FP Edit: I think I'm doing this right.
For those asking in comments:
I was diagnosed with X-linked Childhood Onset Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy
Same disease as in Lorenzo's Oil and we shared the same doctors.
It was terminal. I had just watched my brother become a vegetable and eventually die 5 years after my treatment.
My wish was to get slimed at Nickelodeon Studios
I am an aspiring comedian and I joke about it. This is how I cope.

I thought those kids are supposed to die... hence getting to make said wish

my sister had cancer when she was 9. it was hard watching other children come to the events with the cancer society one year and then (1)
bunnyrut
not being there the next. she survived and it gave hope to other families. my step-dad works for disney now and donates his free tickets.

I had a teacher who was divorced with three kids and one of them had brain cancer. His MAW was a family cruise. Beat the cancer. Free cruise

Who needs doctors when you have positive vibes?

i thought you were dead? do you have to pay back the wish because you didn't die?
EngineeringComedy
That's one of my stand up routines. I say they invited me back and was forced to work "It's a small word" I'm 5'4". Visual Humor.

personel, honest, and self-deprecating without being self-loathing or mean... solid bit.
MargoMcKnew
Oh! That's cool.

Contundo

EverythingIPostIsOC
All a part of the plan... MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Talk about not living up to your end of the deal.

You're a comedian? I've recently written a solid 3 1/2 minutes of stand-up, but I live in the literal middle of nowhere with no comedy clubs
EngineeringComedy
Yeah, some of my material stems from all my medical crap I went through. Been lucky enough to live in cities so I can perform.
jawnnyrawten
You have anything on YouTube?

Here's an old video. haven't recorded myself in a long time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y87VU9hQ8Ko

Good stuff, man!

For the confused people in the comments make a wish grants wishes to kids who have life threatening illness, it doesn't have to be terminal
Snooj
We're not confused, we're just disappointed when kids don't die.
EngineeringComedy
Mine was terminal. Was a bit disappointed when I found out they wished to life-threatening.
januaryonlakestreet
Why on earth would you be disappointed? Any kid that goes through a life-threatening illness deserves a wish
EngineeringComedy
They knew it was terminal because my brother had it and died. Also there was no treatment, I was part of the first experiments for treatment
juiceboxxe
My mum is alive thanks to experimental treatments. I'm glad yours worked for you also.
SuckAnElf
1. Lucky! & I've a friend who's kid has gotten a dream vacation b/c of make a wish even though his disease isn't terminal, so I'm grateful
SuckAnElf
2. for it. Just because the kid may not die doesn't mean they don't deserve something to escape the everyday horror of pain and hospitals
SuckAnElf
3. And like you said, you didn't even die from it, so how can they determine if something is terminal or not? Better safe than sorry, and do
SuckAnElf
4. something for kids who have a life threatening illness, because they may die, you never know. My friend's son could still die any day.

Did you wish to live?

If so great plan and you're selfish for not sharing it with all the others

Glad you're still here to browse Imgur with us... if you don't mind me asking, what did/do you have?

So what did they use to treat it?
