REX asks: more time left vs shorter but better time?
13 years ago
I know theses posts can be a bummer. I'm not offended if they're skipped.
I chose to stop one of my treatments. This one in particular is supposed to slow growth and thus delay the inevitable, giving you another six months maybe, if you're in that position. I Quit it because I believe it to be causing my left side paralysis, among other things.A few extra months like this aren't worth much.
Which would you choose?
I'm continuing my other chemo, and we'll see where it goes. Options are dwindling, but they're not exhausted yet.
We all have to go sometime. You may read or hear about things like this Maybe you try and imagine yourself in such a way. It all serves as a reminder of our own mortality. So I don't blame anyone for not wanting to talk about it or read about it.
Yes, one day my posts here may stop without warning. The universe will carry on. It really will be alright.
Meanwhile I keep on fighting. So don't mistake my aforementioned choice as me giving up.
Don't worry, my friends. Be happy.

IKnow that I sill have plenty of fight left in me, buddy. Just remember it's still your job to bring out the orc in us.
*hugs you tightly* I miss chatting with you.
Not that I doubt that the world turns into a bleaker place with every good person's passing.
Whenever the medical field crows about lengthening the human lifespan, I always reflect that the question shouldn't be "how much longer will I live", but rather "will it be worth it".
Stay strong, Evo. You're in my thoughts.
This is very heartwrenching.
Yes, we all know the world will continue to revolve on its axis, but when good people, the bright lights go out..
I'm not like you. I've not the courage to face my time when it comes. I'm far too afraid of death. If I had a means to prolong my life, I'd take it, and try to make the best of my life therein.
When my time grows short, as yours unfortunately has become... perhaps that will change. I commend, and envy, your courage. Your acceptance. It couldn't have been easy to come by.
...
All the best to you.
Best of luck.
But just try be strong, do the best you can.
I do Missed a lot to talk to you like before.
Despite all the odds, I HOPE we'll be able to see you up and well.
Imminent? I'm thinking I should clarify things a bit in a follow up post. really death is imminent for all of us. My brother was struck down crossing the street I do take some comfort in knowing he never saw it coming.In your life you have some trouble. When you worry you make it double. don't worry. Be happy!
I am so sorry that this is happening to you. I wish there was something I could do to help you with what you are dealing with but I wouldn't even know where to begin there, and that makes me all the sadder.
I will pray that something finally works for you. I recently lost two co-workers to cancer. It's a terrible thing. I am that much more amazed by the strength you show in your words here.
Keep your gloves up, Dude!
Don't stop fighting!
Keep in touch and enjoy yourself
I remember years ago when you closed your furnation website with the goforward wav file. Shortly after that you posted an April Fools note and then later something in kanji that I could only assume meant the same thing. After a few years I figured you weren't coming back. I looked everywhere for you, and even went so far as to ask Ashbearfox if he had herd from you. And then one day I found you on some video game forum. I was so excited. ^^
I don't want to have to someday say goodbye to you. I saved that goforward file so long ago and I guess I held onto it for sentimental value. As silly as it seems, back then I'd listen to it and keep hope that you would return. If nothing else, I'll keep it with me still.
Well don't worry, it is NOT time for good bye again. I still have plenty of fight left in me.
