Been there and beat it myself at 23. Chemo didn't phase me. I got sick the first time and that was it. Like having an iv the rest of the time. No sickness or anything but it still sucked. Caught mine extremely early. Beat that shite like it owes you money padnuh. That's in the past for me.

You'd be surprised how beneficial that nasal hair can be when your springtime allergies turn your sinuses into waterfalls.

You'd need to go into hiding until you could even out the tan. That scalp hasn't seen an ounce of sun probably since you left the hospital after being born.

I’ll drink to that brother keep kicking cancer’s arse! To whoever the sad, pathetic individual is that downvoted this post I truly feel sorry for you. You’re life must be absolutely miserable and you’ve obviously never had a love one have to deal with that demon disease.

I went through same thing but ended up having RPLND surgery after 4 rounds. Been clean since 2003. Keep your head up!

I’m getting a biopsy on my prostate next week. My blood levels were elevated with my check up so I had my MRI a couple days ago I’m pretty nervous. I haven’t told anyone but my wife and she’s pushing me to tell my kids ( they are grown)... I’m more nervous about that

All the best to you!
I've been told a positive attitude is helpful, I don't know, but you have one.
I have lost 4 in my family to it and have one that was diagnosed 45 days ago.
As others have said, "F" cancer in every way shape and form.
Keep us abreast of your situation if you would like.

I've basically had to stay indoors since early Feb because of the medicinal reaction to sunlight - I am as pale as a ghost right now, its so sad. Doc says I can start doing yardwork and such again next week, I'm kind of afraid to start because I'll get sunburned quick. I've lost my tan, the top of my head is super white. Its so sad looking to see the difference from last summer to this summer - I look like I've aged 20 years.
