I'm waiting to hear results from a biopsy I had Friday. If it's cancer, it's one you don't generally come back from. Been trying to prepare myself for it, but been drinking a ton instead. I haven't decided if I'll even get treatment if it is cancer to be honest. It's weird that my best friend is more upset than I am. I'm kinda ready to just let go if I'm terminal.

When are you supposed to hear back?

[–] ShunkW 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well. It wasn't good news. Stage 1 pancreatic cancer. I've decided to do treatment mainly for others than for me. I feel like this is a dream I'm gonna wake up from, but yeah...

Ugh. I’m so sorry. That’s the first one I though of too. 😢

Wow, I'm sorry. I would also like to know when you're supposed to hear back, if you feel like sharing. I feel like there's no wrong way to react to news like this, so whatever you are feeling and thinking makes sense.

I am so very sorry. I hope the treatment helps since you are choosing to do it even though it’s for others. I can’t even imagine what you’re going through right now, and I very sincerely want to give you a big hug.
