So, I thought I should update everyone since I have been getting a lot of support and DMs from you all about my little cancer journey. First, thanks tons. I have a loving family and great friends and great support in my life but honestly all of your support and sharing your comments stories and journeys with me has really made things easier, sharing stuff chemically helps. People, normalize sharing your shit. So it turned out my initial post was premature. I’m a glass half full even when it’s cracked kinda guy. It was actually much worse than we thought. I actually had stage four cancer, meaning it had spread. 😬 (for you medical nerds I had Gleason 9 that had spread to my lymph nodes with an interductal) I found all this out after the surgery. Prostate cancer is a great cancer to get if your in the market but Gleason 9 is the shitty one and the stats aren’t good. For the last 5 weeks and the next two I’ve been enduring daily radiation treatment. The monotony of going to the hospital every MF day is as bad as the treatment, it’s temporary and such a small price to pay to not die, I got this. I also got an awaited PSA test on Thursday and thank god it appears to be good news, it looks like I have no detectable cancer. Personally I’ve had a such a good full life I feel I could be ready to go anytime without a huge fuss but god damn having 3 kids and a loving wife sure makes one fight like they are drowning, I am so grateful to have them. Had I caught it 6 months later it would probably have been a different story. The Doc says I definitely got another 8-10 years and could easily have 20 or more. And there’s still a 10% or so chance I’m totally cured. I won’t know that for a couple of years. I get to raise my kids and get to make another 100 paintings and design 100 more pieces of furniture and I get to get wrinkly with my bae. Im grateful for the experience and for the technology and huge shout out to the doctors and staff who care for people for a living. I have a new lease on life and I don’t plan on wasting a minute. Life is a bonus anyways. Just gotta get through this radiation without suicide taking me down... 2 more weeks... 😊 #prostatecancer
