Hyper-Man Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thanks for the kind words of encouragement everyone. Today is the first chance I have had to be in front of a full size keyboard in over a week and it feels good! I had a reoccurance of Melanoma cancer... this time in my brain. Probably a lucky break since the symptoms presented like a stroke. They've cut out the big/easy piece and have just done a hires/3d MRI of my brain stem so they can target with radiation next week. The next big hurdle is the results a PET scan of eveything else in a couple of weeks. I am much better than just few days ago. The fine motor dexterity and strength of my right hand is the biggest issue right now. Typing this was good exercise. I know I am not a frequent contributor to this part of the forum but you guys always put a smile on my face. .... Be sure to have yourselves checked for skin cancer!!!

Pariah Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 It's good to hear from you, HM. I don't really know what to say, and things like "Be well" sound woefully inadequate. But I wish you the best. I think I can say that we all do. Hyper-Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoloOfEarth Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Best of luck, HM. Of course, once the radiation therapy starts, it's only a matter of time before your superpowers manifest.

Joe Walsh Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Welcome back, HM! I'm glad you're feeling better and able to do a little more now. It'll be nice seeing you around the 'net again. Hyper-Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper-Man Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Well, after 2 rounds of brain radiation treatments my hair has thinned out considerably, my sense of taste/smell has been reduced and my eyesight and hearing have been affected asymmetrically (music always sounds partly out of tune now). Thankfully my 10 finger typing is getting closer to being back to normal. I still can't drive though and with my cancer drug regimen I don't see returning to work anytime soon. Luckily I had upped my short term disability to the max 26 weeks. Coincidentally the end of which happens to be when the lease is up on my apartment meaning I will soon be moving back with Mom. And that means if/when I return to my job it will be working remotely since her home is nearly 40 miles away. Cancer sucks.

Pattern Ghost Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Sorry to hear it, but just glad you're still with us. Life is a highway -- full of potholes. I hope you get past the bumpy parts soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Surely brain radiation will result in superpowers. Could there be a more obvious origin story? Joe Walsh, BoloOfEarth, Christopher R Taylor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Walsh Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 I'm glad the treatments are working! So, are you shooting for mentalist, or hoping a hyper-glandular response makes you into a brick, or what? Hyper-Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 HM, I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties, both in terms of physical side effects as well as work/apartment related. I hope the treatments are successful and that you're kicking cancer's a**. (The disease, BTW, not the Hero Games board poster.) And I hope the aforementioned difficulties are only temporary, and you're back to normal in no time. (For a given level of "normal," that is -- this is the NGD after all.) So, are you shooting for mentalist, or hoping a hyper-glandular response makes you into a brick, or what? Dude, mentalists are evil. I thought with a handle like "Hyper-Man" he'd go for speedster. IIRC he wrote up a pretty kick-butt version of the Flash for 400 points. And that way, his high-speed healing would keep future tumors from being able to form.

BoloOfEarth Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Wasn't Hyper-Man a reality changer? I didn't realize until you asked and I did a Google search that Hyper-Man was an actual DC comics character. Apparently, he's basically a Superman analogue from another planet - same origin (infant sent from a dying planet to an Earth-like world with a yellow sun), same basic powers. I believe HM used Freakazoid! as his avatar for a while -- I think that character might have been a reality changer. I know he was a sanity changer.
