Hello all,
Handle was athlete03. I got diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer: Ewing's Sarcoma. It was all the more bizarre since I was in my twenties. It was metastatic (two mets in the lung) by the time I was diagnosed so I was given around a 5-10% chance. I underwent maximum sub-lethal chemo, radiation and surgery, all of which took about a year. Someone upstairs still likes me because I made a complete recovery. I've been out of all treatment for two years and feel great. Ewing's is a fast growing tumor; so if it was going to come back it probably would have by now.
How this applies to this board follows. The type of cancer I had had absolutely nothing to do with AAS. However, while I was going through the treatment and the disease itself, I realized, thankfully, how awful cancer is. How real it is. You feel sicker than you ever thought possible, terrible physical pain, emotional turmoil, crippling nausea and, worst of all, utter despair.
I feel it is my duty as a survivor not to scold (I believe in personal freedom) but to request, human to human, especially for the newbies out there: before jumping into a huge and harsh cycle which is likely to predispose you to cancer later, simply consider the potential consequences. The very real pain and despair that may follow. Socrates said it better than I, "everything in moderation."
Take it or leave it. It's one man's experience.
That being said, I'm back to training and happy to be back on this board.
Thank you
