Just learned this afternoon and still haven't told anyone. They said even if I ever managed to do afford the treatment I only have a 40% of remission and there's no f****** way I can. I'm surprisingly very calm about this, at least the suffering of my parents and myself can come to an end. It's a sick world we live in.
But as an existentialist I can't help but feel like my life has been a failure.
I have so much regrets though: Should have done better at school and finding a job thus affording the treatment. Should have found myself better friends and shouldn't have wasted 2 years with my ex (broke up with me 3 weeks after I discovered the illness). Been waiting for FFXV for 10 years and still haven't played it. Won't live long enough to play FF7R, Death Stranding and a possible new Chrono game. Won't watch the next Scorcese movie and will never see the end of Berserk and HxH.
Had a lot of dreams: making a movie, climbing mount Kilimanjaro, driving a muscle car, watching a Barcelona game in Camp Nou etc.... All those dreams will be lost in time...like tears in the rain....
Era is the only place where I hang out recently, glad to be part of this community. I know it's cliche but live your life to the fullest. Sayonara.
UPDATE :
Since so many people wanted to help, I decided to set up a gogetfunding page.

Any help welcome. Thank you everyone for the love and support.

Talal has kindly provided evidence to the mods that supports this heartbreaking story. While our policy ordinarily is to never permit personal fundraising, under these extraordinary circumstances we will allow members to organize themselves if they wish. We cannot supervise or take responsibility for such an effort, but we hope for the best possible outcome.
Talal, I wish you the best. If you need anything, please reach out.
For those having issues with paypal:
i kept getting the error message when i tried to donate with a debit card, but it started working after i put the money in the paypal wallet first and then used that to donate (converted it in dollars as well). so if the others in this thread who have had trouble tried to use their card they might want to try that.
12/29 UPDATE
Just got a call from PayPal and transactions have been stopped because of security issues. They say the only options right now is to get a US bank account (impossible) or wait for the local bank thing (around 20 working days).
12/31 UPDATE
Good news : PayPal issue solved. Also around 2/3 funded. Many thanks to everyone who contributed I won't let you down. Will find a way to transfer funds and start treatment ASAP. Will share pics of starting chemo. Can't wait to go full Heisenberg in the next couple of weeks.
