Posted this a while ago but i decided to post an update.

Just to brief yall, i have advanced Esophageal cancer and im only expected to live about 3 week to 3 months. I posted a thread like Monday i think asking what i should do with the time i have left, and i did some of your ideas.

So i got my first [pity] blowjob (cancer perks amirite), i sat outside and watched the sunset every single day this week, and I listened to that one Swans album.

Id appreciate it if you guys gave me more ideas for stuff to do before i die. I cant really do much because i'm only 17 (pls no report im going to die soon anyway) so take that into consideration when tellin me what to do.

Also feel free to ask any questions. I was given the option to stay at home with hospice care, and I took it (id rather die at home than in a hospital), so i have some free range.

(I apologize if any if my sentences are confusing, im a little out of it because i'm on some pain meds so i have trouble concentrating on stuff like typing correctly)
>>

I remember your last thread. That perk sounds nice! Thx for the update. Feels.

>>685363034
You are gonna die soon, why do you even bother in writing shit on /b/. I'd go outside and kill some niggers before I die. Do something memorable.
>>
>>685364644
I post here mostly for my own enjoyment. Helps me organize my thoughts and im able to confess shit that i wouldn't to anyone who knows me IRL (such as one of the things im most upset about regarding my situation is that ill never get to see any of the new star wars movies).

So op. You are on the verge of death. But scientifically speaking you will be reborn. Okay now stay with me for a second. Let us consider one of the two major theories about the universe. The universe will exsist for ever aka infinity. Which also means that every mabey becomes a certain. And one of those possibilites are that your exact atoms sooner or later will join in together and create a new you. So do not sweat it op you are just disolving in other parts for a long while.
>>
>>685367111
trips. wtg.

Actually all the energy in the universe will eventually even out causing the inevitable Heat Death, but thanks for the comfort anon. If i wasnt poor as shit id get myself cryonically frozen so that maybe someday i can be brought back in some sorta robo body.

My life has been fufilled and i can now die happy

Thanks anon. Makes me feel gud
>>
>>685368209
>Heat Death
Well that would be a more pessimistic theory. Also consider multiverse theory and you should be set for a good amount of comfort in your fate. Also watch Rick and Morty if you have not already. Acctualy a bit jelly on that part because I think you will have an amazing experience with it.
>>
>>685368354
thats why i'm here no? ur trying to be happy b4 death so ima try to help a bit

While i agree with the first half, you have to admit that disneyland/world is basically every 6 year old cancer patient's wish
>>
>>685369415
good point
>>
>>685369601
The only reason i chose disney was because i wanted to see the new star wars shit (it was actually pretty sweet, would recommend)
>>
>>685369243
If you don't have something better, like meeting a personal hero or some shit, Disney isn't a bad choice
>>
Write to some famous people that you're about to croak and want to meet them.

Also, you're in a unique position. You can find religion. I suggest going to a Catholic Priest and telling him your situation and asking him how to get to heaven.

This is the time to believe, anon. If you don't do anything else right in your life, this is the one thing you gotta do.
>>
Fuck man. My gramps has skin cancer, but you at age 17? Well I guess if I was almost going to die, I would try to make some important point to the world about whatever the fuck you wanted, and try and change something for the better. I guess you could get into a fight with some faggots you hate in school. You could also take a bunch of drugs and shit and OD.
>>
>>685370330
Im actually an atheist, but the closer I get to havin my ticket punched, the more i try to make myself believe in an afterlife or something. I hate admitting it, but i'm actually kind of scared of dying and sometimes i stay up all night just thinking about it. The unknown brings me great anxiety. Though, i will take that idea into consideration. My family doesnt go to church or whatever like, ever (i wasnt even baptized), but im sure i could go this coming sunday. And when it comes to requesting a visit from a famous person, i dont really like the idea of that because it seems like it would be just a big pity party (which i would despise)
>>
>>685371068
Hey anon, I'm curious, how'd you get that pity blowjob?
>>
>>685371068
Don't let your fear of death consume to the point of believing in one out of many primitive religions just because you think it will allow you to cheat death.
>>
>>685371385
This could be your greatest gift and legacy, OP.
Give us tips on what to say to score.
>>
>>685370709
Im sorry bout your gramps. Cancer really sucks. In my opinion, its always harder on the family than the person with cancer (it might just be my personal situation though). I spend more time convincing my mom that itll be okay than myself. It kinda sucks that im going to die so young considering theres so much shit ill never get to do (have a girlfriend, have sex, get a job, buy my own groceries etc.). I really wanna try to make a point to people about something that i believe in, but i dont think id really be able to do it. Im too much of a pussy to do hard drugs or get into a fight or anything. But maybe ill write a really profound note to be read when i die or something.
>>
>>685371068
I'm so happy you're considering it, anon.
Catholic priest is the guy I would suggest talking to. You could call the parish and tell them your situation, or go there on a Sunday and try to catch one but it might be tough. Going on a weekday actually might be better. They have mass daily and often live on the grounds.

