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.

Thank you! I am very sorry you're going through this, and I share your frustrations.

Did they mention what possible treatments are an option? This will be a battle unlike anything you and your family (partner) have been through. I keep most of it in not to bother those around me which is NOT the thing to do ... but all I kept hearing is you can do it and got tired of that.

Just know it's just begun, and your not totally screwed, I hope there will be some good treatment options and you get to ring that bell 🔔
