So, I have a tumor

[SpencerH]

Good luck Pekka, I wish you well.

[MrFun]

All that matters is living healthy and happy. Living with the people you love. Nothing else matters.

I wish you much fortune and health. I hope that I survive this one alive and if not 100 %, then at least some what OK. If not, I had a good ride.

Rise up, Pekka, and show this disease who is the BOSS. We want to see you recover!

[Riesstiu IV]

Pekka, you are a strong guy. You will live. You must live. Without you, the world will never know about face destroyers, naked philosophy, and using your penis as a method of divination!

That tumor has no chance, it will be destroyed. And after they remove it, you should keep it preserved in a bottle and place it in your office with a label that reads "I defeated this pathetic tumor".

[Wezil]

That tumor doesn't have a chance against Pekka.

[Pekka]

Your messages cheer me up a lot. It's amazing how when I'm alone, I start to feel a bit desperate. When I'm with my gf, I get this strong drive, very rational perspective where this thing is just a little bug to be squashed. Alone? It gets scary.

It sucks, they did all kinds of tests on me. All the values were good. They've always been good. It doesn't matter what the test is, it's always "very good". Even the damage I've done to my body, it doesn't show where it could show. Then this happens. Plus, it was all grandmas and grandpas in my ward. That felt injustice to me. But then again, I'll make it, no need to be all that jealous. Then again, it's a weird feeling of having time of life-jealousy.

Oerdin, YES. Doctors and nurses, everyone has been really good. Everything happened very fast, my gf called 911 and the ambulance was here in 7 minutes, already taking me inside the ambulance and recovering me. From there, everything was ready and waiting. Nurses all knew my name, because clearly they attend to their meetings before their shift. There was all kinds of stuff that let me know this warden at least is run by professionals, from the nurse all the way to the doctors. And most importantly, the doctor had a nice personality and would say to me "I don't know, I'll find out", stuff that makes me feel calm, as in a person who isn't full of himself or unprofessional but is more interested in taking care of the patients than his ego. This is all very important to me. I do feel like I don't need to move anywhere else to get this operation done. I am very satisfied, at least as of now, to the treatment I've been given.

[Solomwi]

Pekka, there's simply no choice other than this operation being successful. The only other possible scenario is a world overrun by whiny undergrads wielding Naomi Klein books. Nobody wants that. Good luck, and I'm glad it's not worse.

[Japher]

I don't see why Pekka can't do the surgery himself.

[Kitschum]

Kick its ass.

[Boris Godunov]

Boooo tumors

Good luck, Pekka. I'll design you a new swinging pad once you're tumor-free.

[Arrian]

Holy crap. Dude, good luck. Not that SuperCitizen needs luck...

Good luck

I wish you the best. There are no pain sensors in the brain itself. This is why you felt nothing until the seizure. In addition to conventional surgery, you might go for a biopsy, and then a gamma knife surgery (they bombard your tumor with gamma rays). I'm told gamma knife surgery is more accurate than a hand held knife and so there is less change of damaging surrounding areas.

[Wernazuma III]

Wow, I wish you all the best. Brain tumors seem to be proliferant though. I'm 30, and 4 of my friends had a brain tumor, plus 2 colleagues of my wife at work.
Good side: None of these people died because of it.

All the best, keep your head up.

[Cort Haus]

That's awful news Pekka. Glad it's not as bad as it could have been, and best wishes for a full and swift recovery.

[Docfeelgood]

GOD be with you.

[Theben]

I don't see why Pekka can't do the surgery himself.

Seriously. He has to be able to take it out himself b/c I'm pretty sure the doctors won't let him pull his penis out and beat the tumor with it while screaming "BONZAI*!!", even tho they're Finnish doctors.

Good luck dude.
