fuck cancer

He was a fucking rock star all the way through this. Love that he just rocked up here to tell cancer to fuck off. A lot. It should have listened. Miss you, pal x

so very sad to hear about onimo :(

We will miss you

Condolences to Ailsa and everyone, he was great.

This is awful news. What a lovely, sound, funny guy. Fuck's sake.

this is such horribly sad news-–i never met onimo in person but he was clearly top notch, a truly decent, smart, kind and funny person. RIP and heartfelt condolences to his family and friends

I’m so sorry Alisa :(

I'll make sure all condolences are passed on to his wife and family, I hope they know how much of an online presence he was. This place is how we became friends, one of those times someone actually made a Glasgow FAP happen and I sat down next to him and started ranting bollocks to him and he took that as an invitation to tell me how wrong I was about football for about fifteen years :-)

shit, dreadful news, fuck cancer to atoms. A lively and interesting presence threading the boards.

So very sorry to hear it. Fucking cancer.

Prince of a guy, and a terrible loss. Fuck cancer forever.

Oh no :( Onimo's always been one of the always-here stalwarts of ILX, I am so sorry for this news. Hugs and love from me to the Scots clan xxxxx

damn. had been wondering about him lately with the discussion going on in the smoking thread. so sorry for everyone who knew him well. fuck cancer.

awful news :(

rip onimo, very sad to hear this

I'll make sure all condolences are passed on to his wife and family, I hope they know how much of an online presence he was.

Ailsa, is there an online condolence page somewhere that we could write on?

I don't know, I'll find out and post a link if there is.

Oh no, I Hadn't heard. RIP Onimo :(

RIP Onimo

RIP Onimo, I had a stupid idea he was somehow on the mend.

:( horrible. sorry. rip to a true gent

RIP Onimo and all the very best to you, ailsa. Fuck cancer.

xxposts likewise, hoping against hope that he’d be ok. RIP Onimo, fuck cancer obviously.

damnit… RIP

RIP Onimo. My family has some connections to his family, and whenever I'd hear his name raised it would be about how lovely he was. I'm not sure I ever met him myself (maybe when I was very very young), but I'm glad that in the context of this weird corner of the internet I got to see how lovely he was too.

Awful news, RIP

RIP Onimo

remembering the time onimo saved someone's life: Help me congratulate Onimo

rip <3

oh fuck. horrible, shocking news. i really thought he was going to bounce back from this :(

love and condolences to all who knew him on and off the board.

This is a gut punch. Such a lovely man. I too thought he'd pulled through. Love to his family.

sucks. RIP

Well I can officially join this thread, unfortunately. But fortunately the working diagnosis (marginal zone lymphoma) is much better than we feared, and should be highly treatable with non-chemo infusion drugs. It's been a bit of a ride that I won't go into, but I'm feeling positive about the prospect of finally coming to a diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm so sorry to hear about that Jordan, but glad to hear it seems to be treatable. much warmth to you as you enter your treatment plan

Thanks. Two weird random things:

-Last night I had these crazy night sweats, literally covered in visible sweat and the sheets were soaked through. But this morning I felt the best I have in days (even after a bone marrow biopsy).

-A few days ago I picked up a Costco avocado, like I do most mornings, and got instant contact dermatitis. Probably unrelated (?) but weird.

That's rough news Jordan. Take care and I hope the meds aren't too unpleasant!

Yeesh, sorry to hear it, and hope all goes very well!

Hope the treatment goes well!

Good luck going on, man

Thanks all <3

wishing all the best for you Jordan, take care

best wishes, Jordan, fuck cancer indeed!

luck jordan

Good luck Jordan, hope it all goes well

hey Jordan, thinking of you!

Hoping the best for you Jordan.

dang Jordan good luck!

jordan, i'm so sorry you're facing this, that's awful news.

fight fight fight! i will be sending positive vibrations from my spot in the Post-Cancer (For Now) Network. it's good enough here, holding a seat.

Appreciate the posts. <3

It might sound weird but after months of just dealing with this as a possible auto-immune thing with low platelets (and recently, my enlarged spleen pressing on my stomach and making eating difficult, this after I'd already just come off a colitis flare, and tried a bunch of restricted diets before that just to see if it helped), I'm feeling very positive about getting to an underlying cause. And assuming the bone marrow biopsy comes back as expected, this seems like one of the less aggressive and treatable varieties out there.

All the best Jordan. And fuck cancer, obvs.

wishing you well, Jordan!
