Cancer update
« on: October 15, 2007, 04:24:18 PM »
Went to Family Doctor yesterday, he told me I should look into retiring. Social Security paper work, long process, but I thnk Ill do it. I go to get rescoped Dec 5th. I hope it's not back. I got the feeling it will be though. 70-80% recurence. Then comes chemo, radiation. And if that don't stop it, they take my bladder. Family Doc thinks I'm on a downhill spiral. Acute anxiety, Depression, I don't know, I feel doomed. 4 people in my family died of different kinds of cancer. All I got is hope. Just wanted to keep you all posted.

Oz, I'm glad that you post updates on here. Sometimes I lose track of who's supposed to be at the top of my prayer list. :)
Hang in there Sir. :)

You need some positive vibes man.  If you feel that you are doomed, you will be.

My grandfather was diagnosed with a really bad form of lung cancer many years ago.  His family doc shook his hand and said "You have 6 months to live".  He died 12 years later of something totally unrelated to his cancer.

He just wouldn't accept that nothing could be done.

Be positive and get checked out by some really good doctors if you can.

Fight until you feel you can't fight any more.  Then find a way to keep fighting.  

Good luck man, if I can help in any way let me know.

Oz NEVER give up hope Bro!!!!  NEVER!

I've seen many things that prayers have done that Doctors were left dumbfounded.

Think Positive.

You are in my prayers Bud.

Man, I know it sounds light and not serious, but just live life to the best of your ability and put out as much love as you can muster.  It will come back to you in magnitudes.

Listen to Curval.

You need to find your best path and stay true to yourself.   Have no regrets and make the best of what you have left, even if thats just 50 more years.

Wishing you all the best.  

One of my family members has been battling cancer on and off for 10 years.  Can't speak to you from personal experience, but from what I've seen, it's trully attitude and determination that will get you through this.  More and more people survive this disease.  Unfortunately, it's up to you and your family to research all possible treatments.  But it gives you some control over what's going on instead of just being told what you're going to do next.  Nothing bad to say about the doctors, but they often go with the same plan of treatment unless prompted otherwise.  My family member is on her 3rd treatment, the 1st two were partially paid for by the companies who always need patients.  

Seriously...good luck and thinking of you.

Curvals got the right idea.

"Acute anxiety, Depression, I don't know, I feel doomed."

While not the same situation you are faced with I felt all of the same things.
What turned it around for me was when I had my bone marrow test.

For those that dont know.
The best I ican discribe it as is they take a corkscrew and screw it into the small of your back into the bone. VERY painful.

But feeling pain makes me angry. Anger steels my resolve.
I got pissed off and decided I wasnt going to surrender and I wasnt going take it laying down.

You need to find that place inside you that does the same thing.
Dont let yourself get too high, or too low.
But remain steady and unwavering in your resolve.

And dont be afraid to see other doctors.

If you need a shoulder that can relate let me know
We are part of the same family now
