TB does not need "internet medical expert" advice. TB needs your well wishes or prayers. Any derailment consisting of "alternative medical treatments" will be moderated.

Well, I don't know if there is really a right way to tell people this, so I guess here goes. The CT did not come back negative. The cancer in the bowel is gone, but spots have appeared in my liver. They're not operable and there's no cure. Average life expectancy is 2-3 years, though there are outliers that live much longer. I'll be back on chemo in a few weeks, with the goal of pushing it back and keeping it there for as long as possible. I fully intend to be the outlier, the average is this way because most people that get this are old and not strong anymore. Who knows what they'll come up with in the next decade? I intend to beat it for as long as possible. Gonna need some time to process all of this. I don't really feel anything right now. Thanks.

There is just no way TB can't beat this, he is way too strong. As he said himself, the average life expectancy will go up after he is done with this. Good luck TB, keep fighting. Looking forward to your full recovery!

Edit:
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

That's horrible, really hope TB can fight and get past this, he's way too young to die. My thoughts go out to his family who must be going through hell right now to put it lightly.

Very sad news, keeping TB, his family and his extended Axiom family in my thoughts right now. Nobody this good deserves to go through this much shit
