christ. I will pray for you brother. Maybe you can shoot me a PM to give me your name if you're comfortable enough to do that. It helps to know who I'm praying for by name.
We're all a bunch or goofballs/trolls/arseholes but we're all rooting for you brah.

I've never been 1 to ask people for help, ive always been extremely independant. Even in my situation now, i still dont feel comfortable swallowing my pride and asking for help. Which is ironic bc I convinced a co-worker to start a go-fund me for her neurological issues/doctors bills, and I donated $75 into it. Like wtf am i doing?
to add more bull****. A co-worker texted me asking if could come early, so she could leave bc she has some issues going on (shes pregnant).

There are plenty of people here who would like to at least try to help in any small way we can.

If one registers, is there a way that they can tell the registry that there is somebody specific they want to donate to?
If so, I am happy to test for OP and give if possible.

Just registered also. OP, if you don't feel comfortable speaking to your gf or family about how you're feeling take Red's advice about a therapist. It may really help so you don't have to feel like can't share with anyone...besides the misc of course.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who replied earlier.
I'm leaving work now and it just makes me thankful that I could vent my frustrations here while remaining anonymous to an extent. And receive nothing but support.
When I joined the misc as a chubby 16yr old I never imagined how much of a personal connection I would have to this place

Hey,
It's been a while since I checked in on this thread but I saw your post about bills. Have you spoken with an accountant about deducting your paid bills from your taxes? It's not much but it's something.
Also, the literature is iffy but can people in remission from other cancers (non-heme) be donors themselves?

Cancer ****ing sucks, man, but don't give up on yourself. Don't listen to bullchit and just take it day by day. Let us help you homie.
The misc is full of jokes, vulgar humor and everyone calling each other a *******, but in this thread people are offering to do the bone marrow transplant. Fuk that cuts deep brah

When I joined the misc as a chubby 16yr old I never imagined how much of a personal connection I would have to this place

Two years ago i was a cocky, selfish, self-absorbed ass.
I lost everything. My muscles, my confidence, my health, my job, my friends, my hair. All that was left was for me to put myself back together.
Now, id like to think that im somewhat of a role model to some [including coworkers]. So i try to put my best foot forward and be as positive giving and patient as possible. Ive started donating, doing charity work, just trying to help put a smile on anyones face i come across.
You never know what someone is going through. And everyone in life just wants to feel cared for and happy. Just trying to help others feel that.
Sometimes we cant control whats happening in our lives, but we can control how we treat others.
Much love. Thank you all for being with me on this journey.
God bless, and long live the misc

Dennis, if you still have a social worker around, can you get a therapist referral? Totally get not wanting to talk through these feelings with your parents or girlfriend.

Also great advice at seeing a therapist.
I'm so sorry to read your update.
I can't even fathom my son going through this. Just stay strong and try to think positive! You are in my thoughts and prayers and let us help you. We want to.~ In a world where you can be anything, be kind ~

any update OP? BMT date?
also its sad to see you talks with a "defeated" tone now... its not over untill its over, BMT is ofcourse a risky move but alot of things are. from the little i know, with remission BMT got VERY hightly chances to success. im sure you go throught very very bad times right now but its not the time to lose hope. watch the "50/50" movie to cheer up.
about the money i can really never understand this chit. wtf is wrong with america? in like 99% of the western countries you pay nothing or like max 100$/month for stuff like that. its really mind blowing how america works...
i got IBD, i take a med that cost +-45K$/year, and i pay for it +-900$/year. (insurance is like 650$/year.) i thought about studying in america but when i realized how much i will have to pay for my meds i just said fuk it....
i really hope one day america will have a good health system for non-rich people.
good luck op and keep us updated.

Mentally I'm stuck in a place where I still cant wrap my head around everything's that's happened. It hurts me so much to see my mother and gf struggle with it.
And just thinking of it makes me cry.
Easy to say "dont think about it"
But how are you supposed to sit and smile at the person you love when we're only delaying the inevitable?
Statistically, I've got an 8-30month life expectancy from here.
Why me. I was so healthy!
I feel like such a burden on my family all the time, I cant even take solace in work because if I do the BMT, I'll most likely never return to my job due to too much exposure.
My mind is all over the place. But it's only running over all the negatives.
