Hi Reddit, this is my first post and I don’t know why am I writing this.
So long story short:
I was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma (not very frequent cancer-like disease) in my 19th, had surgery that removed huge tumor from soft tissues under my knee and subsequent 6 blocks of chemotherapy.
When I was 21 - tumor returned back in the same knee and I had to amputate my leg above the knee.
Now when I am 22 (almost 23) - tumor is back once more but this time in form of metastases (4 of them) spread around my body.
I am on chemo once again but doctors say that my disease cannot be cured and I have anywhere between a couple of months and a couple of years left to live.
I just started living my life the way I wanted (I was working as software developer for my relatives since 14 years old, wanted to secure early retirement and worked 70-80 hours a week) and deciding what I like and don’t like, what experiences I want to have, taking my own decisions, etc.
My mood throughout my disease was (and still is) heavily optimistic even though I do regret many things and decisions in my life.
Sorry for bad English grammar, it’s not my native language.
