Here’s something to occupy your brains in the torturous absence of the World Cup:
I just got the official news that I’ve most likely got less than a year to live!
I’m serious! It sounds like a joke, but it’s not.
I had melanoma of the eye in 2010, and the tumor itself was killed by radiation; however, there must have been some rogue cells in the bloodstream that went undetected, because now, eight years later, they’ve metastasized to my liver.
There is some effective treatment for stage IV melanoma of the skin, but none for ocular melanoma.
I started a separate thread about it here on the Newcomers’ forum called “A Different Path.”
I don’t want to hijack this thread with it, so please feel free to take the discussion over there.
I’m fine emotionally—I still feel fine physically, too.
Keep me in your thoughts and prayers! I’ll be hanging around SR as usual till I can’t do it anymore.
It seems totally unreal!
