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.

My das was diagnosed with a cholangiocarcinoma (liver caner) + mets to his sacrum in march, they gave him 3 months on palliative care. Now 5 months and a few chemos + immunos later he had a scan and his tumor markers are in normal range and his tumor got smaller.

Stage 4 means a lot, dont give up and live like you did before, you can’t change it - make your days count, do what you love.

Also - he is taking some prozac. I ready a study (https://www.uclahealth.org/news/release/common-antidepressants-could-help-immune-system-fight-cancer) that it helps immunotherapy and it helps the family a lot that he is not sad/depressed. If you are not against it try those 🙄

I'm actually not sad or depressed at all, maybe a lil scared but that's it.
