For some reason it was "nicknamed" cancer here and there but not everywhere. Maybe the nickname is because it's gene related, it doesn't really matter. And I'm here unfortunately going to say that parts of Boogies story do make sense when you take into a consideration that it's not a cancer. It is absolutely possible that no doctor ever mentioned cancer while finding he does indeed have PCV, it is also possible some doctors did call it cancer because they are retarded/young (it's called cancer since 2008- I think)
It is absolutely possible they told him he has PCV, and he went home, googled it and read on Mayo or whatever top medical site that it is a "rare form of blood cancer" - because for some reason that's what they call it even when it's not. Doesn't mean it's regarded as cancer even by people that call it cancer. PCV is not a condition Oncology is in charge of.
If EPO hormone is the cause of high blood cells they don't call it cancer, it should not be called cancer if it's JAK2 that's causing it either as long as cells that are being produced are normal healthy cells. There are no cancer cells in PCV. It's just a disorder, nothing more, and a disorder that is 100% managable, and it's not 20 year expextancy - it's normal life span expectancy. Now if fucking stroke kills him it'll be because he's FAT and not because modern medicine was unable to drain enough blood out of him.
PCV is more often described as "blood disorder" than cancer in the literature even today. Yes, some top medical sites call it cancer, but PCV doesn't produce trash cells like all Cancers do. It makes NORMAL CELLS! There are no bad cells.
So Boogie lied, even if he ends up having PCV he doesn't have Cancer. IDGAF that some Mayo or webmd happens to throw in a scary word for a bloody easily harmless condition. He probably told the truth when he said (finally after 2 weeks of lying) that doc called it PCV - without mentioning cancer and he googled it. Hit me up when it turns into Leukemia fucker.
People, myself included got all worked up over bone marrow, Jak2, EPO, treatments, specialists all that ... inconsequential bullshit. None of it matters. Literally none of it. Even if it is "cancer type" it's not a fucking cancer. I wouldn't ask for bone marrow biopsy if I was aware that finding out the results CHANGE NOTHING.
It's not animal crossing of cancers. It's not tutorial for leukemia that's for sure. The most cancerous thing in this entire saga is the inproper use of the word cancer. Boogie thought it was convenient to not have cancer, but claim to have it because few fucking medical editors like to spice their articles up. Ofc he was never sent to oncologist, ofc doc never demanded any more tests than simple blood counts. It makes perfect fucking sense. Take your fucking aspirin and lose some weigh fucker.
Thanks for reading.
Why does he do this, is it deflection to try and make people laugh?
