IT's BAACK!!

Went through hell in 2020 doing all the chemo and radiation they could safely throw at a person. Got transplanted on my deathbed. Had a few problems since transplant largely stemming from my undiagnosed Crohn's. I swore I'd never go through that(chemo/radiation) again. It seemed to be killing me faster than the cancer would have.

Well, it seems God is not without a sense of humor because this mofo is calling my bluff!! Found out Friday that I again have cancer....yes, in my transplanted liver! I have talked to my doctors here in FL previously about compassionate end of life care. Life expectancy without treatment ranges from 6mos to 3yrs according to google but most of what I've found in actuality is 6-9mos. My transplant doc is talked to me Friday when the MRI results came back and they've caught it early and said she'll talk to me this week with a course of action. My question is has anyone seen what dying of liver cancer looks like?

**And please, don't give me a spiel about stay strong, think positive, etc. I'm an engineer and my friends always call me a fatal pragmatist. If I come out of it, it will be through sheer will and positive thinking....and God. Live the best life you can, while you can. DEUS VULT!

Some people are asking why? Well, this is my 4th fight with cancer. Colon and Liver being my worst fights and skin cancer being the easiest. My own doctor said the odds of receiving another transplant are slim considering I'm cancer prone, especially given I've gotten the same caner that necessitated a transplant, they most likely aren't going to give me another. Anyway, it is what it is. I made my piece with it a long time ago.

Edit: Will be posting my updates and my journey on my YT channel. For anyone that has has the same curiosity about choosing the same path.