Trust, /b/ro, this is something that will be easy to do and more importantly you're covering your ass. Even if you don't believe, it's an insurance policy.

It's eternity we're talking about, man. BJs only last a few minutes.

Take a really cold shower and cry, not a lot of fun but if you're in the moment it can help get rid of painful emotions that you have about it. Even better do exstacy and go to a concert! Also hug your family and talk to them but I am sure you've done that one a lot already.

Once done with that?

I suggest you go streaking somewhere or maybe preferably skinny dipping if there's somewhere you can do it. Like an ocean or lake, neighbor's or hotel's pool (it won't as fun if you have your own pool in do it there). That can be with other's if you can, alone would be fine too. Um, eat your favorite food ever, or try some food you've never tried before. I'd try anchovies on pizza if I was in your position since that's something I've always wanted to try. Oh, if you haven't smoke some weed and listen to music.
>>
Before you die, check em.
>>
>>685373382 post got jumbled but the thoughts are there... some in the wrong order though. Sorry

Also, OP, please go out like a champ and livestream it for /b/.

How much pain are you in?
Was the diagnosis just out of the fucking blue?
>>
>>685373635
Dude, no. It's a window and that'd be a pain for OP. Just let him go in peace. He has a family and shit. Only lonefags should livestream.
>>
>>685373376
No one has to know. And she may have wanted to anyways. Won't know until you ask.

Do something positive and leave the world a little bit better before you go.

Kill some niggers.
>>
>>685363034
Idk if you believe in this sort of thing but I'll try and send some positive vibes your way, anon.
Keep staying strong man, can't even begin to imagine what you're going through but the way you're handling it is powerful as fuck. Finding enjoyment in the small things like the sunset is what life is really all about from the start, just keep yourself surrounded by those positives.
There's a little quote that's helped me in the past, "it's not the end of the world, it's just the end of the day." Stay strong my friend.

Go buy doom and play through it. Also, download mixify and get an account

I think it might be too late for that considering i can die at literally any moment. Not an expert on cannabis oil, but i dont think its an automatic cure

>>685373372
Thanks! Yeah, i gave all that stuff to my best friend already.

>>685373382
If i had a penny for every time i took a cold shower and cried, id probably have, like, 10 pennies. Ive definitely spent a lot of time hugging people. The latter sounds like a bunch of really good ideas that have been added to The List™

Please try psychedelics. Do a lowish dose first, but if you do dmt, do a lot.

>>685373635
>>685373818
Yeah, a livestream might be a pain. Im pretty achey, but the meds help. I also have Eosinophilic esophagitis, so when my throat started feeling like shit, i didnt think much of it until i finally went to the doctors, so i guess it wasnt completely out of the blue. I was definitely surprised though.
>>
>>685373896
Thank you so much. That quote might just be sad enough to make my death note
>>
op, i hope you rip in peace like the beyblade you are, i enjoyed reading this thread and i'm sorry for you man
>>
>>685374094
Chemo didnt really do much. It just made me look like an egg and i was sick a lot. As for treatments, i did have a esophagogastrectomy (thats a mouthful, or should i say throatful kek) but the cancer just came back. There was a few other things that i cant really remember, such as medication names and stuff
>>
>>685374165
Ill put that under my "maybe" list

>>685374834
This made me laugh. Thanks man
>>
How's the treatment going, anon? Are you doing the chemo and all that?

I swore to myself I never would, but who knows what I'd do if I were in that position.

Hey man, can you check in with /b/ daily so when you stop we know it happened?

