Nice flag there man.In fairness anyone posting here is in context of AC, simracing.
We all know outside of that there are terrible things happening, very terrible things.
On here we talk about AC, we shouldn't feel guilt for that, or indeed feel like because we enjoy sim racing, gaming, we don't care about the bigger picture.
Just wanted to clarify that much. We all need an escape right? From lifes tribulations and general World troubles, corruption and greed.
Doesn't mean outside of here or sat infront of our rigs we don't care about anything else....
Even if we choose to moan about wipers not clearing a pixelated screen properly in an AC thread on a gaming forum...
All the best mate!Hey Paulo, I appreciate the response - and thank you to everyone else that has wished me luck, it means a lot!
I have a feeling I'll be in a somewhat similar situation for most of my treatment sadly. They have told me that my cancer has a 80-90% survival rate even though it's classed as a stage 4 cancer, as at this stage it looks like it's Hodgkin's Lymphoma, so I may still be one of the lucky ones. I'm currently waiting on a biopsy to confirm this, and have a PET-CT scan booked on Monday, then I'll be rushed back into hospital. However my spine is fractured in 3 places (lots of morphine for that one), with multiple bone spurs and lesions to my organs, so it seems like I'm going to need some sort of work done to repair all of that once the chemo goes through. This whole cancer was only discovered as I pushed for an MRI after breaking the cartilage attaching my ribs to my Sternum while walking my dog. Talk about kind of lucky, but incredibly painful to have all of this at once. Who would have thought that I'd be like this at 27 haha, every time I see a new doctor/nurse they always comment on how young I am.
They have warned me that the particular type of chemo I'll probably be going through for the first stage is probably 2-3 months of some of the most debilitating stuff you can go through, the specific treatment they have mentioned is named ESC BEACOPP. Apparently every letter stands for another drug that I'll be taking, yay. I have a feeling I'll be in a very similar mental state, but I'm a fighter and I'm going to make sure I'm prepared to get any positivity in any way that I can.
I'm glad you made it through to where you are now! If you need to speak about your experience or your recovery to someone that will probably understand it (soon) a bit more than the average person you're always welcome to reach out to me. The same goes for anyone else here. I'll probably be too unwell to respond quickly at all, but I'll do my best to help anyone whenever I can (Hell, they told me my spine was fractured in 3 places and I went back to work immediately after cause I didn't want to let my team down).
