Update: the colorectal surgeon has come back with an option of reinserting the GJ tube. It would keep my stomach decompressed to avoid bowel obstructions.
I am contemplating this or hospice. Having the GJ this year led to 2.5 months of pain and suffering. I fought so hard to get it removed.
How will I do with the minute-by-minute pain from it? What is if I never gain weight and I’m stuck with it for the rest of my life?
Tonight is the hardest night of my life. Too many changes in one day.
This is my last post for tonight. I need to think what is worth it.
@Todd_Spence A real showman! Such a brilliant concept to have Shatner open that ceremony and he knocked it out of the park! (When he says, “I can do Star Wars” you can hear Harrison Ford laughing it up!)
@jeffperera The Secret Service did a great job tonight, but I agree with you. Vance’s team got him off stage much quicker and the President’s seemed to lag a bit…
It’s wild how secret service quickly rushed Vance off stage while Trump is still oblivious as to what’s happening (Melania notices first that something was happening)
Hi everyone. In case where I have been lately, I have been in the hospital. My cancer has spread. I don’t have time much left. As of Vanished Chicagoland the future will be a family decision. Thank you! For my making this fun. I love you all! And god bless!
@snufflewort Congratulations on the anniversary! You have held many of our hands supporting us along the way and we couldn’t be more thrilled and happy for your healthy anniversary!
A message for my online friends around the world! (Volume up!) Apologies for the shaky camera work but I wanted to cut my cancer survivor cake with you! Love to all!

I’m 39 and feeling fine… literally! Proud member of the Stage IV no evidence of disease cancer club on this pass around the sun. Grateful to spend it with this guy
@janee7489 I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my sister Beth to ovarian cancer and am a stage 4 cancer survivor myself. Cancer robs us of so many beautiful people far too young. May your sister rest in peace.
@BrentCorrigan You look great at any age. What a blessing it is that you are still with us and healthy and happy. Disregard negative assholes. They’d kill to look as good as you do right now. Keep on keepin’ on good man.
Some people are saying I got fat - all from a selfie where I just wanted to share my cute new haircut. Well…I’m just grateful to be here. As a TBI survivor, it’s tough just getting through each day anymore. To everyone who left a supportive comment - I LOVE YOU!
Once again, to reiterate: @Michaeljos92972 is a legit account for Mike Whelan.
I'm on call with him. This is a man who lost his wife and is distraught about everything going on in terms of having to deal with a Twitter hacker, of all things.
I definitely was skeptical and perpetrated more skepticism, which I feel like garbage about now. That's not the point, though... my feelings are not damaged to the level his are.
If you've levied accusations or had doubts, they may have been based on reason because the internet is weird, especially as far as dealing with scammers.
But this new account is not the scammer, and we have to support Mike. Thanks for being patient, and to Mike, I'm very sorry to have furthered the pain.

It was very kind of you to write this! I had followed the new account, but have chosen to unfollow over the hacking concerns. Hopefully it will all get resolved so that we can know which account is real and can be followed safely. The poor guy has enough going on and I hope the hacker somehow gets trapped in a septic tank….
Michael Whelan was the first person that personally welcomed me to cancer Twitter years ago.
He messaged me warmly, shared his personal story, and reassured me about my stage 4 melanoma diagnosis.
He talked about his advocacy for himself and his wife, and introduced me to other patients, advocates, and resources. He has always been loud and kind about what we need to do in order to protect each other online.
Recently, his wife Rebecca passed away, which is such a dissonant torture for someone who has spent much of the last decade+ fighting to survive in his own right. I can't fathom how that feels, and as someone who just got engaged, it is an eye-opener for me. I pray I die before my wife, but that's neither here nor there. I have stage 4 melanoma and we're in our 30's; the money's on her 😂
Regardless, Mike's account also got hacked. He had a huge following and a great history there, and it is undoubtedly the worst timing for him to be effectively deplatformed. His new handle is @Michaeljos92972.
If you know him, follow again. If you don't know him, follow along. He's such a good dude, and while a Twitter account is not his biggest concern I'm sure... it's still a concern.
Let's help out.
