I've haven't really gone into OPs posts but what Jester has provided it's clear to see. I think they get the point now so maybe we can lay off going into OP so much.
This is my gripe with it. You don't know what someone else has experienced so you can't put a 1-10 scale on it. I can do the same stuff but it would be pointless. Do you know what cancer is like? The operations? The pain? The nerve fuck ups? No? This is the point.
You shouldn't be in this pain, nor should anyone else here. Our common issue is that we are all fucked: cancer, genetics, relationships, finance, housing, trauma, ptsd, autism, disabled, brain function, abuse, etc.
