I'll make sure all condolences are passed on to his wife and family, I hope they know how much of an online presence he was.
Ailsa, is there an online condolence page somewhere that we could write on?

I don't know, I'll find out and post a link if there is.

RIP Onimo. My family has some connections to his family, and whenever I'd hear his name raised it would be about how lovely he was. I'm not sure I ever met him myself (maybe when I was very very young), but I'm glad that in the context of this weird corner of the internet I got to see how lovely he was too.

Well I can officially join this thread, unfortunately. But fortunately the working diagnosis (marginal zone lymphoma) is much better than we feared, and should be highly treatable with non-chemo infusion drugs. It's been a bit of a ride that I won't go into, but I'm feeling positive about the prospect of finally coming to a diagnosis and treatment plan.
― Random Restaurateur (Jordan), Thursday, 29 June 2023 18:06 (ten months ago) link
I'm so sorry to hear about that Jordan, but glad to hear it seems to be treatable. much warmth to you as you enter your treatment plan
― sad Mings of dynasty (Neanderthal), Thursday, 29 June 2023 18:10 (ten months ago) link
Thanks. Two weird random things:
-Last night I had these crazy night sweats, literally covered in visible sweat and the sheets were soaked through. But this morning I felt the best I have in days (even after a bone marrow biopsy).
-A few days ago I picked up a Costco avocado, like I do most mornings, and got instant contact dermatitis. Probably unrelated (?) but weird.

That's rough news Jordan. Take care and I hope the meds aren't too unpleasant!

Appreciate the posts. <3
It might sound weird but after months of just dealing with this as a possible auto-immune thing with low platelets (and recently, my enlarged spleen pressing on my stomach and making eating difficult, this after I'd already just come off a colitis flare, and tried a bunch of restricted diets before that just to see if it helped), I'm feeling very positive about getting to an underlying cause. And assuming the bone marrow biopsy comes back as expected, this seems like one of the less aggressive and treatable varieties out there.
― Random Restaurateur (Jordan), Friday, 30 June 2023 19:18 (ten months ago) link
All the best Jordan. And fuck cancer, obvs.

It turned out it's a different type (hairy cell leukemia, even more rare), but with a similarly good prognosis. I've got a marathon of gigs this weekend and then starting chemo on Monday (which I'm actually quite eager about, because the constant bloating/gastro issues have been rough).
― Random Restaurateur (Jordan), Friday, 14 July 2023 15:23 (nine months ago) link
recommendation time: find a sort of mindless but creative activity to do when yr going through chemo. helps a lot.
