I have a brain tumor :(

[Big McLargehuge]

I went to the opthamologist yesterday because i recently lost my periphreal vision. The doctor saw that my eyes were in perfect shape and suggested i get a CT scan. It showed that i have a rather large pituitary tumor that has grown to a size that it is putting pressure on my optical nerve.

There is a 99% chance that the tumor is benign, but it will still have to be either shrank using radiation or removed. The tumor has apparently been there for a long time and i have manifested all the symptoms associated with acromeglia (over production of growth hormone due to a pitutitary tumor, Andre the Giant yo) big hands, big feet, big head, and my Herman Munster-esque facial features.

I am going to see a neurosurgeon monday and my doctor thinks that there is a 90% chance that he will decide surgery is the way to go.

Well that's my story :(

[thebiggameover]

:aok

but really , that sucks...
:(

[executioneer]

get better :(

[McMock]

Shit. That's a big thing. Lots of strength...

[Supafly345]

My god that would suck. If I had disproportioned limb growth that could have been prevented, I would release some sort of humorous terror on the world.

[Raziel]

dude that sucks.

[liquidstatik]

That sucks. :(

[WhiteRat]

stay strong.

[liquidstatik]

BUT DONT DRINK TO MUCH MILK BECAUSE I HEARD BRAIN TUMORS THRIVE OFF MILK

[Big McLargehuge]

Thanks for the tip ;(

THANKS GUYS FOR WISHING ME A HAPPY BRAIN TUMOR




making jokes helps me deal with it :(

[Cosmo Electrolux]

Be strong, man. Be sure to let us know when you find out more Monday.

[Bass]

Good luck with the tumor.... oh and when they remove it, see if they'll let you keep it afterwards... I mean they should let you kepp it, it's technically yours, you should be able to keep it, name it, put it in a cool jar... at least, that's what I would try and do.

[executioneer]

but whatever you do dont try and clone yourself from the tumor cause the clone will be evil

[AChimp]

You should ask to keep the tumour in a jar.

[Sethomas]

So what's your excuse for a small dick?


(really, it's all love)

[Bass]

Various uses for a removed tumor:

Awesome Halloween gag
Ornament for an aquarium
Chew toy for your pet
A throw pillow

[Bass]

How big do tumors get? The things I'm putting on a list are getting rather large.

[DeadKennedys]

stay strong.

H.A.G.S

[Jixby Phillips]

your BRAINS are benign you filthy jerk!

[The Retro Kat]

DONT CRY CAUSE CRYING IS FOR FAGGOTS AND I HEARD YOURE NOT A FAGGOT

[Big McLargehuge]

if they let me keep the tumor ima dress it up pretty

[Bass]

What are you gonna name it?

[Big McLargehuge]

I'D NAME IT BASS BUT IT IS BETTER THAN YOU BECAUSE HAVING A TUMOR IS LESS OF A PAIN THAN READING A SINGLE ONE OF YOUR POSTS >:

[Big McLargehuge]

HA HA, I DIDN'T MEAN TO BE A JERK BUT I CAN'T HELP IT I HAVE A BRAIN TUMOR

[DeadKennedys]

Name it Sanford and Son.

[executioneer]

or you could just not name it its just a tumor after all :rolleyes

[McMock]

Junior. Junior the tumior.

[Bass]

It's alright, I'd be a jerk if I had a brain tumor... or even if I had a cold

[DeadKennedys]

SHUT UP *BASS*

[McMock]

BASS, that's not funny. You clearly don't know what having a tumor is all about. You shut up or I'll kick you ass so damn hard it will PAINIFY YOUR ASS A LOT.

[liquidstatik]

*KNOCK KNOCK*

[McMock]

OMG. OMG!
WHO IS THERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR?

[Bass]

Alright, I guess I don't have the type of humor that would fiit this kind of situation (which I realize leads me open to the quip "No, You're just not funny"). I was trying to be somewhat uplifting, but I guess that didn't work. I'll stop posting in this thread (unless there's a reason for me to)... Anyways, good luck with the whole operation thing.

