    It just got real. You know when the Dr personally calls you, things are not good.

    Even my body doesn’t want to admit it.... it came back suspicious- this means they assume that I have cancer.
    It started out 95% of the time it’s nothing. I fall in the 5%. I have always defied the odds, it’s just this time I wish I didn’t. LOL
    I can’t say that I really expected anything different. Mother and sister died to cancer. My father had prostate cancer and now some kind of throat cancer is believed to be going on.

    I don’t want to tell anyone. I know my wife will freak out.
    Oh boy, I don’t know if they will operate with heart flutter. Which do I take care of first? LOL

    This is just like precomp...... the emotional roller coaster. LOL

    S&D- you are handling this like no other!

    I would press pause on all your conscious thoughts until a doctor actually says in person to you, "You have cancer".

    Three of my grandparents had a stroke, and the last one died of lung cancer, but I'm not taking that as an indicator of my future. To my knowledge, neither of the four of them did much cardio, plus there's so many things that can be avoided if you just check your cholesterol and blood pressure once in a while. The one that got lung cancer was a smoker.

    I'm planning to still be doing the parkrun the year I die, which will hopefully be in the age range of about 85 - 105. I don't mind if I slow down in my last few months, but I want to be at least able to walk a month before I died. Actually it would be perfect of I could die of heart failure doing the parkrun at about 102ish.

    Gotta get your wife in the know brother, just my opinion. Even with your big ass shoulders, this a lot to carry alone. In the end, she’ll find out eventually. I didn’t tell anyone outside of my immediate family. People will ask eventually or suspect something as I’ve dropped off the face of the earth and I can’t keep the weight on despite my best efforts.

    This forum can be your haven bro, just to get shit off your chest so you don’t have to keep it bottled up. It’s helped me tremendously just to rant and I take comfort in the positive messages I get here and through PM’s...shocking the strength I’ve found here.

    As for which one first, it doesn’t really matter. You have to deal with both Charger. Meet that shit head on. Blowing it off just leaves it ahead and you’ll be bogged down in the ambiguity.

    You’ve got your hands full, I get it. I really fucking get it. You’re your own best advocate and are the only one that can get your ass to the appointments.

    Consider telling your wife, ya...she’s gonna freak. It’ll pail in comparison to the freak out if you don’t tell her.

    You know I have your 6, if you want to rap. I fucking hate when people tell me that, so I get it. However, whenever people have a monumental health fuck on their hands, I tend to feel more comfortable sharing my bullshit. Just sayin’

    We’re built for this shit Charger. Embrace the suck, running from it is futile. Head on mother fucker, plow straight ahead.

    I remember 6 years ago I was driving down the road and my phone rang, I answered it and it was my doctor. It went like this:

    Dr - Tomás
    Me - yeah?
    Dr - It's Dr Smith here
    Me - yeah?
    Dr - Are you near a hospital?
    Me - yeah, why?
    Dr - Get to ER, your liver's going to fail

    I went to ER, told them what my doctor said, they tested my liver values and my ALT came back as 2800.
