I have a brain tumor. Its about the size of a golf ball and still growing. Should I go for chemotherapy, radiation or have them try to cut it out?
Thanks for any help, you guys are the greatest ;)
-
Hell, Gunthr.....sorry to hear that...
My advice is.....to ask a doctor who you trust. Noone will give you a better advice than him.
You'll be in my thoughts...hold on and win this battle!.

:rolleyes:
Geez, you're making me feel bad RRam. I was just kidding.
(I think I'm gonna go with the lobotomy anyways.)
-
The only solution is to amputate.
-
You will need to be circumsized so it doesnt spill over to other vital organs, like the colon ;)

You might have a weird sense of humor ,because I see no fun in that message.
It is quite possible to have a tumor of the size you said in the original post. It is quite possible to be scared as hell enough to ask such a thing as "what should I do". It would be not really smart to ask such a thing here, but who knows. I've seen worse things in this BBS in the 2 years I've been around.
Anyway, and for what it matters, I thought you were serious not because it sounded more or less plausible, but because with certain things I think is of BAD taste to make jokes about. I know I won't ever do jokes about that -and I'm renowned for having a real twisted sense of humor-, and I take that noone would really make fun of such a serious thing as a brain tumor is.
That's why I thought you were serious. As simple as that.

I would have guessed that the little smiley at the end of the post would have given away his intent. But maybe thats just me.

My apologies. It was satire. I believe I'll go amputate now.

according to an english dictionary:
Satire: The use of mockery, irony, or wit to attack or ridicule something, such as a habit, idea or custom which is considered to be foolish or wrong.
Maybe you think that a brain tumor is something to ridiculize, or joke about. I definitely don't. Any further comment on this topic is useless from my point of view. Your sposts speak by themself.
-
RRAM...see the "corruption at low level" thread.
-
cancer isnt funny but I will try to laugh anyway...
-
lol, this is great.
You should edit it to say " I have a benign brain tumor."
-
My mother died of brain cancer. Thanks for the laughs.
-
Oh brother, you're an evil person now Gunthr. How dare you attempt to make a joke about any serious subject.
SOB

I'm the guy laughing in the corner on the tom green show.
-
With this sense of humour, you probably DO have a brain tumor Gunthr
:eek:
-
I thought the ";)" smiley made it was clear that I was joking.
Who would seriously seek nuerosurgeon advice on this board?
Who would make a serious decision based on such advice?
I meant it as a satire on another thread, as Rightfoot pointed out.
I've apologised to anyone I may have offended. But I have to tell ya, some of you are ultra thin-skinned.
Remember, its GOOD to laugh. Its healthy. Even graveyard humor is good.
My friend of 25 years, a 57 year old man with an IQ of only 72 had his left leg amputated at mid-thigh due to gangrene. This occurred on 05/23/02.
On 06/05/02 while recovering, nurses noticed he had rectal bleeding. It was colon cancer. His bowel and rectum were resected. I don't know whats going to happen to him.
In spite of that, I took my lumps when funked suggested I amputate my head. There was no wailing or gnashing of teeth.
Why? Because I have a sense of humor, thats why. :D

Yeah gunther, My wife and I are just rolling on the floor about her cancer......
We do have a sense of humor. You hit on something that isn't funny. You should have deleted this thread when you didn't get the yucks you figured you deserved.
-
ahhh.... I have a Tumor too :D
-
lol, Tumor, you beat me to it, as I was just thinking about you so molded to this thread. You don't know how much you don't offend me, me being a cancer ridden family member. I need to get more serious.
Plus, like i said as the Anal High crowd took that obscure post to heart and immposible reatrded proportions, they are infering Gunthr has a maligment tumor. It could be, like I said, a un-life-threatening benign tumor.
If that’s the case in the frontal lobe, he would just slowly morph into Clint Howard.

(If I have offended relatives of Clint Howard, please moan away. I’ll eventually get sad and dramatic.)

