Not to bury the lede: I got back my biopsy and Monday's MRI test results, and both say I am now cancer free.WOOT!The tumor is totally gone, leaving just scarring behind. The suspicious mass near a lymph node has gone away. All the stuff we say in my MRI weeks ago has faded, and is now believed to have been scarring and inflammation from the two months of chemoradiation.So, it took 18 months, but I BEAT IT!And ALL of you helped. I am never going to forget what my family, friends, and the gaming community have done for me.There are details to iron out -- MRIs ever 6 months to make sure it STAYS dead, I have another 7 months months expected to recover from my last radiation treatment, and there are tens of thousands of dollars of bills to somehow manage -- but none of that matters tonight.Tonight, I'm just dancing a CANCER FREE dance!

I'm happy to hear the best news for you and your family! Your story and spirit has resonated such that my non-gaming wife periodically asks how you're doing. I'll be glad to report the great tidings.

DAMN RIGHT IT IS! Spend your next—hard earned—level wisely. 😉 ♥

Have you considered a level of vigilante? You can do some low-grade anti-tumor patrols and the like. Score yourself a secret identity!

That is a-fucking-MAZING. Didn't I see a mug that was to be smashed when you kicked cancer's ass. You just won a fight worth a tale.

Owen K.C. Stephens

The Mug is indeed still to be smashed. I wanted to wait until I had recovered from the radiation... but that's taking too long, so...

Next time you need a boost, put your asshole d20 in it and take a club to it!
