Well I got a CT scan today and...

[katushkin]

**** dude. I know a few people who have lost their legs, and while it takes a while to get used to, it's not the end of the world. I'm glad to hear your lungs haven't got any worse though.

[ANightOnCloudNine]

I'm not sure about my lungs whether they will stay dorment or not.

[dantan]

Hopefully your condition won't worsen...

[iLLucionist]

I'm not sure about my lungs whether they will stay dorment or not.

I guess you've read up on all this stuff, but basically tumors can be of multiple types, one specific type is stagnant: they do not grow. ever. they just stay the same always. Or at least you die of some other cause before those take your life.

Also, meditation and positive thinking is SIGNIFICANTLY and EMPIRICALLY in regular research linked to reduction in tumor growth and sometimes even stagnation.

I do not know where you live or what your medical coverage is, but there is this thing called "selective immunotherapy" or "immune replacement theory", which I don't know completely how it works (obviously, I'm not a doctor). But it somehow manages to get your body to kill the tumor cells. They are quite advanced with it here in the Netherlands at the AVL (national cancer center). I'm not sure whether it is related to bone marrow, but I guess it probably is.

Anyway, that's my two cents. Sorry if you already knew all of this.

well i got an amputation of my leg. right leg up to the hip (whole leg) yeah thats about it.

[romevi]

Hope you're on some good drugs

I saw some cool 3D printed legs earlier today actually. In today's world there are so many options for amputees, hope you'll find one that fits you real good. Keep your head up high!

[PollandAkuma]

How are you getting on? I assume if you get a prosthetic you would have to have physical therapy?

[PollandAkuma]

Eek, double posting..,

Thank you for sharing this with us! I second iLLucionist's comment regarding meditation and maintaining a positive attitude; remember we are always here for you! In addition, may I suggest a whole-food/plant-based diet to keep your body strong. There are a multitude of research articles regarding the health benefits to such a diet on www.nutitionfacts.org including analyses of articles relating to cancer treatment and prevention. Stay strong!

This. It is also empirically proven that eating broccoli - and other green vegetables for that matter - help against cancer.

And that the very processed foods - white flower, sugar - contribute to it.

ill TL;DR for you, prosthetics for whole leg removal doesnt work much at all.

The scans are not looking too promising but the scans haven't showed everything. There's still a multitude of tumors and they have not grown but there's still 2 big tumors that mildly worry my doctors, and if are still active are life threatening. And must be removed w/surgery. My bone marrow is weak now and will not be able to handle much/anymore chemo. So if the tumors are still alive. Gameover for me. I get my PET scan on the 31'st. I'm thinking with my luck I'm probably toast. EDIT: BTW the tumors are in my lungs.

I'm so sorry to hear this man, I know we don't know each other but I'll definitely be sending my best & most positive vibes your way! We're all pulling for you to get through this, hopefully all the good vibes, prayers, rain dances, shamanistic rituals, whatever (LOL) from us here can help even the tiniest bit with you getting good news on the 31st (tomorrow?). I wish you & your family the best, stay positive, & remember we got your back! Good luck with the upcoming PET scan!

Most of the people I know, who had cancer, trusted in their (chemo-)doctors, and refused to take herbal medicine. And I never understood why. If you can afford it, what do you have to lose? Why not swallow almost everything which is said to help? If your current state is hopeless, then this won't help you anymore, but I wanted to throw this in anyways..

How about a sexy strong person to carry you?

There's an offer you don't get every day!

[Shapey Fiend]

This is rough. I know prosthetics can be such a major hassle that people eventually opt for wheelchairs instead but it'd be nice to have the option.

**** cancer. Hope you get a break for a while and are being spoilt/spoiling yourself cos you've been through hell by the sound of it.

Yeah, I wasn't sure how far they would have to go... That sucks dude. Damn.

[ANightOnCloudNine]

I talked with my doctor today she is positive im going to die, my leg had the tumors cut out and removed and she suspects its going to do the same in my lungs.

How much time did the doctor say we have together.. ??

[DaBubbs]

Well I am late getting to this thread. Sorry to hear what you are going through. I will definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I talked with my doctor today she is positive im going to die, my leg had the tumors cut out and removed and she suspects its going to do the same in my lungs.

Well, yeah... I'm positive that all of us are going to die  ( @ doctor)

After reading your earlier posts, hopefully your lungs will hold off for quite some time.

no approx time

[rowdy]

That sucks

We are all guaranteed to die eventually, but one might question whether you'd want to know in advance approximately how soon it will be.

The biggest difference is how we face it.

That you are able to post calmly about it here suggests that you have a very strong character, despite everything you've been through and still have to go through.

I hope you are able to enjoy all the time you still have, which is pretty much all that any of us can hope for.

[romevi]

I talked with my doctor today she is positive im going to die

No ****. If I were to go to my doctor and ask her if I'm going to die she'd probably say, "Yes."

Anyway, that's my humor for this reply. Just wanted you to get some of it while you can.
****ty, ****ty, ****ty news. ****ty. I don't know you, and you don't know me, but I've been eager to keep up on your news and hope you still will be around to chat while you can. I don't know the energy you have these days, but if you can pop in frequently that would be great. It seems you like to play PC vidya, but I have a crappy PC so I can't do that. Maybe PS3 or Wii U? Man, I've got to get up-to-date hardware...

Has your leg been removed? Are you going to get a replacement?

Yeah I got an amputation, its up to the hip so is not possible to get a prosthetic.
