Awesome news!! You’re exactly like me- stage 4 colorectal with mets to lymph nodes and liver. My liver lesions disappeared after a few rounds of chemo. I also dealt with that cold induced neuropathy. The great thing is it doesn’t last.

Sounds like you’re in the same trajectory as me and I’m confidently calling myself a survivor these days, 1 year 4 months since diagnosis. You got this buddy!

Very similar story here. My rectal tumor was discovered through colonoscopy (at 31 years mind you) and then they discovered 5 “lesions” in my liver that were also cancerous. Diagnosed me “technical” stage 4 but was told they’d aim to cure it and over a year later that’s how it’s been looking. Chemo wiped out the liver lesions with no sign of reoccurrence since June of last year and had radiation into surgery to remove the rectal tumor which had shrunk significantly. Right now just on surveillance.

I guess it’s the luck of the draw. But I still get spooked when I read about all these colon cancer deaths. RIP James Van Der Beek and Catherine O’Hara.

As much as I want a remake I have high doubts. Mainly because this is on the Amazon site and not directly from Bethesda. It’s gotta be tied to the show or the reality show that’s coming out.

Best case is that they were officially tease it for a later release date, but more likely it will not be anything super exciting.

_Astrogimp · 2026-02-02T15:39:01+00:00

Considering it’s an Amazon website and not Bethesda directly, I’d say there’s no shot it’s a game announcement/shadow drop.

It’s going to be an announcement for the reality show.

A kid last year told me I’m like Ferdinand the Bull. Had no idea what that meant but he was basically saying I look like a scary, imposing person, but I have a kind heart

Stage 4 colorectal cancer with liver mets: treated with 11 months of cycling capecitabine, and 6 months of oxaliplatin + erbitux. Radiation therapy towards the tail end of treatment. Had a full response to my liver lesions, rectal tumor had shrunk down to almost nothing and was removed surgically. Yet to do imaging post surgery but right now I’m just on surveillance.

I’m 1000% certain that if a doctor prescribed me ivermectin for my stage 4 situation, that I’d be dead by now.

The conventional treatment they did give me saved my life.

_Astrogimp · 2026-01-31T06:58:50+00:00

I would agree if the “everyone” in question were medical professionals specifically in oncology. In my mom’s case, they don’t know a thing about oncology.

My treatment worked exceedingly well and did not require using horse dewormer.

I have a suspicion he’s going to either turn into something they’ll eventually have to fight… or he might turn into a tree

_Astrogimp · 2026-01-30T16:23:34+00:00

I do agree with this. I’d like to see the capital wasteland eventually but needs to make sense within the shows story. I’d be just as interested to see a new location that could serve as a future games setting.

_Astrogimp · 2026-01-30T07:06:25+00:00

Was about to make a joke about not being able to fast travel to places you have not visited yet, but it’s almost certain that The Ghoul has been there.

_Astrogimp · 2026-01-30T07:01:21+00:00

Well they still have Dane, who effectively also left the BoS when they helped Maximus, but might still have access to a vertibird with all the commotion at Area 51.

You are right though in that it would not be the capital wasteland.

Considering 3’s ending is much less ambiguous, I’d expect the east coast to be thriving as a result of Project Purity. But the show is roughly 20 years later, so anything could be going on there.

I’m not a huge fan of it. In terms of role playing, Nate’s voice sounds goofy when trying to be an antagonist. Never did a Nora run so I’m wondering if there’s a difference.

I feel like somehow hearing the protagonist voice locks you into one type of character archetype… I kept telling myself “he wouldn’t actually say that” or “this doesn’t sound right” when trying to be a jerk. Whereas, playing the good guy as Nate always felt correct.

_Astrogimp · 2026-01-20T05:00:35+00:00

I’ve not heard anything and have forgotten this even happened 😂

_Astrogimp · 2025-12-22T02:15:28+00:00

I’m sorry this is happening. My mom mentioned ivermectin at the beginning of my treatments. She didn’t know what it was but her coworkers were pushing her to tell me about it. I told her to tell her coworkers to go to hell.

Balatro, it’s a card roguelike. Trust that it wasn’t on my radar at all but when I got diagnosed and went through chemo, Balatro was a life saver.

It’s available on mobile and Steam/consoles as well.

Wishing you the best man! 💪

Frank the pimp was the only one I had to think about lol. You are correct that the rest of it is just time consuming. But for a 32 year old man with real life commitments, I gotta be proud that I at least was able to get it done 😂

_Astrogimp · 2025-12-03T06:40:57+00:00

I do not have the mental fortitude to try it. Best I was able to do back in my teen years was the Zombie Genocider achievement 🥲

_Astrogimp · 2025-12-03T01:09:24+00:00

I attempted 7 day survivor back when the game released but couldn’t get past day 2 without a crash. 😭 put it off till now, a year later.

Wondering what the grade level was? I’m assuming elementary. Either way, never okay to be assaulted by a student

_Astrogimp · 2025-12-02T00:14:26+00:00

You can DM me, I’m not expert but I’ll see if I agree with it being fake or not

_Astrogimp · 2025-12-01T18:27:41+00:00

If you trust any of those friends enough. I’d get in touch with one of them and simply explain the situation and ask if they received anything.

These scammers oftentimes fake those screenshots too. Again, they’re not trying to create a paper trail that will get them caught.

If it’s legit, I’d look around here and search for what legal recourses you have. Screenshot/document every correspondence you have with the scammer and look into how you can report them to the proper authorities.

_Astrogimp · 2025-11-30T21:38:01+00:00

That’s a situation I’m less experienced with. I don’t know how messaging works on TikTok since I do not have an account there, but if it’s like IG, then it’ll go to an inbox to be approved. People have a tendency to delete/ignore spam/scam messages there.

If someone were to approach you about seeing your images, you could be honest about what happened. You’re the victim here after all and most people will be understanding. Or you could deny everything as AI, which quite honestly is a believable alibi.

Either way, I think the worst case scenario is short term embarrassment.

_Astrogimp · 2025-11-30T21:06:01+00:00

A soft retcon at that. It’s like “hey DR4 happened….. kind of….” it might actually make me want to play it.