Actually I bet you have a while, so that might get old real fast.
>>
>>685375066
I did chemo for a while, but at this point theres nothing to do so we stopped. It was just causing me pain. Right now im at home, basically just awaiting the inevitable. I was actually thinking about checking in like twice a week, so that yall will know when i finally die. (Thanks for counting on me having a while though)
>>
OP would you make a deal with satan to stay alive? Just wondering and if cared about my opinion on it I would say it wouldn't be worth it. But I am asking you.
>>
Genocide.
The cancer-prone shale die
>>
>>685375621
It depends on what the deal was. If i had to like, slaughter kittens daily for the rest of my life, then probably not. But if satan wanted to have his way with my bootyhole whenever he wanted, then maybe. Anal cant be that bad
>>
>>685375403
Chemo looks like the worst torture.
Fuck anon, I wish there was something the /b/ros could do to help. You want a personal army or something? Any last requests for /b/?
>>
>>685375621
Not OP but if the deal were good I would make a deal to live longer.
>>
>>685375917
Chemo was absolute hell. I cant even describe it. Your whole body just kinda burns and aches and you throw up a lot. Theres only so much pain meds can help with. And if i had to make a request, itd probably be to just be remembered. Ive always had a fear of dying and then no one remembering me. Makes me feel like my entire existence was pointless

Damn, this thread is full of feels. This is why I love /b/, through all the stupid and autistic shit that gets posted on a day to day basis, every so often, an op will come along that gives us a reason to come together, and it shows just this beautiful side to humanity nowhere else on the internet could replicate.

You won't be forgotten after you're gone, op. Trust. You may be young, but you made an impact. Every life you came into contact with while you were here has changed in some way because of you, even if not a lot. Even us, a bunch of lonely fag anons across the world have been hit by this influence, and all because you decided to bring your story here.

This isn't a goodbye. This is a thank you, and an, "until we meet again." Love ya, op, dude.
>>
>>685376748
Thank you. That means a lot to me
>>
>>685376466
Fuck that sounds terrible. I was on IV dilaudid for reasons and thank god that shit killed the pain, but the morphine only made a dent in it so I had to ask to upgrade.

What pain meds are you on? Do they help?

We'll remember you, brother. Anons never forget a comrade.

Also
>Rest in Pepperoni
>>
>>685375922
nah, don't do that. Cuz if there's a Satan, then there's a God, and you know that there is life beyond death, so you don't have to make a deal for "extra time".

You're an enormous faggot OP, you beautiful fucker.

I have two things I want you to do. First of all watch the fault in our stars, It celibrates life and the small ammount of time you get on this earth. Secondly find somewhere comfortable to sit/lay down and listen to the whole album "Parachutes" by Coldplay from start to finish without any interruptions while not doing anything else.

Also you better fucking send us dank memes from afterlife shitcunt.
>>
>>685376943
Shittt man got me all misty eyed. It makes me feel really great to have made any sort of impact on anybody. I might just screenshot this, print it out and tape it to my wall for inspiration when im feeling down. <3

>>685377095
I was on hydromorphone for a while but it was making me feel weird so i switched to fentanyl. They work pretty well, but there are times when it hurts so bad that pain meds dont do much
>>
Can you get a camera and make vlogs of your last days and share thoughts and fears about yourself and any catharsas you have from the shirt life you've lead?

Maybe interview people and explain your situation and ask them what they would do if they were in your shoes and then try to record/experience the ideas they give you.
>>
>>685376466
Never think of your existence as pointless. Right now, you're struggling, but you're struggling with a whole lot of strength and grace, that alone is bound to touch someone. If you can make a difference in someones life(which I'm sure you have), even if it's just one person, then your life has been far from meaningless. You very well may have just set certain people on a path in life they needed to go down, in a sense your journey will continue through them. I hope that makes some sense.
Honestly, after reading all this I'm going to talk to my girlfriend about both of us quitting smoking for good. Life is far too precious, and it's obvious the unexpected just happens. And for what it's worth, when I do quit you'll certainly be a big part of the reason why. So to bring it all full circle, who knows what me hearing about your story has saved me from. You're a savage badass Dominic, I'll remember you fondly and I know damn well plenty of others will too.

Make a kickstarter for something you know people would really be excited about.

When it reaches 90% of the fund, end it.
Post a video of yourself laughing.
Then post an apology.
Then a retraction.
Then a general insult to all fans of whatever it is.

This isn't a good idea, it isn't even funny.

I agree with the other guy, build or create something personal that will hang around.
>>
>>685377824
Bro, go ahead, print it out. You have ABSOLUTELY no reason to ever feel down in your last few days. A lot of people seem to forget to think about it from this perspective while they live, and if you just take the moment to remember, you'll understand just how fucking important you were.