[liquidstatik]

Good luck with your operation thing! >:

[Crying Baby Jesus]

Sell it on Ebay!

Get well because your posts actaully count. :(

[ninja wolf]

You could sell it on ebay :) . Or you could just give it to me so I can kill the spawn of satan that lives in my brothers room or at least use it to tame it.

[Crying Baby Jesus]

Sell him to me for I shal Call Him RANDO!

my best friend from eighth grade had a brain tumor when she was about nineteen, and now she doesn't even remember eighth grade anymore.

[Captain Goodtimes]

I hope you get rid of that tumor real sooner, bigmchuger

[Dole]

Hope you get better soon, and thanks for having acromegaly! I always wanted to know someone who had that.

[FS]

[the_dudefather]

get it stuffed and make it a trophy.


and name it krang

seriously tho, hope everything turns out alright

[AChimp]

If you get the tumour removed, will you shrink to normal size?

[Matt Harty]

Good luck with the operation Biggie. :(

[Anonymous]

[quote=Big McLargehuge]my best friend from eighth grade had a brain tumor when she was about nineteen, and now she doesn't even remember eighth grade anymore.
To be perfectly fair, I don't remember eighth grade either.

Biggie, could you smash ArrowX's head between your meaty paws before they remove the tumor and you shrink like the monsters in 'Rampage'? Thanks!

[bigtimecow]

:sympathy

[Mockery]

If you feed your tumor enough beefy manwiches, it will grow up to be big 'n strong and then it will be able to fend for itself in this cruel society which has a tendency to stomp on the johnny-go-tumors of the world. :(

Seriously though, hope you get better.

[Mike]

Brain tumor huh? Well this explains a lot. Thank you for the information.

[Big McLargehuge]

I got an MRI today and if i can't get my parents stupid computer to stop fighting with their stupid scanner i will post a pic :0, it is about the size a a walnut (a normal pituitary gland is the size of a pea). Oh and they took all sorts of x-rays and are gonna put them up on a lightboard in the middle of the hospital reserved for "interesting cases". They also found that the tumor has wrapped around the cartoid (sp?) atery. This complicates the surgery and it is now urgent and can't be put off.

Thanks all for the good wishes.

[glowbelly]

my bf had a brain tumor when he was little and now he's the handsomest devil on the block, so WATCH OUT LADIES!!

[Big McLargehuge]

yeah cept my tumor makes me look like a cave man, but it's alright i already snagged a lady ;)

[ScruU2wice]

good luck on your surgery

[Ninjavenom]

sorry to hear about it. Good luck.

[liquidstatik]

I've never had any internet friend die. :(

that'd suck. :(

[MLE]

PROFESSOR COOL NEVA FORGET >:

[executioneer]

gahh not the carotid artery >: fuck you tumor

[MLE]

seriously though, good luck. i don't normally read your posts, as i tend to skim most posts, but i'm sure you're a nice guy in real life.

Andre the Giant: The Early Years

That is one massive chin, though.

it's the chin/face above that body.

Im not saying your FAT, you just look unbalanced.

Must Be the hair.

I just looked back at the pyph thread, this was after i posted a pic :(

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW :(

[Big McLargehuge]

PS YOU ARE ALL FUCKING JERKS FOR MAKING FUN OF A MAN WITH A CONDITION >:

[Lotida]

sorry to hear about it. Good luck.

[Raziel]

good luck with surgery.

[MrAdventure]

did you not go to the doctor often or what because any doctor worth a crud should be able to notice the signs of acromegaly right off the dang bat so this should have been taken care of a while ago i recommend you sue *yourself* for pickin a lousy doctor!

[Crying Baby Jesus]

No seriously If big were to die these forums would lode a wall and the newbies would jus pour in and be disrespectfull jackasses and make fun of the dead guy.

[DeadKennedys]

lode a wall :rolleyes

[Crying Baby Jesus]

"Lose a wall"

Fuck you edit button

[Anonymous]

why oh why couldn't it be arrowx with the brain tumor :tear

[Crying Baby Jesus]

My rains fucked up enough as it is

Now crotch rot theres something terrible

[Helm]

And fuck your rains right up the butthole

[pjalne]

If you get the tumour removed, will you shrink to normal size?

