The oncologist gave me some choices, all bad
   
So, this cancer is an extremely aggressive second primary tumor that has already crossed the midline of the tongue. If I want to live more than about nine more months, I will need to have at least 60% of my tongue removed, a bunch of lymph nodes out, and probably at least part of my jaw removed. They can reconstruct part of the tongue with a chest-flap muscle, but speech is likely to be extremely impaired and of course I won't be able to taste anything anymore. (This probably ends my political career.) I'll need a trach to breathe through and a PEG tube to eat through.

I forgot to ask what my odds/projected lifespan is if I get the surgery done.

If I opt not to go through the surgery, I will live about six to nine months, and the worst part is during the last stage I will smell so bad that no one will be able to stand being around me and the pain will eventually be uncontrollable. This is a fate that will eventually happen to me anyway, since even with the surgery the odds of eventual recurrence of this kind of aggressive oral cancer are very high.

I brought UncleSepp's mom, who is a trained oncology patient care tech/CNA, with me to the appointment, and she said it is one of the worst gut-punch diagnoses she's ever heard. I've been staying with her and Sepp is coming down from Seattle to stay here with me through this, too. I am so amazingly lucky and grateful to have friends like this.

Still undecided about my course of action.

Tucker

I will pray for you.

Stay away from DU. There's no good can come from it. Establish a relationship with God. He will listen. Not for recovery but for salvation.

In the end, it's all we can hope for.

I think it's foolish to take seriously anything posted at the DUmp.

DUmmies lie, all the time. They are, almost without exception, pathological liars.

I can't imagine anyone lying about a serious illness, and if by chance someone did they really need our Prayers.

I believe that the Lord Hinself said something about praying for our enemies, GOBUCKS.  If it is a farce, then said person will have to reconcile that with God.  I, too, have just prayed for this person.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

I'm a bad person.

Pray-for-the-DUmmy threads always make me want to puke.

There are so many other things more deserving of prayer.

I don't even send DUmmies a picture of my hands.

You have to separate the politics from the person. If there's a natural disaster in your neighborhood and people are hurt, you're not going to say are you a Republican or a Democrat before you help them. Like it or not, 1 thing we have in common with the left is a passion for politics, oh and also both groups get annoyed at the fence sitting moderates who can never make up their minds LOL.

This OP was a first for me.

While reading it, something struck me as genuine fear in her writings. I sense that she is telling the truth. Hence my advise to get the hell away from the dUmp.

Don't care what their political thought is.

Who knows whether this story is true, or just another made for DU drama mini series?
However I will extend well wishes, thoughts and prayers just in case she is being truthful.

Or another way to look at it.  DUmmy AlienGirl supports abortion and therefore supports murder.  She would gladly murder a helpless baby and who knows, maybe she already has.  Do we really care if a murderer or someone who ardently supports murder dies?

Maybe, but I dunno.  She makes it sound like her appearance etc... would make it difficult for her to run for office, or whatever it was that encompassed this "political career" that now has to probably end.  I just wonder if anyone ever heard her mention maybe running for City Council or dog catcher, and now that dream will be less likely to take place.

Don't know.