Every since experience you've had was because you were there. Every friend, every enemy has had to use their thoughts n you at some point. Every sentence you've spoken has been heard by someone. Every feeling you've had has been reflected off of those around you. Without you, none of the events that transpired during your life would have happened. Because you existed, you made an entirely unique and unreplicable line of life. You are you, a one of a kind experience wrapped into a single, small human lifespan.

Never feel unimportant.

Because without you, none of it would have happened.

Just do the simple things. Go to a restaurant you've always wanted to go to, play golf, finger yourself, go fishing etc. But if you must do one thing, spend every moment you have left with your family. God bless dude.

Maybe help as many people with odd jobs in their houses and such as you can.

Everytime they turn on the light you fixed, or open the door you painted, they'll think of you and your good deeds.

OP, figure out that one book you want to read, then do it.

Pick a good one, though, and just read an hour or two a day, and it should last you to your end.

Nothing too sad though. Moby Dick is fairly dull, but a fantastic adventure.

Whoever said it had to be good? Write down whatever is in your head, any funny thought or idea you have throughout the day. Nobody is expecting a novel; just something that's a reminder of who you are.

>>685379834

Digging this idea too, go for it OP.

OP displays dignity beyond most who are so young. We all die, but OP is facing death with class worthy of any man.

We cannot cling to life forever, but we may greet its ending well and have our final days be exemplary to others.

I salute OP, may he pass as smoothly and swiftly as practical.

There are two sequels to the Giver if you are interested. Gathering Blue and the Messenger.

They aren't really related to the story of the Giver, but their universes tie in together. These may be better reads than Moby Dick, depending on your personality.

Godspeed man. You will soon have an answer no one on earth has. I hope that answer is the one you're looking for.

I don't know if you have any real qualities since I've no idea of who you are, but I recommend doing that one thing you always thought it'd be cool to create, being an album, a story, a note, a picture, anything. Create anything that makes you feel accomplished.

I have squamous cell carcinoma. I also have EoE, so throat problems were the norm for me.

You can specialise in painting stuff for people.
Oiling squeaking doors or gates.

Ask in a local paint shop about painting techniques, find a book in a second hand shop, check the internet.

Could paint all the fences in your neighbourhood. Do it for the nice ones first.

>>685382096
You really gave me a new perspective OP. I only turned 18 two months ago and the thought of me dying at this age really depresses me. Godspeed OP, live out the rest of your life doing what you want. Leave a lasting impression on people and although you'll be gone, you'll still be with them.
>>
>>685381022

Damn, that's really rare for someone your age.
Its amazing to me how positive you are, again, especially at your age.

I'm a training oncologist. Your outlook is rare and I wish you all the peace this world (and hopefully beyond) can offer you. Its a tragedy for you and your loved ones, but a heavy reminder of the importance of spreading love and striving towards a meaningful existence. You will not leave without deeply touching those around you, and hopefully will plant seeds of inspiration and introspection in many.

OP, it's not often I feel admiration for anybody else, but honestly I can feel it right now. Even faced with this you're seizing life, shitting in it's face. Essentially life just scored 50 points on you, but you can still say you won. The world's gonna miss you.

>>685363034
The dead isnt the end. You will live forever in memory of your loved ones and on /b/. You will live forever in my memory.

And i mean it.

You will die soon. I will die in a few years . We all go. We will not meet in the afterlife . But this meeting is happening now.

You and me. You and /b/.

Enjoy the present moment, which is all that exists . When looking at the sunset, just do it . When you break the cars in the junkyard , just do it . When you eat , just do it . Do not let this problem consume your mind.

Its solved , nothing else can be done , so just enjoy the ride .

I sincerely wish all the best. Good luck.

Story to share
I walk in the door of her hospital room and she is already dying. Friends and family are gathered around the bed, leaning forward with hands folded, eyes glistening. It was sudden. I received the call just minutes ago. I wasn’t ready.

“We’re losing her,” the nurse murmurs as she checks vitals that are rapidly escaping. I look down at her. She looks up at me. We waste two minutes in silence.
I don’t remember how I first met her, but I have known her for a long time. She was one of those people that had always lived in my periphery, then one day snapped into focus.

A mutual friend told me to talk to her. Told me to ask her out. With a strange color in her voice, told me there was no time like the present, that once a page has turned, there’s no turning it back. So I approached her in a dim campus hallway, and we started talking.

She looked healthy. Pale olive skin. Straight black hair. Curved, Icelandic eyes just as black. She never smiled once. She curled in on herself and clutched her textbooks to her chest as if I was coming at her with a dagger. But I just wanted to talk.

