God bless OP. As someone who recently lost a good buddy to the same thing you're battling, it warms my heart to see someone winning.
That would be great, thx for the offer. Will dm you once I reach that point.Talal, if you need someone doing crappy music to go with your game, let me know :D
Many thanks for your support everyone, I'm actually doing great. Very surprised by my new-found appreciation for life.
I've said this before but even if the worst happens right now, I'd die a happy man because I kind of reconciled of myself. Didn't feel like a human being at all before posting this thread, felt like I was stuck in a nightmare. Will keep you updated if there's any news.

Dear friends,
sorry for taking so much time to post an update. After weeks of stress, I just got the results today. Apparently there has been a shrinkage of 65% of the tumors and some disappeared completely. There are some new spots with increased activity but my oncologist told me it's normal and they will continue with the same treatment. If the progress stalls we might change it tho but it's unlikely he said.
Presentation was postponed again from last week to last tuesay, I nailed it and we got the project. It's around 6000$ in for me (ability to sell 61 more with 3 already signed) will help my parents financially and save the rest in case more chemo rounds are necessary. I also made a good friend, who is way older than me but shares my love for cinema. He's well connected and told me he knows people in the ministry of health who might help if further treatment is necessary and once and if I'm healed will help me find a job as an assistant movie director.
I don't really find more meaningful words to express my feeling but I really want to thank you for making this happen. FWIW my parents are sending many prayers and wishes towards your way.
Many thanks ERA, very grateful for everything. I hope I can share more good news in the future.
I'm ecstatic to see how my life changed since I started this thread and very grateful. Will take some online art and design courses and try to use them in the small game I'm making as thank you for you. Nothing I can do can show how grateful I am, just started crying now. Hope I'll make you and my parents proud in the future.
Love and respect.
Dear friends, thank you for the kind messages and replies.
I'm still feeling good albeit physically weakened by the treatment. Will have further tests the next weeks to see how things are evolving.
The gig I'm working on kept me occupied the last weeks with lots of programming, travelling and human interactions. Will get paid in the next weeks hopefully. That would allow me to buy some stuff I've missed like a phone, laptop and finally a PS4. Very hyped for GoW btw. Feel like Kratos fighting and climbing to escape the underworld recently.
Been reading some of the books recommended here. I finished Guns, guts and sweat recently and it it was exactly what I've been looking for, thank you for the recommendations.
I'm enjoying every moment and am glad I got to live this long and get my confidence back the last months. Hope you all are doing ok. Take care of yourselves. This community is very dear to me. <3
