Talal...I've seen you around and while I can't remember a time we posted together. You always seemed a good person to me.

Can you get a flight to Canada or the UK? Fuck it man, don't let a small thing like cancer stop shit posting. You owe it to yourself.

Man if you don't get off this site and start crossing things off your bucket list ASAP...

And fuck the predictions. You can live forever. Mind over matter.

Don't ask me what I would do if I had 8 weeks to live
it involves taking out a BUNCH of bad loans and traveling the world
Haha would do so in a heartbeat if possible but it's not. Spent everything I had just travelling to other cities to see the doctors and doing tests. Also I'm feeling very sick.
If anyone has any cheap solutions to having some fun please let me know.

All I can share are my condolences. It's a tough and unimaginable position to be in. My instinct is to say keep fighting even if there's the tiniest chance. It may not be feasible, but exploring any opportunity early should be worthwhile.

So, you are in Morocco? Maybe, you could spend your money to get to somewhere with healthcare better than Morocco.

No offense meant to Morocco.

I'm so sorry.

40% is worth a shot though. Set up a donation. Lots of people on here care about you and will donate.

When people say to get off this site and don't waste your precious few days on it...why don't you heed your own advice as well? We all have precious little time in our existence and we all can die literally at any moment.

That said, OP I wish you the best you can possibly have for the little time you have left. The bucket list stuff is real so try what you can. Tell everyone you love that you love them.

Man, i'm so sorry you have to go through this. I can't imagine what you're going through, good luck telling your loved ones. And if you don't go for treatment, then you do you. Do as much of the stuff you can do.

I hope you decide to and find a way on the 40% chance. It's infinitely better than no chance, right? I definitely understand the mindset you're in now as I'd be in the same boat if diagnosed with cancer.

Best of luck to you, sir.

Have you tried some holistic/asian treatments? I knew someone who was kind of in a similar situation. He went to see some asian doctor who gave him a regiment to flush out all the toxins from his body. He's still alive today.

Don't suggest pseudoscience to someone dying of cancer.

I don't know what to say other than "fuck" in reflective anger. Fuck cancer. I'm so sorry to hear you have to go through it like this. Keep on fighting for as long as your breath will carry you! :'(

Sorry to hear that. You should try to do some of the things you listed. If that's what brings you joy then do it. I'm referring to FF and stuff btw.

I'm sorry op. If this is indeed the end, do everything you can to make it worthwhile. Try to make these 8 weeks feel like 8 years.

And as hard as it might be, try not to dwell on things. Just enjoy the time you have left.

Shit man, that's fucking hard to read and take in...
I'm really sorry you got this very bad news but like others, I want to tell you to keep fighting on, don't give up an inch !

Doctors tell you 8 weeks, maybe you'll make it a year, or more, it happens all the time.
A crowdfunding, looking up charitable organizations, writing to Bill Gates, whatever it takes, go for it man !

Great OP, Talal. You have my sincere sympathies. I can't imagine what you've been through so far, but I'd also urge you not to give up and set up a crowdfunding campaign.

Very sorry to hear this, Talal. I don't know you but it's always heart breaking to read stuff like this. We're all where we are for a reason, don't be so hard on yourself for not being "good enough" because if you had done things differently, you may have been lamenting choosing studying over living your life. It's an endless cycle that'll only make you more miserable the more you think about it.

With that said, I wouldn't give up hope for recovery with your treatment. It's a tough decision, I'm sure, but you've got family and friends who know you and want to be there for you. You have us, as well, when you're needing encouragement (or even funding, based on some posts I've seen). Whatever you decide, don't give up hope. I know you're an existentialist but, I'll be praying for you man.

FFXV is an easy run-through, btw. Get it done over the next couple of days, you've waited long enough! lol

Sorry to hear it OP. Don't think anything I say can comfort you right now, but if there's anything I can do, Gofundme or any other way I could contribute, I would be glad to help

Please stop this shit.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation Talal. I don't know what to say to be honest.

You said that with treatment there is 40% chance right? We'll take it. Step up a gofundme like suggested by others, let's see if can get you that treatment first.

After setting up that get on that FFXV play through.

Duuude, we gotta crowdfund that treatment. Era has like 33000 members. If a 10th of those put forward $10, you'd only be 4k short.

I would gladly empty my wallet so that you could have a better chance of survival.

That's about as useful as "Thoughts and prayers" and relying on miracles. Thats fine and all, as long as they are getting "real" medical treatment in the process.....

What do you mean by you can't pull the money off these websites?

I would also donate what I have to this.
