View Full Version : 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!

Ongoing knee-mail to Highest Upstairs on your behalf shall continue from here, Chuck.
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.

Sorry to hear that, Chuckman. Hoping that your next doctor visit (and all of them thereafter) is more positive.
May God bless you and yours, Chuck. I'm sorry to hear this, and will be praying. I hope the next scan brings good news.
Sorry to hear this, I hope you have the best possible outcome.
Meantime max out friends and family but I'm sure you knew that.
Ugh. That’s a kick to the nads.
I’m sorry, sir. Hoping for the best possible outcome.
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
Keep up the fight dude. You got this.
They say a positive attitude helps w cancer survival and you have it in spades! Count me in w all the guys here that are thinking and rooting for you to beat this disease.

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.

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.
Prayers for you & all those responsible for your care my brother!!

Here's a little cancer story we are currently dealing with.
My cousin is married to one of the best chaps you could ever call a friend & is a little younger than me in his early 50's...he quit snuff a little over 20 years ago, but came back to bite him. Now this was just a couple three months ago, but imagine having half your face flayed off, removing one side of your jaw bone & replacing it with one from your lower leg. THEN, when you go back for a checkup they find a spot on the other jaw & something curious looking in the lung.
When they first described the jaw procedure he was in for months ago, I threw a brand new can of cope out & cravings were diminished thinking about it...so freak'n creepy.

I'm sorry to hear that. I know last time we spoke things were looking up. I'll pray for you that they can find relief, delay symptoms, or even come out with better treatments in the interim.

Sorry to hear bro. I lost my wife that way.
There are some studies that show Ivermectin as a potential anticancer drug that suppresses mestasis and a bunch of other things. I wish I knew of this before I lost my wife. Might be worth a shot.

2.7. Respiratory system cancer
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant tumor derived from epithelial cells of the nasopharyngeal mucosa. The incidence is obviously regional and familial, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is closely related [68]. In a study that screened drugs for the treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer, IVM significantly inhibited the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in nude mice at doses that were not toxic to normal thymocytes [69]. In addition, IVM also had a cytotoxic effect on a variety of nasopharyngeal cancer cells in vitro, and the mechanism is related to the reduction of PAK1 kinase activity to inhibit the MAPK pathway.
Lung cancer has the highest morbidity and mortality among cancers [70]. Nishio found that IVM could significantly inhibit the proliferation of H1299 lung cancer cells by inhibiting YAP1 activity [43]. Nappi's experiment also proved that IVM combined with erlotinib to achieved a synergistic killing effect by regulating EGFR activity and in HCC827 lung cancer cells [50]. In addition, IVM could reduce the metastasis of lung cancer cells by inhibiting EMT.

You’re in my prayers sir, I don’t talk to god often enough but I will for you.
Thank you, all, for your well wishes and kind words. I work at Duke and get treatment at Duke, so they're pretty well up to date on the latest treatments, of a very rare cancer.
I appreciate all of you and expect to be a pain in your ass for years to come....
Excellent! Make it happen!
Can't tell you how sorry I am to hear this man. All my best to you and your family during your continued struggle.

10 years from now when Chuckman is talking to his doctor:
Doctor: Chuckman your labs came back looking good and so did your cat scan. You’ve been cancer free for almost a decade now.
Chuckman: That is a relief to hear doc.
Doctor: So out of curiosity what kept you going through treatment? How did you keep your head up and stay motivated? Love for you family?
Chuckman: Not exactly…
Doctor: Well what then?
Chuckman: There are a bunch of douchebags on the internet who are wrong. I had to beat cancer so I could continue to be a pain in their asses… I hate them.

In addition, IVM could reduce the metastasis of lung cancer cells by inhibiting EMT.If everything in that study is correct, the suppression of Ivermectin in COVID treatment was a crime against humanity. Note that it was approved for human use by the FDA in 1978. It's anti-parasitical, anti-viral, seems to be effective against various cancers...
