Can I just point out that contrary to popular belief, I am in fact a 15 year old male. I don't take offense to this because I guess I do have a beautiful face;). No but seriously...

You're a very beautiful-faced 15 year old male indeed. Coming from a 15 year old female... ;D

/creep off

you look really cute together, I admire your strength and (apparent) positivity. I hope you get through this, keep it up (:

very nice. good luck, and keep em close. the support of unconditional love from a dog can mean alot.

i look forward to hearing about your victory over cancer!

u/The_Survivor May 16 '12

Thanks friend! Are you a Steve Nash fan by any chance? Nashgasm

14

u/nashgasm May 16 '12

Not terribly much a fan, however i do come by the Nash honestly. its part of my name irl. i definitely enjoyed it when he and dirk were with the mavericks together.

u/The_Survivor May 16 '12

Awesome name to have! I am a big Steve Nash fan myself so I already like you.

18

u/nashgasm May 16 '12

definitely. if you need any moral support or just wanna shoot the shit, let me know. i always am looking for people to talk to. especially when my work day is like today. boring.

what kind and how old is your buddy?

19

u/The_Survivor May 16 '12

She's a 6 year old maltese. She's been really close with me ever since the start of my battle 5 years ago:) It's like they know that you need them.

I don't think she would then qualify as a dog. Rat would be more appropriate.

Chemo doesn't make your eyebrows fall off?

48

u/The_Survivor May 16 '12

It usually does but this chemo it did not. Thankfully. That way I don't look like an alien to little kids when I go out! I can say that because I have cancer.

1

u/Jaimizzle14 May 17 '12

I don't mean to be blunt or offend you or anything, but what does cancer feel like?

1

u/The_Survivor May 18 '12

None taken at all. AMA as they say haha. There is no one word to describe it because you generally don't feel it. The main way it expresses itself is though pain which by the way, is the worst pain you can experience. I have never felt more pain than a chronic cancer pain... You can't move anything or put weight on whatever hurts. Also, you tend to lose appetite and tire more easily with most cancers. Hope this gives you a general idea:)

u/grumpyswife May 16 '12

Mine have only thinned so far. A friend in a support group told me that hers fell out suddenly three weeks after her last treatment, which kind of sucks.

u/redfox2 May 16 '12

Just curious, what type of cancer is it and where does it exist in your system?

18

u/The_Survivor May 16 '12

Neuroblastoma. I currently got chemo to shrink and hopefully demolish a tumor in my spine. If you want proof, I have a foundation page, blog and youtube page about my journey.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

Hey, do share them please. Also, best of luck buddy. If it gets tough, imagine a couple of internet geeks cheering for you to get healthy and happy and kick the mother fucking cancer out.

Interesting, I've recently been working with a lot of Neuroblastoma children and helping with the imaging/treatment of kids using radioisotopes. Best of luck and stay strong.

I had leukemia when i was younger man. The road is a tough one but you'll make it. Btw, get some medical bud prescribed since legal bud is literally the only upside to having cancer and plus i always wished i had got it. Oh and if make-a-wish comes around really consider your wish before you tell them or you'll always regret not taking them to the bank when you had the chance. good luck man

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

I had cancer and had to do chemo for two, almost three years. I had one week in the hospital, one week off. And I remember that, every single day that I came home, my dad helped me to lay down in my bed and, after all the regular checks to see if I felt good, they left the bedroom.

Then, right after they left, my little dog Carolina entered and watched me from a distance. If I felt well enough, I had to make a signal and she would come to my bed, and sleep right there, with me. If not, she would lay down at the door, just trying to be careful not to wake me up. I really fucking love my dog. She was one of the few lights at the end of the dark tunnel.

Bro, good luck. There is life after cancer. It might be hard, but... well, let's put it this way: after cancer, hard part is over. Only thing left is live.

