I found out I have cancer

[PoyeBoy]

I dont even know where to start......

My hand has been having this wierd pain lately, kind of like a dull, tender pain, it also feels sort of pressurized, very hard to describe.

So I went to the doctor, After a while of examining it he said he could not find anything wrong, but I insisted there was. So he said "lets go to radiology and check it out." So they proceed to take x-rays of my hand and such.

The doc sits me down and in a wierd monotone voice says "Im sorry but you have rare inoperable malignant fibero-sistic tumor in your left carpral vessele"

I said what does that mean, he then said "Im sorry but you have cancer of the fist"

WHAT THE FUCK? cancer of the fist?

He said that they can remove the "vessele" that runs through my hand and wrist, rendering my hand almost useless forever, or they can leave it alone monitor it and see if it regresses or stays the same size.

Fuck I dont want to be a gimp....

So is surgery your only option?

Ouch, sorry to read about this. I hope it doesn't get worse and the surgery won't be needed.

 

[buddy28]

oh no. Im sorry man.

tough call poyeboy. Find out if that particular cancer is likely to metastasize, or spread.

If it is, then i guess its pretty clear what kind of options ur looking at.

That sucks dude... how the hell does that work by servering a "vessel?" damn... will it affect grip, or just everything about your hand?

Man, shit like this pisses me off... is there any other type of therapy? I'd be hitting the bricks... either with my fists, or by calling doctors getting opinions.

damn dude sorry to hear about that... and as citrus said look around for as many options and opinions as you can get.

 

[fistfullofsteel]

get on the internet and do a seach about it. find out where the best doctors in the USA are that specialize in it, and your insurance should cover it if you get a referral. well, at least i hope they do.

i think you should definitely get a second or even third opinion asap.
