thanks table <3 Fuck cancer indeed, aldo, I never know what to say about these things but I wish the best for you and your loved ones.my dad has been having a good few days, he felt well enough to go on a short bike ride Saturday and his appetite has been a lot better, pain diminished, less nauseous… he starts round 2 of chemo on Tuesday and they’re adjusting the mix so hopefully he won’t feel as shitty this round.
― brimstead, Monday, 24 April 2023 20:06 (one year ago) link
From those not piecing threads together, this revival by Aldo was to absolutely fuck cancer because we lost Onimo on Saturday evening and we didn't quite know how to do it (also the rolling obituary thread)
Can't quite pull it together to do an actual thread to tell the wider world so but yeah. Fuck cancer. All my love to everyone going through this shit.

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

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 :(
― flamboyant goon tie included, Tuesday, 25 April 2023 00:13 (one year ago) link
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 :-)
― ailsa, Tuesday, 25 April 2023 00:30 (one year ago) link
shit, dreadful news, fuck cancer to atoms. A lively and interesting presence threading the boards.

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

Ailsa, is there an online condolence page somewhere that we could write on?
― trishyb, Tuesday, 25 April 2023 07:47 (one year ago) link
I don't know, I'll find out and post a link if there is.

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.

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.
― Random Restaurateur (Jordan), Thursday, 29 June 2023 18:06 (ten months ago) link
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
― sad Mings of dynasty (Neanderthal), Thursday, 29 June 2023 18:10 (ten months ago) link
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.
― Random Restaurateur (Jordan), Thursday, 29 June 2023 19:00 (ten months ago) link
That's rough news Jordan. Take care and I hope the meds aren't too unpleasant!
