ownraleigh Improvised vacation. Where to ? Off my goddamn mind, where things don't hurt. lou.falcone Take care cus! ownraleigh Thanks Lou, see you soon !
ownraleigh Hi all, after careful consideration, I have decided to make my health condition public: I have been diagnosed with lung cancer, stage IIB. In other words, I have 50% chance of surviving. Why would I go public ? Because I think being a war hero - or whatever you call it - does not mean I am infallible. I have a young daughter I may not see growing. And I am scared. You may not know but after suffering abuse and torture, I was also on medication for PTSD. I have to stop them because of the chemo. This means I do not know whether my nightmares will come back, or if it's perfectly safe to be around me. I had my first session of chemo and radiotherapy. It makes me soggy, exhausted and it's just the first one. You see I am only human after all. jimmyfallon So sorry to hear buddy, check your dms, I've got something to cheer you up ! weloveveterans We are all with you Major Raleigh! Would definitely organise some charity event in your honor! larakithesoldier Your regiment have got your back major! ladysarah I know you're in a difficult situation major, but man you're a hell of a person and you're going to kick fucking cancer's ass! drthatcher Dear Owen, please reach out whenever you feel you need to talk.

You're not alone my darling brother !

ownraleigh Thursday Throwback: When I was still a young and careless private. My superiors were absolutely mad with me all the time. I was hard work. I couldn't understand why I had to do the dirty work for officers. But I can now say being careless is the most wonderful feeling in the world... Don't grow up too quick kids. Enjoy your life as long as you can.
ownraleigh It's like screaming, and no one's gonna hear. You almost feel ashamed, that someone could be that important, and without them you feel like nothing. No one will ever understand how much it hurts. You feel hopeless, like nothing can save you. And when it's over and it's gone you almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back, so then you could have the good...
ownraleigh Thanks @jimmyfallon for the comeback. Had a lot of fun. Hope you appreciated the ride on my shoulders ! Again thank you for the amazing gifts for my daughter and for all the cancer patients out there. jimmyfallon A pleasure to have you on the show major!
