Jesus Christ man, don't give up! Research the hell out of your problem. Look at how doctors treat it, the medicine they use, and alternative treatments. There's always time. Even if you are semi-joking it's a good idea to be informed on your condition. Good luck, I wish you well.
Dude, people beat cancer. It happens. Don't give up hope.
As for your birthday, sorry to hear that. Shitty birthdays bite ass. Last tuesday I had my first enjoyable birthday in literally several years, and it was awesome.
