Hi Arnie! ARRERGGGHHHH..UGGGHHHHHHHH...UYURRRRGGGHHHHHRRR... !

Your films got me through chemo dude. I was 12, I had non Hodgkin's lymphoma. I used to watch your movies religiously after my dad got me into them. I saw you as the chemo and the bad guys in the movies as the cancer. You always won and it made me feel good, coz in my head, you were kicking my lymphomas ass! Even the funny ones like Kindergarten Cop or Twins... It was my way of dealing with it all. I have seen every single one of your movies and documentaries. You are kind of a big deal in my family. Thanks for being awesome and making sweet films. I hope to meet you some day. It's on my bucket list! I don't have any questions. I'm just kinda stoked you might see this. Nothing but luv dude.

Oh my god! This is awesome! I just checked back online and I am over the moon! So did Arnie write this? For real? Amazing! For the redditer who thinks I'm a liar, I'm not gonna lie about cancer. It's not funny. I'm not gonna lie. Trust me. I had two courses of chemo at the Royal Marsden Hospital, Croydon. UK. I had non Hodgkin's Lymphoma and had a biopsy on my neck. A huge lump that came out like a golf ball. It turned out to be cancerous. I was living in RSA at the time and my dad and I returned here so I could be with the family. My mom ditched. Haven't seen her since. I have a scar there now where the op was. I had "carpe diem" tattooed on my neck below the scar (I know neck tattoos are your favourite reddit) to remind me to live each day out fully. I'm 30 now , married and have a good job that I love. Again, I wouldn't lie. What's this competition ? I would love to do that! It would be sweet! How do I enter ?

It's cool, but definitely not something I would lie about. That touched a nerve. And thanks, yeah I got given more time by the doctors so I intend to enjoy it. I don't make plans and try not to be a dick. It's got me this far :)
