That makes me really sad that someone is sociopathic enough to trawl for attention by lying about terminal cancer. The internet never ceases to amaze me.
There was also the mother who shaved her daughter's head and went door-to-door lying right to their faces about it. So regrettably, this isn't even a new low in the prestigious field of lying about cancer.
That its totally fucked. I really hope the child had enough sense to realize what a crazy piece of shit her mother is. Such great values people teach their kids these days!
As well as the parents who said that their son was caught in a hot air balloon when really they made him hide in the attic. :( Its pretty sad when you don't care about damaging your child by showing them how to lie and that its okay. As well as the damage it does to humanity by making people suspicious of anyone who needs help. There are so many children battling leukemia and other horrible illnesses the fact that someone is so cold that they can take from those who actually do need the help hurts my heart. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
He's not a sociopath. It's normal, especially for this age. Do you honestly think this website is at least filled with 50% of people who tell the truth in their posts? If you think that, your view on reality is poor.
I often reads comments about people who spat coffee on their monitor etc. Well first time for everything ... I now have wine all over my monitor dribbling down into my keyboard. Thanks for that.
Well done on spotting that. Currently been helping take care of a 16 year old girl in rehab with the most aggressive type of brain cancer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glioblastoma_multiforme) who had it partially resected and ended up with a small stoke on the table just to add to things. Seriously fuck this dick and anyone else who detracts away and pretends to feel anything about what people like her are going through.
Yup, and I'm not a tech or anything, but I don't think they use that type of probing for a cranial biopsy in the updated proof. That looks more like a joint to me. /armchairdoctor
:( At least Redditors are awesome in their desire to help. God damn it. I wish that the punishment for lying about stuff like this was they actually developed whatever sickness they lied about having in the first place.
you can see a bit of the "C" on the first image he posted. I dunno how you found this, but props good sir. You're an internet detective! (Not sarcastic)
So he investigated. If it was found out to be legit, no big deal and no harm done (except maybe 10 minutes of lost time).
Except in cases like this, that "detective hat" found out someone lying about cancer and trying to get money out of Redditors. No, seriously, his 'friend' was helping him set up a paypal account for donations so that he could 'go to Ireland before he died'.
Sorry guys, but unless tomriddle_jr is a 62-year-old female patient who was admitted in October 2005, then his proof of MRI scans is bupkiss.

...and he just deleted his account. He's sick, all right. Sick in the personality.
Terminal personality cancer.
Bazinga!
best comment evar
Oh you.
This needs to be addressed. Right away. Especially before any sort of Paypal is opened up and donations are accepted.

The hot air balloon boy story is amazing.
Welcome to the internet ya retard. Are you new here? Reddit is ridiculously easy to troll. Trolls dont even have to try anymore.

You need more upvotes. Good eye.
That's not his fault, due to cutbacks doctors now just use generic MRI scans
You know, you and/r/shittyaskscience would get together pretty well. You should give her a call someday.
I love visiting www.reddit.com/r/askscience+shittyaskscience.
Absolute brilliance.
Heehehe, tomriddle_jr and now arogog? So many Harry Potter usernames?

I knew even before I clicked into the comments. But thanks for proof.
As per IAMA rules, "Ask for proof and upvote those that do". I think providing proof of lying counts.
And fuck these grief-thiefs that play with other people's emotions. Downvote this submission; upvote PastorPaul's post.

Shit, I would love some explanation to this. Brain cancer isn't something you fuck around about.
OP deleted his account.

*her
...
*his
Post this to the main thread too.
Done. Bastard damn near made me cry.
shit just got real
Good catch man, I would have definitely needed more proof before sending this guy money but damn.... How sick do you have to be to joke about cancer?
Oh, wtf are you serious? Man, this is kind of a new low. wait, no it's not.
WELL DAYUM
TIL bupkiss.
This was among the first hits of image search for "bupkiss".
That's probably how tomriddle_jr felt until PastorPaul debuptkissed him.
Excellent catch. I find the case study fascinating, but based off the MRI images this does seem to be a hoax.
You can also see him smirking in the bottom picture, what an ass.
You can see the corner of the "c" in the image he posted. He wasn't careful enough to fully crop it out.
Very sad that someone would fake having cancer to gain attention online.
His goal must have been to receive donations for sure.
You really think someone would do that...?
This one just gets me.
Its updated!
Fuck you.
I was fooled. Thanks for the heads up :)
what a twist - instead of brain cancer he is mentally ill. i wonder what is worse.
:( At least Redditors are awesome in their desire to help. God damn it. I wish that the punishment for lying about stuff like this was they actually developed whatever sickness they lied about having in the first place.
Not cool, man. :( Not cool. Good work Pastor - I high-fived my monitor for you!
you can see a bit of the "C" on the first image he posted. I dunno how you found this, but props good sir. You're an internet detective! (Not sarcastic)
Do you think people would just do that? Go to the Internet and tell lies?
Dude says he has cancer and 6 months to live, and your first instinct is to put on your detective hat? Geez..
So he investigated. If it was found out to be legit, no big deal and no harm done (except maybe 10 minutes of lost time).

I'm an Irish guy...and that is the worst last wish I've ever heard.
Americans love Ireland.
'merican here ...... thumbs up
Doubt everything, good sir.