I think that only works on Buffy, but I'm not sure.

Good luck. When's the operation?

[Girl Drink Drunk]

I also wish you luck with the operation

[Terra]

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Please keep your chin up and realize that we are all hoping for the best. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers and hope that you keep us informed.

Good luck to you.

[Imadjinn]

A while back someone asked what the largest tumor was.

It was a 200+lbs one that no doctor would dare remove due to it being located near the woman's spinal cord I believe. But eventually someone accepted and after several hours of surgery and her losing over 6 times the amount of blood in her body, they finally removed it.

Why the Hell have people been saying good luck? Since when was being a doctor something to do with luck? It's skill, they didn't spend however long they spent learning to be a doctor to flip a coin.

Rant over, hope they succeed, even though I am sure they will!

[Terra]

Wishing "good luck" is for obvious reasons. Up until a certain time, it's been bad luck in whatever the reason for wishing a person "good luck" is/was for. Skill, via the medical profession in this case, has little to do with "good luck."

In fact, if one has to wish a surgeon "good luck," one had better find another fucking doctor real quick. Preferably before the first cut. >:

[Raziel]

I agree.

[FartinMowler]

I was away and drinking beer and having a great time. :) good luck with the tumour :(

[kahljorn]

SOMEBODY QUOTED ME, YAY.

You should take milk thistle! it somehow helps cancer to stop from spreading, could be helpful after you get it removed so it doesnt come back.

[FS]

Plus you'll orgasm through the whole thing.

[kahljorn]

EXACTLY. Surgical orgasm is the greatest thing ever.

[executioneer]

i hope he has the GOOD LUCK to have a talented surgeon instead of one that is constantly high on cocaine

[Crying Baby Jesus]

cut open today tumor is wemoved uhhh...next week

[Jeanette X]

I hope your surgery goes well. I'll say a prayer for you. :(

[HickMan]

get better i love you

[Big McLargehuge]

SOMEBODY QUOTED ME, YAY.

You should take milk thistle! it somehow helps cancer to stop from spreading, could be helpful after you get it removed so it doesnt come back.

It's not cancer. Almost all pitutary tumors are benign, if it were cancer i would be dead by now.



AND THANKS HICKYPOO

[GADZOOKS]

too bad your tumor is not a rumor, and all fun and games with humor

[Dr. V]

Ouchy. Fell better soon.

[Dr. V]

Edit button broken.

[Imadjinn]

For all the morons who can't be bothered to look it up (i.e. me), what is a benign tumor?

I assume it means it isn't infectious or whatever the word is.

[Dole]

Benign means its not expanding/attacking other cells I presume, as the opposite is malignant which spreads and grows.

[Anonymous]

:lol Dole, you kidder!

[Imadjinn]

Dole, you kidder![\quote]
????

Anyway, thanks Dole, that is what I assumed.

The 200+lbs tumor that woman had wasn't malignant either! Now that's incredible

[Imadjinn]

Stupid Edit button. Let's try again.

Dole, you kidder!
????

Anyway, thanks Dole. That is what I assumed.

Can you believe that the 200+lbs tumor wasn't malignant? That's amazing!

[Matt Harty]

this edit thing is driving me crazy!

[Big McLargehuge]

ima name my brain tumor imadjinn >:

[Imadjinn]

Now why would you do a thing like that?!

I have done nothing to you and you come along and say a thing like that...

After I wished you well too...

Well if that's the way you're going to be, I hope Imadjinn kills you!

[sadie]

i was gonna ask if you could be anymore clueless, but i already know the answer.

[Rongi]

good luck with your surgery, biggie. i really hope your doctor knows what he's doing, because if they cut the carotid artery you're fucked :(

[ziggytrix]

hesadjinn wished you well, so you don't have to go to the surgery.

YAY, HAPPY ENDING!

