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.

Hi Satan (lol)

I was diagnosed three years ago with stage three kidney cancer. I lost my left kidney and adrenal gland. In September 2024 spread to my liver so I’ve been routinely having them ablated and I live a perfectly normal life stage four .

My advice to you, my friend is don’t go to the oncologist because he’s close to your house. Find out who specializes in what you have and if you have the means, get there or get to the second best. Get the best most experienced centers.

I wish you strength on this journey.

My advice to you, my friend is don’t go to the oncologist because he’s close to your house. Find out who specializes in what you have and if you have the means, get there or get to the second best. Get the best most experienced centers. Lastly, be patient. People and hospitals , friends and family will shock you both good and bad on your journey. It’s not personal. They are humans

I wish you strength on this journey.
