So was just diagnosed with a tumor in my throat

Idk what to do. Life just became worse for me. I started having throat problems about 2 months ago and ended up losing my voice several times. I finally got checked and was diagnosed with a tumor in my larynx. Idk where to even start. Do I just give up? Idk. have been crying all day but I guess there is no use in shedding anymore tears. so much for working on an album this year. I honestly thought this was gonna be my year. God I feel so stupid for trying to be positive and telling myself that things were somehow gonna magically get better.

I'm terribly sorry. But I read in a reply that they're saying it's a 50/50 chance. It's not clear-cut that you'll be okay, but those odds are still a lot better than most. There's a chance you'll pull through -- try to hold on to that as much as you can. Here's hoping for the best.

@Ducky Jesus Christ. Seriously, if you'd just been told you had been diagnosed with cancer would you really appreciate someone telling them what you just told this guy??? Give your head a wobble FFS!

@Lanie78 Actually, I'd be a heck of a lot more appreciative of someone at least trying to be optimistic than someone providing nothing but negativity as you're doing. I think you ought to give your head a wobble.

@Ducky Telling someone they've a 50% chance of dying isn't optimistic. Tact clearly isn't your strong point.

@Lanie78 I acknowledged the reality of the situation while also expressing there's hope to found. Which is a lot better than what you've done only criticizing me for my comment when you [b]still[/b] haven't even posted your own. What nerve! How toxic does one have to be to go on a very serious post such as this one and not even bother to offer their condolences, but just adds more negativity by stirring up drama instead? Don't answer that and just be a decent human being and stop. Regardless, I have nothing else to say to you.

@Ducky A decent human being wouldn't mention death. The OP no doubt would already know the potential outcome of this diagnosis. You've a warped mind, thinking any of what you've commented is decent. Btw, I'm currently speaking with the OP in DM. To assume I've said nothing to him, is just plain ignorant. Enjoy your day now.
