I love niche forums like HN because it satisfies my itch for mind expanding content. The closest I got to that was OG StumbleUpon, if you know, you know.

I'm unfortunately not passionate about much nowadays; in treatment for stage 4 cancer, so I'm fairly exhausted all the time. I'm glad I can still maintain my cognitive abilities during chemo so I can still do my job.

So sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Best of luck on your battle, I hope the chemo is having the desired effect. My mom recently finished her chemo rounds. Took a real toll on her. Hang in there! You got this!

I hope your mom recovers well. I'm on chemo indefinitely so its a matter of finding a cure before chemo stops working for me. I'm only in my thirties so it might just happen!

You are young which is definitely on your side. Stay strong and wishing the best for you.

I wish you the best, I know what it is, I fought 5 years with a leukemia when I was 15. I hope you will recover well, medicine has evolved pretty well.

The best advice I can give you that worked well for me, is to always keep your brain active, keep coding, keep thinking. :) It was a cure for me to keep my ability to think, resolve problems, etc ...

Exactly. It sounds so cliche but just keeping active and finding purpose really helps me cope with the day to day. Dealing with Leukemia at 15 must have been truly scary, I'm glad you're well!

Best of everything, friend. Many of us are pulling for you. My pal somehow got through stage 4 brain cancer. There’s hope.

[dev_throw]

I appreciate the kind words. That's wonderful, I know of a couple others in my support group that have survived it. Cancer is truly the most enigmatic disease, no two people experience it the same.

Lots of incredible innovation on cancer. New, revolutionary drugs every year or two. Hang in there. This is not a death sentence. Just the best chance to change our lives for the better. You will get through this!

I completely understand what you are going through . I am in similar spot not cancer but chronic genetic condition that’s destroying my organ . The exhaustion is real .