She was on her way to the library, so I went with her. We sat across from each other at a table and ignored our books. Maybe I could sense it even then, the shadows in her eyes, the question smoldering there, Why are you with me? Don’t you know I’m temporary?

For no reason I could understand, I leaned across the table and kissed her. She hesitated, pulled back slightly, then accepted it. Closed her eyes and gave herself up. I kept mine open.

The rest of the people in the library stared at us, but they didn’t matter. They were in normal timeflows, and we were somewhere else. A bubble between here and eternity, just large enough for us to fit. I would understand all this later. For now it was just a feeling.
“We’re losing her.”
.

Is that you, John Green?
>>
Second part third incoming.”

She flinches at the proclamation, and it strikes me as hideous that she is awake to hear it. So completely and horrifically conscious, a lucid witness to her own death.

“Someone should say a few words,” the nurse says.

A religious friend pulls out a Bible and clears his throat. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Requiem eternum. She listens and watches him with wide eyes, trembling lips. What are they doing? Can’t they see she’s still here? It’s monstrous.
I brought her home to meet my family. I didn’t tell them anything. They saw her and saw just a new girlfriend. A cause for smiles, winks, thumbs-up when she’s not looking.

Nice work, son!

She’s beautiful, honey.

Thanks Mom. Thanks Dad.

Our reality was too strange. We couldn’t let anyone into our bubble. It would burst.

In pajamas we watched a nature show on the couch. My brothers arrived and convinced us to watch an action film. We sat in the corner on the loveseat while they hooted and backslapped. She laid her legs across my lap and hugged my arm. They grinned at us and made silly comments, but the noises around us were muffled, we couldn’t understand any of the languages.

We drifted away from our friends and families. Our world was too different now, floating between the things we knew and the things no one knew. Our thoughts lived in heights where no one else ventured. We loved them, but they disappeared. No one could reach us there in that space.

Even when she was healthy, vibrant and full of life with only occasional spasms of pain, it was like this. We went camping, we played volleyball, we climbed mountains, but I knew we were on our way. We were travelers on a plane, and I could see the ground below peeking through the clouds. That dark foreign land with no brochure, no tour guide, no phrasebook.

Do you really want to know me? she asked. Even though I’m momentary?

I’ll go with you, I said.

I’ll go with you, I said.

I want you to, she said. I don’t want to go alone.

I will, I said. I promise.

But she shook her head.

You can’t.
“She was a good woman,” the friend intones. “Kindhearted, generous, a child of God.”

Why can’t they see she’s not gone yet? Her eyes are clear. Her skin is pink. Surely we still have time. At least a few minutes, and minutes can become years. I know how to stretch them. I can pry open a single moment and climb inside. If they would just stop talking I could do this. I could make these minutes into a lifetime.

Im starting to not feel so hot (which usually happens when i mix meds, computer and no sleep) so i think i'm gonna hit the hay. Hopefully i dont die in my sleep kek (very unlikely, i think ill know when i start to die). Im so appreciative for all of the kind words and encouragement, and im glad that i could impact some of you guys. I'll try to check in maybe every tuesday and friday with how i'm doing, so when i stop posting yall will know what happened. Again, thank you guys so much. You words mean a lot to me. Dying is pretty scary, and i know i act like it doesnt bother me much, but the truth is, im fuckin terrified. I try not to think about it much, but you guys make me feel not so afraid. Sorry if i didnt get to all of your messages, theres a lot of you and im a slow typer. Ill (hopefully) talk to you guys on Tuesday.

Forget the mean people. When I say that you will be remembered, it is because it's true. This meeting is real and significant, because it is full of what is the most important. Humanity. This meeting is real and meaningful to me, because you are real and meaningful, with your own problems and desires. This meeting taught me what is important in life, again. The now, the present moment. You reminded me of something very important Dominic, so I say.

If you are meaningful to me, a single / b /ro. Imagine for your mother, to your friends. You will be remembered.

Try to cook a meal, paying attention to every detail as if it were very important for your life. It's interesting. Even if you do not know how to cook. Try to always be present in the now.

Try doing things like that.

Ever.

Man, I don't know what to say. Get laid, use some lsd. If there's a major game you really liked, you could try contacting the game developers and explaining what you're going through. So much you could do, and so little time. I'm sorry things ended up this way OP. It's not fair, but when nature calls like this what can we do.
