Lesion is benign but…

Posted on February 12, 2026 by L. Jacob

Got the report back. The lesion itself is benign. However the surrounding cells are cancerous, specifically adrenal cancer cells. Of all things! I am supposed to see the doctor on the 16th, and hopefully will get clarification then.

Cancer. Again.

Posted on January 19, 2026 by L. Jacob

I went for an MRI of my liver on January 16. I got the results via the portal on Sunday. “Consistent with metastazised disease.” Doctor-speak for cancer. This is the second time for me; the first being kidney cancer in … Continue reading →

Don’t be honest with Dah Man

Posted on January 9, 2026 by L. Jacob

So, I thought I’d be honest with the government and tell them that my utility bills have nearly tripled since I was in rehab. All of them. I went on our Medicaid website and updated my bills, which hadn’t been … Continue reading →
