3. Returned Part II : The Updatening

Returned Part II : The Updatening


  • Best wishes to you, bud, and I hope 2016 is the year you beat cancer once and for all.

    I've walked for Rely for Life (American Cancer Society) every summer for the past 12 or 13 years. I know we don't know each other IRL, but I'll be thinking of you (and others I know who are fighting cancer).

    Godspeed!

  • hugs Thinking about you, fingers and toes crossed.

  • First round of chemotherapy complete.

    The 5 days in a row of it? Not that bad. The resulting weekend and days after? Fucking miserable. I start again on the 4th, but hey, so far so good. 🙂

    My fundraiser also completed this week, too, so it's all paid for too!


  • Hey bud,

    It was great to see you back in game a while back. I hope you keep it up.

    I'm really sorry to hear about your cancer, though. Over the years, we've adventured together a few times (you should have stuck with crafting!), but we've had enough interactions IG, PMs, and in the forums for me to know that you're a good person outside of the game.

    You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

    Take care, and I hope to see you IG soon.

  • I believe it is illegal for a company to fire an employee for a medical reason.


  • Man hugs Sorry to hear about all this bud. Fucking employers need to be more sympathetic about that shit.

    UPDATE

    My bloodwork came back, and I still have cancer cells. Not sure where, why, how etc, but it's there, which means it's follow up time.

    I have an appointment Monday morning, and will go from there.

    I also lost my job due to absences like going to the doctor during work (Coincidentally ... Doctor ) hours. They let me leave on "Medical" instead of firing me, and even tried to backtrack at first, but laced it with lots of "Oh, we can let you stay, BUT ... "

    Nuh-uh. You're going to let me go because I need to tend to my health a couple hours a week? Fuck off.

    So, back to the grind, hopefully will find a way to pay rent, and get a more understanding employer.

    Wish me luck, and come see me in game ^_^

    Missed you guys...


  • Heya jerrick welcome back to the server


  • Managed to catch you already, but great to see you around again! That's a harsh deal to get and even though it might read like some fortune cookie bs, I hope you continue to stay positive through life's challenges cuz it makes all the difference.

    Much love hugs


  • THREE?

    Fuck.

    I'm pulling through, don't worry. Just needed a vent and wanted folks to know why I was gone.

  • A

    Hang in there! I know you've been through some rough patches, but we're all pulling for you. My brother had testicular cancer when he was three years old. That was over 50 years ago and he's still alive. You can beat this.
