First chemo
December 1 2015 I was diagnosed with stomach cancer
Second chemo
I wasn't about to let it beat me
Third chemo
Although it tried
Ready or not
March 2 2016 My surgeon and I cut the beast out
Chicks dig scars
Sternum to belly button they cut me open
The second incision from shoulder blade to under arm, to remove a rib and get at my esophagus
Recovery
Post-op ICU
Anything worth it ain't easy
It didn't keep me down though, I got up and walking day 1
Almost done
Post op chemo
Ring the bell !
Today I rang the bell, I am done ! I beat cancer!
I also want to thank my wife, I couldn't have done it without @babybluebubble

Congrats op!!! I beat cancer too a while ago but no one ever told me I was supposed to ring a bell after lol
MonteBurns
I didn't have a bell either!
TheBeardedSeaBass
They just put the bell up the day before I got to ring it. Thank you and congrats to you also.
SteveMND
Not all hospitals, centers, etc., have a bell, but it's tradition to ring it after your final appointment at a lot of places.
babyfaces
you went three rounds in the ringer and came out even stronger than before. congrats!! kick some cancer butt
TheBeardedSeaBass
Thank you.
TheGreenHornet
Should have opted for the testicular cancer. That's what I went with and the scar is much smaller. Always gotta do things the hard way eh ;)
TheBeardedSeaBass
I did not know that that was an option. Thank you for telling me now. I do like to make things difficult.

Frinedel
Okay I don't get the downvotes getting healthy advice is bad? Stay fat and ugly yall
Eoko
You got downvoted because this dude beat cancer and you're sitting here judging him. Healthy advice isn't bad but it has a time and place.
TheBeardedSeaBass
Thank you.

Did they remove just part of your stomach. Do you have a tube feed now? I'm just curious not prying. How your eating since then.
TheBeardedSeaBass
They took 1/3 of my stomach and the bottom of my esophagus. I do have a feeding tube but I don't use it. Eating has been different.
Dalylah
Now I'm even more curious. How do you eat and what do you eat?
TheBeardedSeaBass
I eat like normal but smaller. I have to make sure to sit up to keep food down because I have nothing to keep it in my stomach.
Dalylah
I'm sorry you had to go through it all but glad you gave it the beat down! Also, props to your sweet wife. :)
TriggerWarning
Wow, but then what do you do with the candy you find in bed after you wake up?
CrazyCatLad
wuuuuuut. Ugh. Sorry and props for fucking cancer up.
TheBeardedSeaBass
Thank you.
Toby1066
Yes mate! Ring the fuck out of the bell!
skorch
Can someone tell me the significance of the bell? Mobile doesn't let me read the plaque.
clitoricalquestion
You get to ring it once your treatment regimens are completed and you're clean. it's an incredible moment for all those involved.
DrFartstheTRex
Hospital I work at has these too. It's always a really happy moment.

I did a very loud "woohoo!" for you. Now, start working on getting that majestic beard back on, the pirate ship needs you back asap.
TheBeardedSeaBass
Oh it will be back.
GregPilcher
From another bearded brother, welcome back to the land of the living without the big C. Grow that redbeard long.
TheBeardedSeaBass
It will be back only it looks like it is going to be white now.