Ya Creamo, some folks are just too serious. I've got 5 Aunts, 4 Uncles, 1 Grandfather who've all died of cancer. Nothing I can do about it and I'm sure not going to get poopy if anyone makes a joke about cancer in general. Heck, I'll probably have my go round with it, matter of fact I've already had a couple of doomahitchies surgicly removed to avoid it, luckily benign. I just refuse to let it affect me in anyway... except fiber, I eat lots of fiber :)
-
My wife is a very serious person, and we have very few relatives due to impotence. Thanks for the laughs Tumor.
:(

Ahhh!
hehe gunthr, this is the "lets laugh at me wiping my bloody cancer infested ass" type thread eh! ;)
Lets hear that joke about WTC 9/11 again hehe
What was it?
"What do ragheads and body fragments of children have in common?"
Give it up man, go dig a hole and crawl in it, lol :)
now THATS funny.
HEHEHE
Yeah right :eek:
-
Lighten up Maverack. I would think that you wouldn't want to sweat the small things in your situation...
...things like some knucklehead posting a joke about cancer that you know was supposed to be funny. :rolleyes: I've apologised already.
-
Gunthr... I thought it was funny... and was hoping that other's would take the time to give you medical advice on you and your "tumor".
I find it quite hillarious as to how you can ask virtually any "need advice" type of question and get 50 responses.
We're brain surgeons in one thread, nuclear physisists in another thread, race car drivers in yet another, and legal aid in too many to count.
Isn't the internet wonderfull.

Edited...My condolances LePaul...

Sigh
My Godson had a brain tumor as you described....they removed it surgically. He was 6. It came back, more agressively, and again they tried to remove it. He died a few days later. He was 7, and my best friend...this was back in 1992. Still miss the little guy.
Please, find another topic to jest over.

Tell it brother! Next thing you know I'll be asked to change my ID.

Bah, if you wanted this to be funny, you should have been seeking advice on gynecomastia (http://www.lussiermd.com/gynecomastiaart.htm) treatments.
Funkedup and SOB would have been posting legit advice instead of Ram:D

Hey Gunthr,
Folks who never worked in emergency services just can’t understand the dark humor we use. If you said that to me at the station, I’d pull out my knife and tell you to lean over. However, in this setting, Gunthr is found guilty of Rule #6.
10 Emergency Services Rules
1. Skin signs tell all.
2. Sick people don't squeak.
3. Air goes in and out, blood goes round and round, any variation on this is a bad thing.
4. About 70% of the battery patients more than likely deserved it.
5. The more equipment you see on an EMTs belt, the newer they are. The more patches someone has on their jacket, the fewer actual patients they have ever seen. If they have instructor rockers, they have NEVER seen a real patient.
6. When dealing with patients, supervisors, or citizens, if it felt good saying it, it was the wrong thing to say.
7. All bleeding stops.... Eventually.
8. All people will eventually die, no matter what you do.
9. If the child is quiet, be scared.
10. Never trust (fill in the blank) to be fully stocked. If you don't have it improvise (improvisation is the mother of invention)
11. Rookies always look for large things in the smallest compartments and vice versa.
12. If the patient is going to vomit aim them on the person you like least.
13. Sick people only call because they couldn't get into their car. They apologize for bothering you when you have sick people to see. Be scared when you see these people.
14. When a pregnant woman says, "The baby is coming", you damn well better believe her.
15. When a patient says, "I think I am going to die" he is probably right.
16. There are more than ten rules.
After 20 years in Emergency Services, Gunthr has witnessed more suffering, sadness and stress than anyone should. Is it any wonder that the career life expectancy of most emergency service workers is less than ten years?

I find a nice sports bra does the trick. On the other hand, the wonderbra is great for weekends, and really turns those heads! :D

You need to give the "bro" a try. Works wonders for me. I can now jog again... if I wanted to.

"I was just kidding. "
Yeah. A Literal riot.
I've lost five close relatives to cancer in the last four years. Last year a very nice, popular boy in the neighborhood, 8 years old, died of EXACLTY what you're "joking" about.
I didn't find anything humurous in your post in the least. Perhaps after it's happened to you or several close relatives or friends you can this thread so we'll al have a good chuckle again.
Anyone heard from 1776 recently? I've thought of him many times and can only hope that he's ok.
