[UPDATE]
i am going into hospital tonight to get the cancer cut out of my foot. They also have to cut out a lump they dont know if thats cancer to but they will just cut it out just in case. When my operation is complete i will be off work and off school so ill have alot of time on my hands so i will probably be able to come on the forums more.

How did they manage to get the "cancer out of your foot" within seven hours? Does it not usually take several days? And how the hell did you manage to get surgery done at night?

Oh, and you never answered my question on what type of Cancer it was.
RE: good bye for a while by Sunshine on 11-27-2005 at 02:50 PM
Wich stage melanoma do you have? Or is it another sort? Surely they told you something...
RE: good bye for a while by nikki on 11-27-2005 at 02:52 PM
boy, you people can be so mean and so quick to judge someone who has previously spammed.
have any of you ever been in hospital for an operation? i kinda doubt it, coz if you had, you would know that they get you to go in the night before so they can make you fast for something like 12 hours and keep an eye on you before the operation the next day.
i've been into hospital as late as 10pm for an operation the next day, depending what time they plan on doing it. joel never said he was getting operated on tonight. he said he was going into hospital tonight.
And as for the type of cancer and whether it is benign or malignant, they will know more when they have removed it and tested it.
@ joel. I hope everything goes well for you.

anyways
my local time 4:41am is 1.41pm for him, so do the math...

joelm, if the things you said are true, then I wish you all the best...
But if it indeed is an attention cry, then this is certainly not cool at all, especially by using something severe as cancer!!
RE: good bye for a while by nikki on 11-27-2005 at 03:11 PM
Well he posted his update early afternoon melbourne time (around 2pm), so he still had several hours before nightfall and several hours to continue posting here.
some people here are just too quick to judge and accuse someone of lying.

True, but after removing a chunk of someone's foot they'd have to keep them hospitalized for a while at least

I'm still "reserved"...I simply showed the screenshot because I begun to have some doubts because of the previous posts of others (and more to show that he posted more than only at 2pm and 7 hours later as first suggested by Shawnz).
I know he is on a different timezone, but didn't figured out yet his true local times... Otherwise I would have posted that aswell...

i didnt know people go to operations as big as this just a few hours before.
Even then, it is quite common that even for big operations people can stay home right before the operation. And often they can leave the hospital very quickly too (depening on operation to operation). It isn't like it used to be that people need to be in hospital for x days prior to operation and keep in hospital for x weeks afterwards. Many types of operations are very strait forward these days and depending on which kind of operation people are even sometimes dismissed after a few hours (even with big operations as a heart surgery like bypasses).
--------
All this said, since joelm posted his "last update"-post at 2pm, it means that his last post in the thread "paris riots" was send in the evening, prior to going to hospital.
So all the accusations done here are totally ungrounded in every way, and I wish some people stopped doing that...
I'm sorry I even doubted (because of what others said) his postings...

Okay cookie! Lets think about this!
He walks in to a hospital at midnight on a sunday, they immediately take him to the operating room, cut the cancer out of his foot, slap a cast on and he leaves!
Miracle surgery.

What i would like to ask the others is, whatever happened to being innocent before being proven guilty? that's how the law works here in australia and 2 of the people raising doubts about his honesty are also from here, so why should it be any diffferent on these forums?
If it was any of the members who have been here longer, those doubts wouldn't have been raised. but it's because he is relatively new here, and has been known to spam, that he hasn't been accepted by the rest of the community.
How many people who have accused him of lying will rush to apologise if he is being truthful? none? That's what i expect even though i'm sure many of the members who posted in this thread spammed early on and found it hard to be accepted when they joined.
How many will flame him if he is lying? almost everyone, if not all, right?
but look at it this way. what has he got to gain from lying? nothing, because most here don't seem to like him anyway and i think he knows that. wouldn't it have just been better for him to stop spamming, which i believe he already had, to gain acceptance? so why would he post something like that? to use as an excuse to continue to spam, even though it's obvious that he has stopped spamming?
or maybe because cancer is such a terrible thing to have, especially at such a young age and he needed to tell someone?
So what is wrong with giving him the benefit of the doubt?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
@ ShawnZ:
If he is going under general anaesthetic, they will not operate that same night unless he has been fasting during the day (go without food and liquid). they need to operate on an empty stomach when using general anaesthetic (unless it's an emergency, of course) because it can make you sick, hence why they get people to go into hospital the night before the operation here - to make sure they don't eat or drink anything.
And yes, he could very well be out of hospital later that day. depends on how the operation went, how much there was to cut out, etc. it all depends on circumstances at the time, so no one can say for sure.
RE: good bye for a while by Discrate on 11-29-2005 at 09:18 AM
update
i jsut got out of the hospital a short while ago. the operation was a success. a t the moment my leg is in a cast and is really sore. i have seen that some people have said i have been lieing about this but i will tell you the times i went in and got out.

i cant believe people are even suggesting hes faking this, why the hell would anyone ever fake having cancer!? and how do you think he feels with no-one believing him on here! when i joined this forum was helpful, and welcoming, i dont know whats happened but it doesnt seem to be as much anymore
