CANCER SUCKS.
Latest Post
If my life were a movie, this is the IMDB listing.
This is the last post i’m putting up before surgery, which is tomorrow morning. The next update will probably be when i’m out of hospital in a week or 2… so I figured i’d write up a particularly big post to entertain you all while i’m gone! This isn’t the credits, because this isn’t the [...]

Lately i’ve been inundated with people telling me things I can do to help me through all this. I’ve heard everything from buddhism and meditation, diets and supplements, exercises and yoga, through to medicines and medical trials. All of them have their evidence that they “may” work, but all of them come with the caveat [...]
This is just a quick update to bring everyone up to date with what i’m doing, and to explain why there has been no posts. Last week on Thursday I went in to work for what would be the last time for a few months. I had some loose ends to tie up, some quick [...]
One of the worst feelings, is waiting for results. I’ve done all the CT scans and blood tests and physical examinations, but now i’m waiting for the specialists/surgeons to look it all over and come to their conclusions for my meeting with them this Thursday.

I’ve seen friends become non-friends, and still to this day it’s a good way of turning a simple conversation into a heated debate (or a locked forum topic) on the finer [...]

CANCER SUCKS.
Cancer Sucks is the new blog of Callan Back, as I go through this rippingly fun time that is commonly referred to as "battling cancer". I have got melanoma cancer that has spread through my lymphatic system, and am currently going through a sequence of surgeries (I call it "knife-based weight-loss") to try and cut out all the infected areas.
This blog is so family/friends can track my progress, get updates, comment and communicate with me, and also so I can help raise awareness for how evil and fucked up cancer is.
My original web development blog and portfolio (iamcallan.com) will be back once I am better, for now it just diverts here.