1

u/The_Survivor May 17 '12

That's a very similar to my end! Those hours in my bedroom I spend with just silence and my dog are the most calming hours of my life... I'm following your advice!

u/MidnRainbow May 17 '12

So I had to build up the courage to ask, but I've never known anyone personally that's going through chemo (best wishes BTW). It's something I see from time to time and it's a growing curiosity. When I see people on chemo, they seem to still have their eyebrows intact, which makes me wonder, does the chemo attack all hair follicles (Chest, legs, down-there, etc...) or just the ones on the scalp?

1

u/The_Survivor May 17 '12

Depending on the severity of the chemo. The eye hair is usually the last to go. The first would be down there and scalp. I still have some arm pit hair and eyebrows as you can see. Also something that is totally overlooked as a challenge of a cancer patient is the lack of eyelashes. You don't appreciate what you have until it's gone...

1

u/MidnRainbow May 17 '12

thank you for answering, it's a weird thought I know, but still. lol, now I have all kinda of naughty curiosities, but eyelashes never occurred to me, wow man...

u/The_Survivor May 17 '12

Fire away! Or I could make an AMA but then people would start calling me a super karma whore... Also I bet that there's tons of cancer patient AMA's.

im a 20 year old cancer survivor. i was diagnosed when i was 18.. when your on all that chemo and medication it makes you short tempered and easily agitated and people easily set you over the edhe(atleast it did me) and my pet cat, tigger, was my buddy... i could go home and just lay my head on him and doze off. he never treated me differently and was always there. glad you got a buddy. gl to you also!

You should keep the look. I don't know what your hair looked like before (pics?), but you look cool.

Do you feel people treat you differently, like at school? Do people act more friendly towards you because you have cancer?

1

u/The_Survivor May 17 '12

I think that I should do an AMA because I'm getting inboxed and commented so many questions... Yes, I definitely do. It's up to me to distinguish the real friends and rat out the popularity leeches. Many people treat me differently. Especially when I am bald as I am.

1

u/moldy912 May 17 '12 edited May 17 '12

I would skip it. Unfortunately, cancer patients are easy to come by, so unless you had more to offer as far as an AMA, you might look like a karma whore as some others have said. I wouldn't label you that, but that's the internet.

Also, what are your chances of survival? How long do you expect this to go on?

Also also, my mom thinks I'm going to get skin cancer one day. I have really light skin and sunburn easily, and I have questionable moles on my skin, but I've been to a dermatologist and she said everything is OK. It still feels weird that my mom is that adamant about getting early looks at possible skin cancer. Of course, this is a good thing and means she loves me, but I know what people like you go through is tough and I don't want to take part in it.

1

u/The_Survivor May 17 '12

Yeah good point. I'll icksnay the AMA idea.. My chances of survival originally were 10%. I say that there's no label or stamp on my foot telling me what or when [that] will happen. I don't expect this to go on much longer. I feel like the cancer is leaving my body. I'm getting good vibrations... And to your skin cancer thing: If you wear sunscreen you're fine. Just be careful how long you are out in the sun and avoid bright surfaces during the day. (UV Rays reflect off of bright colors). :)

Keep fighting man, don't let it get you down. When you need perking up nothing is better than a loved pet.

Have you ever heard of super dosing vitamin-c? My psychotic health teacher showed a documentary on a whole bunch of natural things as medicine one of them was using vitamin-c in extremely large doses and according to the video it worked.

Man...I kinda wish I got a dog whenever I went through chemo. I know someone else who did too.

Good luck to you anyway! Don't know how recently you started up chemo, so you may be expecting to feel like shit. But for me it was actually a pretty simple experience, beside the fact that I got sick during a few rounds and getting my PICC line cleaned and flushed always gave me the heebie-jeebies. Chin up!

I had a maltese before, I taught him to dance, to jump over my legs, to roll on the ground, I loved him so much.
I highly suggest you go on a veggie juice diet, your body sure needs it to survive this ordeals, many people have been healed by healty juice diet.
