Here’s a feel good story for you Pekka…
John Hartson's relief at cancer news
Now, I know you don’t have full-scale cancer throughout your body or anything, but I seriously thought this guy was a goner when I first heard about his condition back in July..
BTW, have you checked your balls lately?

Apparently he did.Originally posted by Boris Godunov View PostChristianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Good luck Pekka, you're the only good thing about Apolyton (apart from that rugby thread in the sports bit)

Pekka:
I know we don't interact that much on the forums but, FWIW, I want you to hang tough and think positive.
And know this: You're *never* alone. Never. It might seem like it sometimes, but you're not. Never, ever.

Yeah I'm not alone. I don't feel too alone either, because my gf is also hanging tough with me. It keeps my spirits up. It also lets me plant my feet on the ground, you know, and realize that it isn't so bad. It could be a lot worse. I'm lucky. And a happy tax payer
Of course it's f'ng karma, you bash the whole tax scheme and how you never have to use any of the services and then you get a tumor in your head. Not only were the staff professional, they were top notch. I'm very fortunate with everything, since I'm under 30 (meaning to say I'm young), the decisions the chief of hospital (don't know the english term) makes is in my favor. So they sent all kinds of folks for something that they don't send for people with cancerous tumor, if they're old and non-prioritized.
Do I feel lucky? Yes. It is likely that I will be fine. It is likely that I will make a full recovery. You never know, but it is likely. As a result, I can't drink alcohol or drive a car for a long time, both which I can give up easily as I don't drink that much anyway and I live in a city. It'll leave a scar in my head, it's not a big deal.
But let me tell you, there's nothing like waiting for results, as in "you have either a) structural problem in your head that blood leaks (life threatning, not-so-fixable), b) cancerous tumor (life threatning, might-be-fixable, talking about odds), or c) tumor that is not cancerous (likely easy to fix, leaves a scar)." So I waited for this result for almost 24 hours. The longest 24 hours in my life. But even so, I was ready to do what it takes. I was thinking OK so if it's cancer, then we start chemo, I'll just shave my head in advance and hang tough. I'll be puking, I'll be really sick, but I'll make it. We'll stop it from advancing, see if it can be operated, and then it will be controlled for some years, hopefully a decade, and maybe advancements in science will be made.
For this one? I mean come on, it's not even the same story. It's still scary. I still think about it all the time. But I'm OK. And hey, perhaps the blood flow will increase and I will become like super smart or something. You never know. Or maybe I'll get a tuber.In da butt.

So it is settled. The date for the operation is 12th of Jan. I'm glad. In one month, I will have beaten this bastard. I will wake up, and basically have a new chance at everything. I'm much more positive these days. And I'm in no hurry. Why hurry? There's lots to life, and if you are hurry all the time, you're just wasting it anyway. Stop and smell my armpits.In da butt.

We should rename the 12th to Supercitizen Day.
