Cancer sucks

I million pages ago I had a post about my cancer journey. ABNAK, Will Brink, and some others have reached out along the way. I can't find that thread, so an update.

I had tumors in my lungs (sarcoma, and a rare one). Small, but there. I had one round of chemo (0/0 stars, do not recommend). The tumors are still there with insignificant growth. Oncologist is happy about that; they will never go away, so the goal is to minimize growth of spread.

Routine scans last week showed some weirdness on my liver, so followed up with more scans. I think I have been irradiated more than Madame Currie. Cancer has spread to liver and bone (pelvis). The ugly word is 'metastasized', so everyone likes 'spread'.

I am not symptomatic, but will be over time. That could be in 6 months, could be in 6 years. But because I am not symptomatic doc wants to hold off on chemo right now and rescan in 6-8 weeks to establish growth patterns as to determine treatment plan.

So, there's that.

So sorry to read this and I will be praying for you Brother.

Pump up the Vit C…lots of research on that having an adverse effect on cancer cells. Also dump the sugars.

I thought this documentary had very interesting info…

“The Magic Pill” on Amazon.

Keep fighting! God bless your family!

I'm so sorry to hear that. Stay strong and be as positive as you can under the circumstance.

Yes cancer is horrible, I have too many friends and family that were taken by cancer. It's a coincidence that my work revolves around cancer treatment centers. I'm doing my share to fight this horrible disease from a different angle.

God bless you and your family.
