well no it wasn't really aimed at you, but mainly at the others who have been very quick to call him a liar. I was just saying that he still had many hours to post before he needed to go into hospital.
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.
