Today I just found out that my uncle has colon cancer.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

I'm not much of a regular poster here but I guess I needed to write it somewhere so here goes. He's an orthopedic surgeon at probably one of the biggest hospitals in Korea and today I just found out the news about his colon cancer. There is a 15 cm tumor in his colon. I've known him quite well and even during my visit to Korea I've stayed at his place. He's been quite the smoker over the years and through my research, smoking increases your risk of colon cancer by 40%. This is my first real experience with someone close to me that has been diagnosed with an illness like this. Needless to say, it's really beyond shock. Experiencing this for the first time, it really does fucking suck.

On a poker note, the day that I found out about this, I had nothing better to do so I started to play some poker. But needless to say, my mind was on my uncle and I really couldn't give a fuck about what was happening poker wise. I dropped 400 at 50NL but surprisingly, it hasn't really affected me as much as it would any other day. Now I'm at a position to grind back up at 25NL to get decently rolled for 50NL.

I guess I truly know what that means now.

aw goddamn =[

hope things get better with your uncle.

but on a poker note, don't play when your mind is elsewhere, especially on heavy stuff like this.
