Popular Post Fosgate Posted February 4 Popular Post Posted February 4 Declared Cancer-free! Went through some bumps at the end of Chemo. Scans showed 3 dark spots on my liver and one on my lung. I know I have scar tissue in my lung from childhood and had a biopsy about 10 years back to look at that spot of walled-off TB (my mother had it when she was young). Anyway, got stuck with a long azz needle twice in the liver to try and get a biopsy. Couldn't see with the CT so they had to try with ultrasound as best they could. Came back negative and looking at the CT Scans from the cancer center before and after with the VA's poor image quality CT scan in between they thought and I agreed that the test would be negative. Took a bunch of vials of blood and sent them off to the Mayo Clinic to have them run some DNA tests looking for traces which came back negative. Just had a full panel of blood work and aside from low iron absorption that I have been on meds for 3 years now, I'm doing pretty good. Still have side effects like nerve damage in my fingertips and toes and a sensitivity to cold. Not a huge deal as long as I don't close my eyes too long when showering since I tend to lose balance and I can't feel my feet very well. Putting weight back on which was concerning how much I lost, malnutrition was becoming a concern at 6'7 shrinking to 6'5 in height and down to 175lbs. I had not been that light since maybe 8th grade and much shorter. Now back up to 215 most recently with a target to get up to about 255. Thank you to all those who reached out with well wishes and support over the last year. My god there were some times treatment was taking its toll and you ladies and gents hit at the perfect time to uplift my spirits. For this, I thank you all. 49 4
99call Posted February 4 Posted February 4 What a miraculous story. Thanks to all the lovely men and women that looked after you, treated you. I saw my best mate through his diagnosis what seems like yesterday, it was harrowing. But such a gift to see him striding through life once again. and your good self We are all wishing you well. Life for you now will be sweeter then many ever get to understand. Not to say that your life is currently without terrible adversity. But to say the sun that rises and warms your face, its exquisite. Whereas we may just stupidly say. "Yeah! The weather was ok today". Massive respect. And best wishes 2
eaglebear29 Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Congratulations on your push through! That is amazing! Ive know some people who weren't so lucky and caught many things late, glad you made it through and are picking up and doing better! Have you ever tried Chaga mushroom by chance? I know people use it for and after to keep the cancer from coming back. I know this is different but a guy here in town used it in his coffee every day and got rid of his colon cancer. I know many that have caught things early too and have used it. Friends and the people In my house grind it in the coffee grinder and add it to the French press or make it into a tea. You can brew one chunk 3 times if you don't chop it up or brew the chopped up tea a few times and its good by itself tastes like cucumber water. I used to brew it for all of us out commercial fishing for when guys would have hangovers back when I drank. Fun fact: It was used in the ice age to bring fire to the next village. It would be kept in a hide pouch at the center holding an ember surrounded by pebbles (probably a great hand warmer). Do some research on it if you haven't checked it out before its full of antioxidants and one of the most anti-cancerous things in the world (that we know of so far); and let me know if you would like some from up here in Alaska, I'd be happy to ship you some, Congratulations on it being gone, and good luck to your good health going forward 2
