I found out my cancer is incurable. It got me thinking. Since I'm dying, what should I do while I'm still alive? What is on your bucket list?

I suggest all of us mongers on here give up one session next 30 days and contribute that amount to a Kayleehotchick travel and bucket list fund. We wont even miss it and this small amount will bring her joy and opportunity.
Kaylee, do you have a go fund me bucket list account?

Im sorry girl, Kayleehotchick. Cancer is a fucking bitch, I've seen many people dying from it, and some people has won the battle against it.

Im not a doctor but i think there are many things much worse than cancer.

I wish you the best

But if I was gonna die soon, I would max out my credit cards and have
orgies everyday, eat any food, and travel to each continent, and i would spend time with my family, and i would
donate my organs to science.

Sorry to hear it. I often thought what I would do. My thoughts are like what you are thinking. I would continue to live my life, but I would turn it up some and do some things I always wanted. I wouldn't hold back on anything.
Kaylee,
Even though I have not had the pleasure of meeting you, I am saddened by this news. Your undaunted spirit is an inspiration for us all and it reminded me of a poem I would like to share with you if I may.

"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain."



"When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die."


---- Mary Elizabeth Frye


When my time comes I hope I will face it as courageously and gracefully as you.

I hope the rest of your days are filled with joy.
You need to look into clinical trials for Amino Therapy and Genetic virus mutation therapy. This is the future of curing cancer. It's already had major success. I'm a doctor.
Rome, Paris, Athens then go to the TX Hill Country and enjoy life as it plays out, sorry for your plight.

I had a similar thought. There are so many new therapies being announced these days. Many of them take advantage of Genetic techniques that are now available. You should ask your oncologist if all those options have been explored. And, if he/she isn't helpful get a second opinion. Perhaps you have already covered these things, but if not it's worth asking.

Awwwww thank you guys. I love the bucket lists and the well wishes.

I'm going to give a certain oil a shot this summer. Also, I'm going to say fuck it and throw caution to the wind and visit some national parks this summer (If I'm still here).

I am responding to the chemo it just they won't be able to shrink the tumors enough to get me in remission. So, instead I'm going to just ENJOY this ride in my vessel while I can. :-)

You have a special place in my heart as you were my first after I joined eccie. We talked about life, SCUBA (if I remember correctly you were about to leave on an extended trip and were going to do some diving), and your calming nature overcame any nervousness I had. You've received some great advice here, and this from me (I recently lost my SO of many years to another cruel illness): go make memories with, and for, your loved ones while you still can.
Much Love

You have gotten some pretty awesome offers, I hope you enjoy whatever it is you get to do and create lasting memories with your family and friends. God bless you
I am deeply sorry you are going through this. I wish I had the right words to say but I dont.

Please make sure all of your stuff is in order and all your last wishes are written down. In Texas no will takes awhile to probate your estate.

If there is a gofundme account set up please let me know so I can donate. Thank you

Thinking of you.

Kaylee, sorry to hear the news. Last week it was my baby brother's passing. Cancer took him from us and there is no words to tell you how sorry I am to hear you are going through this. Like Taylor said, let us know if there is a gofundme account.
