B cell lymohoma is a treatable cancer (old-people cancer) I really wonder why it seems like they aren't trying to get rid of that first? From what Jim said (and from my memory) it sounds like he had a lymphoma tumor on the back of his head which was either biopsied/removed. He then gets a bunch of neurological symptoms following that. You had a tumor close to your brain then had neurological symptoms, could they be related? Biopsy of a tumor can lead to the tumor becoming more aggressive, so it's not like you can sit on that all day.

Get rid of the cancer, instead of testing for "unicorn aids," or to see if he has "leprechanitus"? I joke a little, but in all seriousness B cell lymphoma is a more aggresive cancer, and that, in part, is why it responds so well to chemo. It seems like Jim has a diagnosed housefire, the drapes are burning in the dining room, but the doctors are wondering if he has a leaky pipe in the basement. Again, to me, it doesn't make sense. Which could be just due to lack of detail from the patient, but there is an aspect where you do have to advocate for yourself at some point.

Hopefully this hiatus is them treating the cancer, and not just leaving it on the back burner to metastasize to who knows where, while they look to see if he has terminal sudoku in his left shin. Scans have a limited resolution, so they won't see everything, but you had tumors close to your brain, followed by neurological complications. To me, an online idiot, this seems very much related.

Anyways, sorry for the rant, dealing with doctors can be frustrating at times (I'm geting second-hand frustration just hearing about you troubles). I know what that's like. Get better you potato nigger. You can't enjoy large-breasted asian women if you're dead.
Without hyperbole, if he's going to the Mayo Clinic he's being treated by some of the finest oncologists on the planet (funded by hat money). As they've reached the point of looking for the rarest of zebras rather than the obvious horses for the hoof sounds, he's fucked in strange and exciting ways. "Getting rid of [the] cancer" is almost a misnomer as cancer isn't a singular function but a wide variety of cell types which can mutate and laugh at our puny attempts at treatment. The addition of an elusive, aggressive disease destroying his immune system means that any possible treatment may be as bad in its own way as the canceraids itself. Can't blame the man for not wanting to possibly die midstream in a blaze of explosive diarrhea or dementia.

Better to die a Jim than live as Ralph.
 
Bare Lymphocyte Syndrome reads like a worse version of Chronic Lymphocyte Leukemia. The cells that derive from the lymphocyte (T-cell, B-cell, other parts of plasma) are screwed on a genetic level beyond just that of a replication error. Cannot imagine going out that was is going to be pleasant. Either he gets an infection he cannot fight off or the white cells might just go nuts and attack the body itself.
That might explain why he went doomer over the Wu Flu, if he was particularly vulnerable.
 
Christ, i didn't knew it was that bad for Metokur, just saw this thread linked in Community Happenings. Haven't listened to anything of his in a long time (stopped around the time he started with 4+ hours streams) but i knew about the cancer AIDS, i imagined it's some form of chronic illness but not that it's this dire. Poor Jim, poor Jade, shit really doesn't sound good from what i read the last couple of pages. It will be really strange to one day, hopefully not soon, read on here that he bought the farm.
 
Just throwing my two cents in: if Jim does indeed check out soon, I'm almost certain Jade will be the one to announce it on Jim's poa.st or Youtube community tab or something. I'll hate to see him go and also see Ross outlive him, but that's just the way it is. When you go, you go.
I'm hoping she doesn't until after Ralph dies. Seeing that sack of shit happy and pissing all over him and saying the most vile things he can think of will make me MATI.
 
I haven't really kept up with Jim over the years but it was comforting knowing he was still out there representing a dwindling generation who came of age on an internet that will never exist again. With the attacks we've seen against the farms and free speech in general, anonymity on the internet and just the basic idea of being able to mock people and ideas that deserve mocking, Jim's retirement just really hits home and feels symbolic to me. I hope when the time comes he can pass on his own terms, Camel in 1 hand as he laughs at the absurdity of it all.