[Big McLargehuge]

Well my surgeon disagrees, i have surgery on the 9th of November. The surgeon i got is one of the leading experts on pituitary tumors (he has done over 1000 of these surgerys), and feels optimististic that he can get 80-90 percent of the tumor on the first go. He then will treat what remains with radiation therapy unless it is too big, in which case he will try another surgery. I have a 60% chance of regaining the vision that i lost,

I also have a 30 percent chance of becoming infertile. The worst thing is that i have to drop out of school for this semester, and i will prolly have to give up a job i just got hired for. After the surgery i will spend about 4 days in the hospital and then be discharged, i can resume normal activity after 2 or 3 weeks, but will not be allowed to blow my nose, sneeze, cough, or lift anything over 5 lbs for 3 months.

[HickMan]

:( Your surgery is when Halo 2 comes out. That REALLY sucks :( jk get better i still love you

[thebiggameover]

that will be cool. when you get out, you can just play that and GTA:SA all day for like months...
:)

[DeadKennedys]

AND EAT ALL THE ICE CREAM YOU WANT :o

[Ninjavenom]

Do you know how exactly you got the tumor?

[Drev]

I remember this one time my pet hamster had a giant tumor on his side, and the other hamsters would gnaw on it until it went away :x

[ArrowX]

thats gors :x

[pjalne]

I also have a 30 percent chance of becoming infertile.

You better masturbate intensly and hoard your treasure in the freezer while there's still time.

[Big McLargehuge]

Do you know how exactly you got the tumor?

They don't know how pituitary adenomas start.



LOOK AT A VIDEO OF WHAT MY SURGERY WILL BE LIKE (www.skullbaseinstitute.com)

[ArrowX]

OMG :x

[Ninjavenom]

But awesome, you get to tell people all about your brain-prodding later on :O

[Big McLargehuge]

Good to hear that you're alive, despite wanting to call the tumor imadjinn.

Maybe you could sell it on Ebay.

[Big McLargehuge]

They managed to remove about 90% of it. And don't feel bad chojin my parents lost their bets too :(.

I am scared for when my pain pills run out!! My head hurts like fuck wheni am not on them :(

[Mr. Oysterhead]

Get any sight back? Loose any fertility?

[Jeanette X]

I read that disctraction is a good remedy for pain. Try to occupy yourself.

[StonerDave]

Press on your eyes for an interesting light show.

[sadie]

doh. you gotta make sure you've got enough pain killers so that you don't run out. glad you're still alive, big guy!

[Dole]

Aye, good to know it went well!

[Terra]

I can remember going through surgery and radiation and not needing the pain pills as much as I needed the nausea medication. But that was five years ago. I think medicine has come a long way in that short of time.

They ought to keep you on the pain meds until the stitches are out shouldn't they?

[Zhukov]

And all this time I thought this thread was a joke. :/

A brain tumor, eh?

[liquidstatik]

Im so glad your alive!

[Big McLargehuge]

The pain pills are for the headaches, i lost a fair amout of cerebral spinal fluid and that causes very painful headaches untill your body can replace it. I don't have any stitches, unless you count the sutures in my stomach from the fat graft.

[Anonymous]

fat graft?

[Dole]

I see a line of Mockers going right down the street offering to donate.

[Anonymous]

With the help of everyone on this forum, ArrowX can acheive the record he's strived for for so very many years.

[Big McLargehuge]

I don't want his fat in my nose :(

[Terra]

Your nose would be the size of Maine if he did. :chatter

[Matt Harty]

hey biggie i have a few questions about tumours.

What kinda doctor did you go to cause i got this weird bump next to my ear, above my jar and I think i'm going to die. :(

Did you go to an ear/throat/eye doctor or whatever?

[Big McLargehuge]

You could prolly just go see your family practitioner and he will tell you it is a cyst or whatever and drain it or something.

I actually went to an opthamologist because my first symptom was loss of vision he sent me in for a CT scan because my eyes are fine and he suspected a problem with my optical nerve.

[Spooky]

hey guys lets stop jerking eachother off and make some quality threads okay

[Big McLargehuge]

I am honored to have a certified vet in my thread!

[Jixby Phillips]

today i found out i dont have toe cancer
