Cancer sucks

[Alex V]

Ugh. That’s a kick to the nads.

I’m sorry, sir. Hoping for the best possible outcome.

[prepare]

May The Lord God Bless your soul. I will pray a prayer for you.

Damn bro, if it'll never actually go away then beat it with a damn stick and keep it at bay, for as long as it takes!

You've made it so far, I don't think your journey is done quite yet. Shit, we need a level-headed voice of reason around here that isn't a mod!

Good to hear your previous mets are being kept in check, hopefully the response is the same from the new ones they found. I assume you are on one of the numerous "-umabs" for immunotherapy?

I have a friend that cancer runs in his family like blue eyes in other families.

His mother said enough and she found a clinic in Germany that cured her stage 4 cancer that I can't remember what type it was. My friend when he got hit with cancer went there and he had about 5 years of multiple cancers, but in the end he beat it and has been cancer free for maybe 6 to 8 years now.

If your interested I will get you the info on the clinic.

You have my prayers

[C-grunt]

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.

While I know this is a blow, and I'm sure it is. They caught this early, and that is a huge win. I'm not sure if you're religious man, but Job had a series of trials, and while it seems like your back at square one, your not. Keep strong, we're all praying for you.

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.

Thinking about you bro. I had has cancer several times, starting as a kid with Hodgkins disease and the treatments were what lead to others. Also damaged my heart and I have no thyroid due to the radiation. I was lucky in that it had not spread from the lymph node it was found, and had I known then what I know now and experienced for health issues due to those high dose radiation treatments, I would have not done it. Hopefully you can control the areas that exist, make sure to keep your nutri, etc and stress levels best you can. LEF has good protocols that incorporates traditional and non approaches. See:

Drop it in my PM too. Always interested in what exists out there.

Sorry brother, keep fighting. I did read just the other day in a news feed that in addition to the already mentioned vitamin C, is to stock up on vitamin D3. Cut sugar, as sugar feeds cancer.

I'm at that age now where it seems like every week I hear a story like this. Lost two former co-workers in the last two months. It's a lesson to ALL of us, check off those bucket list items. You just never know.
