Well, I don't know if there is really a right way to tell people this, so I guess here goes. The CT did not come back negative. The cancer in the bowel is gone, but spots have appeared in my liver. They're not operable and there's no cure. Average life expectancy is 2-3 years, though there are outliers that live much longer. I'll be back on chemo in a few weeks, with the goal of pushing it back and keeping it there for as long as possible. I fully intend to be the outlier, the average is this way because most people that get this are old and not strong anymore. Who knows what they'll come up with in the next decade? I intend to beat it for as long as possible. Gonna need some time to process all of this. I don't really feel anything right now. Thanks.

 

Very sad to hear a man as young as him is facing this.
In following tweets he seems determined to beat it though.

If you have a twitter account please consider sending the Bains some encouragement.

When in doubt, blame the elves.

 

I have always hated the word "censorship", I prefer seeing it as just removing content that isn't suitable or is considered offensive

 

Poor guy. I don't have Twitter, but I wish him all the luck in the world.

Heh, right. But that's hard news, hope he pulls through.

This is really sad. I hope he beats all the odds.

I know it sounds silly, but bits of encouragement can help to bolster one's spirits in difficult times.

Yeah It's not much, in fact it's rather insubstantial, but it is something.

That sucks. He's one of the few truly pro-consumer voices out there and I hope he gets to stay that way a good while longer.

Only 31 yo, what a bummer. Best of luck to him.

Oh man, that's terrible, really sad news.  I hope he somehow beats the odds.  My wishes go out to him, Genna, and his family.

You do know this is the internet, he's probably going to get a lot of "good riddance" messages.

Well this sucks, I truly hope he manages to be the outlier.

Very Sad news. Wish him all the best.

There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
