Random question: What happened to the 12oz Buy, Sell, & Trade sub-forum? I've got some oontz stuff to sell.

Ayyyyyy symbols! It's truly great to see you on here again. Don't be a stranger. A close friend of mine was also diagnosed not too long ago. He had surgery to remove the spot on his lung. Since early winter I think 4 or 5 of my friends have been diagnosed with some form of cancer. I need to get the ball rolling on the new Polaroid book.

God damn dude that sounds like a brutal roller coaster ride of health issues. Glad you're doing better! I will say that I was in really good spirits last summer even when on the oral chemo meds. I think being outside and getting shit done around the house/yard helps keep the mind and body occupied and active. I usually love winter and snow, but this year the cold and (in)voluntary lockdown has tested my mental health. PM me if you want to chat on the side. No pressure.

@One Man BannedThat soundtrack is my fucking jam. Also, the Spawn soundtrack had some incredible songs.

As far as I know (and the attending Doctors) my condition began from acid reflux (GERD) and must have evolved into what is called Barret's esophagus. Essentially, stomach acid eroded the lowest part of the esophagus and cancerous cells grew around the lining. I had not clue this was happening. I rarely ever had heartburn. It wasn't until I had difficulty swallowing food/drink and some intense chest pain that I sought medical advice. At that point it was too late and the cancer had metastasized to other spots (stomach, liver, and lymph nodes). Stage 4 for esophageal adenocarcinoma means surgery

Def looks like it based on the cover. First pressing cover had a sort-of blueish tint to them. Side note: Any Glassjaw fans out there? I was able to snag a pre-order for a recent repress of their Coloring Book EP. It comes as three rings, 7", 10", and 12"

My initial hope for this thread was to start an overarching dialog about cancer and for people to share their experiences (personal, family, or friends). Unfortunately it seems to have devolved into me checking in every so often as proof of my being alive. I came back to 12oz to reconnect with a lot of you guys because I remember how supportive/chill everyone was, despite never meeting most of you in person. Ironically, I share more on here than I do on Instagram or Facebook (because fuck those sites). When something inevitable does happen to me I am sure @jbrshmonsterwould be one
