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.

I went through something very similar in December. Whirlwind ER visit to Stage 4 terminally ill very quickly. I’m still here. 8 months later I’m still trying to make sense of my disease and my miraculous recovery. My suggestion is just plod along an hour at a time and don’t try to figure anything out. It’s gonna suck real bad at times. Some not so much. Just keep hanging on.

There is always a chance. I was in real bad shape until I wasn’t. Don’t give up.
