Update on my Cancer

Hey guys, so quick update.

The CT results are back in and my lungs are clear as a bell, despite having been a smoker. No sign of emphysema, and, most importantly no sign of the cancer spreading. My surgeon gave me the camera herself to take a look and says, "Not the worst I've seen, not the best." It would appear this has been caught very early. (Stage I maybe? shrug) To put on my take care of after cancer list is some mild bits of plaque in my ascending aorta that if I'm not careful will turn into heart disease. So I go have the talk with the cardiologist on how to turn that around, but it's low priority now.

Anybody getting the vibe that my warranty has expired? LOL

So, good news all around and now it making appointments to get cut on and another week in the hospital for recovery. Won't that be fun?

Don't forget if you'd like to help me pay for all this, my go fund me is:

Mine was stage 3B and I have been cancer free for almost four years now.

The hardest part is keeping your spirits up - don’t let anyone or anything get in between you and a healthy, strong recovery. I can’t tell you the number of times I looked at my spouse and my sons and told them that no one, and I mean no one, is allowed to be depressed around me or say anything negative. You have to believe that you will get through this - set that goal and let NOTHING GET BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR GOAL!

Be the person you want and need to be; live the life you know you can, and believe in yourself. Be willing to do whatever it takes to get where you need to be.

Heart Disease

From what you've described it should be treatable with a combination of blood thinner and statins for cholesterol. At the worst a simple operation to put in a stent.

Cancer: ICK! - And how-to deal with the aortic plaque.

Uhm .. that plaque in your aorta - that =is= heart disease.

Here's the best way I know of to slow, probably stop and reverse clogging up all the arteries we care about. Examples: Heart, brain, lungs, kidneys, the hydraulics to (for those who have one) erect penises, ...

First, discontinue all milk products of any kind (fluid, cheese, yogurt, "2%", skim ... ) - all dairy.

Dairy has == at least three == ways of starting and promoting cancers.

Dairy is a cluster-F$$K of health problems: https://p.widencdn.net/mwhzyu/Health-Concerns-About-Dairy-Fa...
