not great news, but also not that bad, i suppose. my family is all optimistic. thanks again for the good thoughts/prayers/vibes, guys.

sorry man. hopefully they get it under control and he has a lot of time left.

how old is he now sk?

by **SK790** » Thu Jan 28, 2016 13:26:24

59. His young age is why the doctors are optimistic of it going in to remission.

good to hear he is at a good age to recover. still has plenty of years to curse your name!

glad it isnt worst case scenario. hope you can get back home soon too.

I'll be flying back this summer if not sooner. I was actually trying get get my parents to come out here for me and my mom's birthdays (3 days apart) in April so I might do it then instead.

SK, so sorry to hear about your dad. A good friend works in San Diego in cancer research, and he's essentially told me we aren't that far from cancer being like diabetes- people just live with it. Stage IV is obviously serious, and I have three people in the congregation who received a Stage IV diagnosis, and it's not necessarily the death sentence it was even a few years ago, as you probably know.

I think it's a super weirdo dogmatic "Catholic" thing since at one point it was Church doctrine that the universe was geocentric.

come again

The albeit limited number of flat-earther videos/rebuttals I've seen were made by fringe lunatic Catholic sects.

59 is too young, much too young. Hope your dad pulls through SK.

not joking about this - I used to go to a lot of dive bars in SF, like the seedy ones in the Tenderloin, and there's one old guy I met who I think might be PtK. He wore skull rings, talked about how America is over and had really fancy shoes like PtK wears.

I think the guy's name is Youseff but I've learned to tune out so quickly now that it doesn't even register with me who the poster is.

by **Youseff** » Thu Jan 28, 2016 17:59:05

I meant IRL, though, like statistically speaking at least a couple of us are that guy. time for some inward reflection.

My aunt was 57 when diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer and she died 9 months later. Hoping for the best, SK
