Just got diagnosed

[u/TheEvilSatanist]

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.

Another one I've seen is "do not resuscitate" or DNR - something different than just a heart issue. I'd rather not be kept in a coma for months/years, given that my life is utterly useless to me at that point and could well be very painful both mentally and physically.

My mom knows I don’t want that already. I’m fine to a point, but definitely not past that. Someone else close knows too, in case by some rare chance my mom passes first. And would let my Dad/sister know. My mom’s my POA though.

I’m sorry to hear you feel that way about your life, but even as a stranger, I certainly don’t want it to be painful to you either.

I meant it's useless "at that point" that I'm in a coma. Thanks, though for not telling me my life is better than that and just accepting whta you thought I said.

Oh okay. And you’re welcome. It’s not my place to tell you how to feel about your own life. But I am thankful to hear I was interpreting it wrong.

It’s not my place to tell you how to feel about your own life

It's the first time anyone's ever said that to me. Usually they violate that - law I'd call it. Truly, thanks. :)
