#1084760 On Your Last Legs

Posted by ToroRojo on 02 October 2011 - 07:24 PM in The Shizz General Forum

Eh...I dunno about sharing this here.

But I've got The Cancer. I have tumor in my spinal cord at the T-11/12 level. I had a surgery about a year and a half ago. I had to learn how to walk again due to damage done by the tumor and surgery. I underwent radiation treatment. After about a year, I was basically as back to normal as I was going to get. I would always have a limp. I would always need a cane for long distance walks. I wouldn't run or jump again. But I was riding my bike with the help of clip in pedals. I could still play drums although some kick patterns weren't doable. And then everything fell apart in the span of about 2 weeks. The tumor came back in a more aggressive form. I had a second surgery exactly 2 months ago. Learned to walk again. Just finished my second round of chemo on friday (1st round wasn't bad, 2nd round made me sleep all weekend and my appetite is all messed up).

The neurosurgeons have offered me what can only be likened to a deal with the devil. Basically, the tumor will come back again and it will continue to be more aggressive. It will eventually kill me. As an alternate, radical approach, the surgeons can completely remove my spinal cord where the tumor exists (that's the short of it, it's a little more involved than that). In exchange for the use of my lower body, I get a decent chance at a cure (not a guarantee).

I have accepted the surgery. The morning of October 13 is the last time I will ever walk.

Say you had two weeks until you are paralyzed from the waist down. What would be on your list of things to do prior to that event?

Keep in mind that you are already have significant problems with your legs (going on a hike means walking from the car to the trailhead, taking a break, and walking back to the car).

You also have a dentist appointment at 2pm on Oct. 8th, so you gotta stay in town for that.
