Maybe its not prostate cancer ? Is that at all a possibility ?

A very slim one, but doctors are almost sure it’s that, he has also been having purely bloody stools for a couple weeks, he’s generally very unhealthy with COPD/issues with pain (this one is on my moms side not the one that had a stroke) so he said if it’s that, he won’t do treatment or nothing, he just let it progress, he’s had it rough and has had enough. Sad stuff

Hate to hear that my friend. My grandpa died from it this past Thursday. He was 82 and in poor health. That damn prostate is one hell of a double edge sword.
 
For those of you that have been trying to figure out my profile pic, it’s my backyard completely flooded during Hurricane Michael. My dog Gus is having a good time in the foreground and I am in the back in my kayak

My dad got diagnosed 4 years ago with prostate cancer... And he has the aggressive kind and it's still more slow-growing than most cancers.. I would say it's one of the most treatable cancers out there if it's caught in time.

Yep, I saw that if caught early you can treat it well, crazy how our own body parts become a risk as we get older tho
 
My professor was taking today about how he had a student who wanted to be a meteorologist, but was really bad at math. He barely graduated and flunked out of his first meteorology class. Then he shifted to Political Science the next semester, and got honor role.

I couldn’t help but relate that story to some of the folks here. Any other interesting college stories?

I have none! Cause I didn’t go! ?
 
I’ve had stomach and abdominal issues for the last 4-5 weeks. Pretty sure I either have an ulcer or worse. The doctor said it could be Pylori but idk. Funny how since I turned 30, every time something hurts on my body I assume the worst. I’ve been scarred ever since my grandpa thought he had diverticulitis in 2015. He went to the hospital with abdominal discomfort and was told after a CT scan that he had stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He died a week later. Toughest man I ever knew and he didn’t stand a chance.

Wait that’s actually me ... I mean I pass any class related to meteorology but I CANT pass high level math or science classes (u know the physics and calcs) I’m still trying slowly and surely but It’s tough and it’s only putting me through a world of stress.. all I wanna do is warn people about the weather inform the public on what’s coming .. maybe storm chase eventually ... in no way am I going to need to use any of that bs when I’m doing that ... frustrating to say the least
 
For the fall, they been waitin on me, I know that's what they all say
Live it up, they been hatin on me, I ain't trippin cause we all paid

Sorry to hear this but even at my young age I have this extreme fear something like that could happen to me .. cause I’ve always heard it to be so random and out of the blue... I try to listen to my body all the time and if something doesn’t feel right I go and check it out .. I also try and stay working out on a semi regular basis and try to keep my mental health in check along with regulating the food I eat ... I know long term these things can have huge effects and take a toll on the body .. all I can do is listen to what my body is telling me and hope for the best (also just started getting my blood tested which I’ll probably do yearly now just to make sure u know)

This Er Is crazy . I was in a stretcher meant for a damn 10 year old boy for over 13 hours before at 2 am they finally moved me to a decent room ! Oh they have no pillows in the ER either . Even the room I’m in now is temporary .
 
Getting old sucks. That’s why I’ve changed my way of life in the past year. Spend more time with your kids, stop saying no you don’t want to do that or go there. If you want to do something do it! I was planning to retire to the beach but hell why wait? Tomorrow isn’t Guaranteed so live for today. Be happy and stop complaining about things that don’t effect yourself family or life. Rant over.
Note* these pain killers are fantastic!!!!

Pancreatic cancer is some crazy stuff. Probably my biggest Fear. And yes once you turn 30 it goes all down hill.
