Oh no. That's awful news, though the doc's response is encouraging. Sending all the best wishes, FM Gramsci.

Thanks man. Weirdly this is the first and only place I’ve spoken about it. A treatment to how important this space is I guess.

So far it feels very abstract. Swinging between positivity and bouts of crying. Knowing the full picture will help.

Allow yourself the space to kinda feel whatever you need to feel. If you go to dark places, make it a quick visit and remember, there is no better time in history for this kind of thing. You will very likely be just fine in the end, with some really fucking garbagey bullshit along the way.

Sorry to hear this - been through it as many of y'all know. It's part of life, and it's one of the shittier parts of it. Wish I could do more, but I'll still be thinking about you.

Thanks man. Stuff like this really helps.

Where I live is the jackpot for this. The main Uk treatment centre is walking distance from my house and has some of the most advanced treatment in the world. If it’s treatable I'm in a good place. Still, it’s a fucking emotional rollercoaster.

Hey Gramsci,

If Doctors tell you they believe they caught it early then trust'em. I'm sure you'll be around for a few more decades.

Aguante!

+1

(apologies for piggybacking, this says exactly what I was thinking)

Hoping for the best, Gramsci.

FUCK!

You're in my thoughts Gramsci. PM me if you need. My father-in-law is now all clear of Multiple Myloma after 6(?) years of treatment, including a clinical trial that should be going into regular use soon. It makes perfect sense you would first share about it here. I shared the news on the old board the night I was diagnosed. I hope you know you have infinite support in this corner of the world.

In other news. I had my 6month MRI today. Still No Evidence of Disease. It's getting to be surreal.
