Good for you.

My dad was diagnosed in 2018, given 3 months at best. It took me 5 days to get back to the states to see him, spent the entire day in the hospital with him, which mainly involved him staring into space for 12 hours. 2 hours after i left, he went into a coma. It was 9 days between finding the cancer, and him dying. 14 months later, my dads older brother....also diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He made it exactly three months, though given this was at the start of covid we suspect that played a role. Between the two of them dying, i ended up in the hospital for two weeks, due to a gallstone that nearly ruptured my gallbladder...which is almost certainly going to result in me continuing the pancreatic cancer trend for men in my family.

Whipple...fukn A...You survived, 50% complication rate, 50% death... damn....

My grandma who raised me died of pancreatic cancer in 1992. At 53 yoThey only found bcuz she fell on ice and broke 2 ribs. They gave her 4 months and dies exactly 4 mo later. Even tho she went thru horrible chemo. I wish there was better testing back then an treatment.but I am so happy that you survived and more people are surviving this horrible cancer.

I'm another pancreatic cancer survivor who went to MD Anderson 8 years ago. I'm certain I would have died if I had stayed at the local hospital.

This one makes me think of a man who was struck by lightning seven times.

Only 2 explosions, but I'll raise you the following:3 aircraft crashes, poison gas, fire, toxic chemical spill, caustic chemical spill, previously unknown infection similar to ebola, stroke, disturbed coworker with a knife, trapped in snow bank for a full day, wolf, and a discharged bullet (but NOT from a firearm, long story).

yeah most people don't make it through the first blast. Lost an acquaintance a few weeks ago while trying to demine a farmers field after that f******d russians mined it.

I guess the onlyfans are looking for more bang for the buck.

Did you buy a lottery ticket? ....

This is cool!

This would be particularly useful in conversations with Trump supporters.

Witch! Jk. I have a book written at the height of the 80s satanic panic about backwards recordings and it says one of the symptoms of possession by Satan through rock music is talking backwards.🤣 The book is a riot.

Please listen to Stairway to Heaven and tell us if it commands us to worship Satan.

I can barely speak forwards. I'm getting better at blankly staring, though, so not all's lost.

did the same with a tiny dwarf hamster, he got hit with a shot {my bro hated that it was going to him and threw it} and i used my pinky to press on his lil chest, since i was learning to be a vet i knew hoe to work its lil body, and it came back, He lived another 3 years

Awe. Thank you for saving the kee-kee

OP is a hero! Yay!

Oh yes I did CPR on my sister’s dog after it jumped over the fence with its leash on. The dog went from no pulse, that I could detect, to jumping around and barking within an hour

I saved a beetle with cpr and it actually worked

Cool - I'll let my Dad know. He's been an arborist for almost as long :)

We had an arborist trimming trees in my yard yesterday. It was fascinating to watch him up there. Funny enough I remarked "that's probably a job you don't do anymore once you reach a certain age". Looks like seriously hard work!

Good for you and the environment.

I thinks that you are in an even smaller percentage than that!

Great that you're so happy in your career that you never wanted to leave and branch out into another pursuit. We should all be happy fir you.

I was also dx’d in 2008. It took about 5 years to find a treatment that worked for me. My last MRI showed it’s progressed quite a bit, but I’m thankfully asymptomatic and able to keep working full-time and have a good quality of life. I am so grateful for Rituximab.

Early medication has shown evidence to slow the disease progression, and there will be much more cases like this in the future, as MS drugs become more and more effective.

Horrible disease my BIL had it for many years and could only move his head, my sister had to do everything for him until he lost the battle

A friend of mine ended his life supscription after he learned that he had MS, several years ago. I am still verry sad about it.

I am very happy for you. But, I don't know it is luck. Accept the blessing and thank God

ohh, one of my friends has this combination, she's so lovely

My 2 cousins were born incredibly cool "colored", so to speak. We're native American, partly. Their mother was auburn haired, their dad, my uncle, had jet black hair and eyes, just like my dad and most of the rest of us. Anyway, my one cousin was born with FIRE red hair, not orange, not auburn brown, like firetruck red, coupled with coal black eyes. Her sister was born with jet black hair, and pale silver gray eyes. Always blew my mind. So very beautiful! They both grew up gorgeous of course!

so beautiful

Huh?? I’ve had so many friends with this exact combo. Is it really that rare?

I didn’t realise the % was so low. I gave birth to two of them.

I have 2 cousins with this condition (they're sisters, so it may be genetic). Both had appendicitis and had a hell of a time convincing the doctors what was wrong because the pain was on the wrong side of the body!
