Okay, so for some reason I can't remember my login information, so I'm posting this on a visitor's account.
Unfortunately, due to all the heavy medication I take for my Ulcerative Colitis, I have begun to develop lumps in my throat where my lymph nodes are.
A few side effects of my drugs include lymphoma (cancer of the lymphnodes). I have had these lumps off and on for a year or so now, they generally disappear after a few days.
Sadly, I've had one for about 2 weeks that does not seem to be getting any smaller and woke up this morning only to discover another one next to the original one. They both hurt when touched or slight movement of the head is produced.
Made an appointment with my GP today, and in 2 weeks I go to see an ENT specialist... upon their opinion, I may be getting these nodes biopsied via surgical removal. Upon such time, if occurring... I will be evaluated for benign or malignant tumors if that is in fact what they are. (I have a feeling, they are.)
I will keep everyone updated on the matter..
Until then, I am doing commissions, cause I need the money desperately and have recently lost my health insurance cause my dad is a lazy asshole who can't/won't keep a job or help me out. Nor will insurance companies take me due to my disease that I had no say in contracting.
If you would like to donate money, it would be greatly appreciated, though I'm willing to sell all my lifers, ported/arted alts and do commissions in efforts to pay for these upcoming procedures and visits.

Thanks guys. <3
