DESCRIPTION:The kindly doctor says something you never want to hear\; "I'm
so very sorry to tell you it's terminal." What the actual fuck do you do?<
br>
Karamoon heard those very same words in July 2016. Aged 36 with two
young kids\, he was diagnosed with Stage 4 (terminal) colon cancer. Due t
o the level of spread to his liver\, lymphatic system\, and abdominal memb
rane\, a realistic life expectancy was just seven to nine months.
W
hen faced with a crisis\, your natural reaction is to start asking questio
ns\, learn as much as you can\, and get hacking. And that's exactly what h
e did. Hacking\, after all\, is a survival trait more than it's a hobby...
.
This practical talk will be about how Karamoon went from "You nee
d a friend or family member with you before I give you this news" to "We c
an find no evidence of disease" in the space of four years. It's also abou
t the incredible support he's had from members of the international hacker
community.
