It’s my #Remissionversary! NINE YEARS NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE (& counting!) and I’m not done yet. #NotDeadYet AYAs iykyk!

The dead are chatty little bastards.

So yeah, I'm still here. I'm trying to get rid of the weight the treatment has given me, unsuccessfully.

I have no sex drive at all, my body hair has changed, my self image is appalling, my back hurts all the time and my body temperature is out of control. Hot flushes, yay.

But I'm still here. Fuck cancer.

Between the three of them, I'm still here

Chemotherapy is awful.
The injections for the testosterone suppression are awful.
The side effects of both are awful.

But I'm still here. If I'd had no symptoms, I wouldn't be. Pretty stark.

As is seeing the box for "palliative treatment, not curable" ticked on your treatment consent form.

... And thus started a load of clinical investigations, which showed that I had a very enlarged prostate (the size of an orange), I didn't have intrusions into my bladder or bowel, but I did have masses in my lymph system. Big masses. Serious, life threatening masses.

But! Nothing in my bones, unlike Sir Chris Hoy. So no radiotherapy.

However, it did mean:
* Testosterone suppression
* Chemotherapy
* Tablets for the rest of my life

One year to the day since I got told of a numeric result of a blood test, initially with no context.

"1206", I was told, "that's higher than usual". When I asked what usual was, "anything over 5 is problematic".

The units were ng/ml, of a compound called PSA. Prostate Specific Antigen.

When asked what that meant, the reply was "that almost certainly means advanced metastatic prostate cancer".

Oh. Crap.

Individually, sure. If aggressive lifestyle advertising drives suicide rates up five percent, that's a lot of people who didn't need to die. God forbid they get ’clever' and start trying to sabotage/undermine suicide help lines ala the 'crisis center' model.

I never really thought about this angle until a disabled friend involved in #notdeadyet pulled me along the train of thought.

Je me demande si toutes les personnes qui soutiennent activement en France une nouvelle législation concernant l'euthanasie, au pretexte de la liberté individuelle, ou de la (soi disant) insuffisance du cadre législatif actuel, ont pris la peine de rédiger leurs directives anticipées et de désigner leur personne de confiance ?

(Bien sûr c'est une question rhétorique)

Was switching laundry and my brain suddenly was assaulted by several jokes about "dryer balls"

#notDeadYet

Wahoo! Made it all the way across the pool freestyle without having to stop!

I had need for a new #perl operator today, like:

$val //~ s/$prefix//;

that would be equivalent to:

$val =~ s/$prefix// if defined $val;

is it too late to get this for v5.42 ?

P.S. An das @unileipzig URZ: Mit einer Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 Lizenz könnten die Rechner zur Not auch bis 2032 betrieben werden. Die Funktionalität ist die gleiche wie bei Windows 10 Pro. Das würde Ressourcen sparen! #NotDeadYet
