I'm not fatalistic by any means, but this is some pretty nasty stuff.

We'll just do what the docs say and see what they come up with to help pump the brakes on this shit, but, to be honest, I'm pretty much a walking organ donor at this point. Actually, I'm not even sure that they can use my organs due to the cancer deal. Might have to ask the doc what the deal is with that. That would be tragic if I couldn't donate as most of my organs seem to be in pretty good shape.

I have wondered the same and also about donating blood. I hate needles, so I won't volunteer, but I am curious if my cancer and the chemo in particular makes it so my blood is no good for anyone else or even dangerous.
