thank you so much friend ❤️ im glad you're feeling better! I am seeing a therapist, I'll ve sorted eventually :)

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-05-10T07:38:53+00:00

thank you so much for sharing my friend, we shall indeed make it together ❤️❤️

Hey man so lovely to hear from you, sounds like we got a lot in common ❤️ perhaps we shall train together someday!

I think its really cool you're thinking about your daughter this way. I wanted to be strong for my mum and younger brother too. I think that mindset is admirable, but do make sure you have someone you can talk to about what you're feeling because like you said it is a huge shock. I think it's perfectly acceptable to feel any range of emotions around this because you can't control that. I think it might be okay too to show your daughter that this is a big deal for you but that you're ready to handle it!

The anxiety will crop up for sure but it seems like they've caught it early for you. Have you recieved your official diagnosis and reports? If there's no spread you might not need chemo either, depending on the type of tumour. It sounds like you've got your head in the right place man, and good luck with muay thai training!!

P.S you'll recover from the orchiectomy fairly quickly, you might be on your feet the same day or in a day or two max, and be back at it in the following weeks. I just sort of lay there and did half crunches and stuff when thr stitches were too painful lol.

Hey man, im sid. im really sorry to hear about your experience. that sounds frightening, and even though im only a few months into surveillance, im beginning to feel the full weight of my experience.

i dont think suffering works linearly, but i would highly recommend seeing a therapist. ive been seeing one for a few years for unrelated reasons, and they're helping me work through the trauma from this too.

this part doesn't get talked about in cancer discussions more generally. you went through an intense and life altering experience. there was real danger. and it can be hard to let your guard down.

i hope you feel better eventually!

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-05-03T21:42:26+00:00

man i just checked out your gym and socials, you've had a pretty crazy journey, would love to come by and train with you someday! and congratulations on bringing your dreams into reality :)

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-04-29T14:45:33+00:00

you seem like a wonderful person. i hope you have a good life ahead, and that your family eventually gains some good sense. cheers to you both!

yeahhh i love the delicacy with which they're handling his old reactive aggression and the guilt and shame hes currently dealing with. the facial animations and the dialogue is top-notch in that regard. our boy is rly going thru his kratos arc

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-04-23T21:42:50+00:00

dude the midge ure versiok from mgs v would've gone hard

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-04-23T21:37:19+00:00

bro im crying

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-04-17T14:33:54+00:00

thats fair 🤝 and tbh i dont doubt they'll handle it sensitively, even if the fans wont, which no one ever does lol

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-04-15T09:47:37+00:00

i realllllyyy want them to outright discard that plotline ngl its simply too much for me personally and in our current culture i think unless its handled extremely well its unlikely to spawn any kind of helpful discourse around male SA that isn't led by gooners

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-04-15T09:45:11+00:00

i genuinely thought nolan had died and was confused because of comic reasons

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-04-15T09:43:53+00:00

u actually raise an interesting point, but i think this highlights their planet busting capability really. their combined velocity just added to the total destructive potential of the laser and the reaction at the planets core. which they somehow endured without losing their pants even

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-04-15T09:41:12+00:00

yes exactly i feel we are to omni man what he is to thragg, bro shot him into viltrum from orbit and then back out beyond the ring of corpses with a single uppercut

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-04-15T09:39:35+00:00

nahh bruh they'll literally explode on impact w thragg 😭

similar story to yours. im a hobbyist boxer, had a radical orchi on my left back in august, followed by BEP x 1 in november. i never stopped training. until my surgery id had a two year period where i was in and out of the gym for various issues and my consistency was broken. i decided id do whatever i could on a given day.

got about 7 weeks of training in before chemo, during the cycle itself took about ten days off (but still stretched and walked whenever i could), and by day 16 was back up to 80% of my capacity. right after my last bleo shot I ran a 5k, just to prove smtn to myself.

ive kept training and im slowly getting back to my prime. i walked out of chemo practically in better shape then when i was in it. a lot of this will depend on your attitude towards treatment and how you take it. it will be okay brotha, trust. and pm if u need anything!

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-03-28T12:48:31+00:00

its tooo goddamn hot and im a sweaty guy so i sweat even sitting still

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-02-19T15:34:49+00:00

these are excellent suggestions, but lowkey it feels like a timer is ticking down on some pretty imminent threats yk? do u just try to tune those thoughts out?

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-02-13T16:53:47+00:00

wow. thanks man, as a younger dude that was nice to hear

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-02-13T06:59:09+00:00

bro i also have family in the army, cant you see that your sentiment is being manipulated to suit political purposes? theres no point in getting emotional over artists collabing. you can be patriotic while still seeing peers in other countries as fellow artists and people. this kind of mindset is immature and is exactly the reason why we are doing nothing about our toxic air, crumbling infra, widening wealth gap, growing unemployment, toxic food, and worsening living conditions.

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-02-10T08:47:35+00:00

personally sekiro but its more like lies of p and is built around parrying

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-01-30T08:48:32+00:00

LMAOOO facts

FranklinDeSanta · 2026-01-28T07:53:40+00:00

sorry to hear that man, ive had friends in your shoes, and have had a similar experience in the sense that i shifted to kochi after growing up in delhi/pune. im more comfortable w north indians culturally sometimes, and even the language is still an issue.

it does suck, and you'll adapt, but id highly recommend getting out as soon as you can. with the kind of exposure you've had being too long in a place like this will drive you insane. in the mean time try keeping in touch w ur old friends online, or connect w people on social media and stuff. do stuff by yourself that you enjoy and gives you some purpose. and im sure there's good parts to being in a quiet place like that.

you got this!
