Patient Just got diagnosed

This weekend was absolute chaos and clusterfuck. I went to the ER on Saturday for what I thought was a persistent stomach bug.

After a CAT scan of my stomach and a battery of tests this weekend, I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer.

They did a biopsy Sunday, to see if they can determine where the cancer is coming from.

I also have another CAT scan coming up to see if it has expanded into my chest and lungs.

I really have no idea what I'm looking for, I'm still trying to process all this.

Also, I am a Satanist for a reason, so please save all the "just give it to God" or etc bc it's not something I personally believe in.

Hey - I don’t care if you worship an anteater - you still have hope. Be brave. Keep on the things the doctors told you to do. This is much scarier than my diagnosis.

But - medicine is otherworldly now. I had my cancer killed with radiation and then got a transplant.

I saw a link earlier. Jerry Jones beat cancer. Stage 4 with an experimental drug or treatment. You’ll have some options. And I’ll pray to the man in the moon that it works for you.

I have no issue with prayer, I just don't like it when people get pushy about it and they say shit like "Jesus is your only hope!"

Also, thank you for the support and encouragement, it is much appreciated!
