RE: Mar 22. Cancer is a killer, but cancer doesn’t have to kill you. Looking much better after 6 months.
Hey, @wolfhart.
I'm not one for picture taking of myself, either, so no worries there. :) It is actually good to see you looking better and still plugging along, though, right? Some kind of visual aid to go with the prose? :)
I like the tagline—Cancer is a killer. But cancer doesn't have to kill you. There's more than one way to die, and physically is only one of them. :)
I have seen many cancer patients that are mentally defeated just from the term “Cancer”. That is a shame.
There are so many types and only a handful are terminal. I am not saying its an easy road. It is a road that you can travel.
I hope my blogs get that message across. I try my best showing how bad it was with the tests and reports on Small Cell Cancer.
I regret not having pictures of the progression of the cancer. At the time taking a picture of the face of death seemed morbid. My concern was to beat it. The pictures would have shown a story all of its own
I think you've been doing a stellar job of showing it how it is, and I don't think you need to do anymore than you've done. While those progression images may have told the tale by themselves, you still need to feel comfortable with what you're posting, and I think you've hammered it home pretty well just what fighting cancer looks like.
And frankly, beating it is more important. I think the rest of us are getting the story.
Thank you means a lot
Over the past months I have met more people with cancer then in my entire life. Everyone in one form or another has been effected by it. My wife’s mother died of breast cancer.
I have learned so much about cancer. Medicine has come a long way. We all need to better educate ourselfs and not get boggled down with the term cancer.
I can postpone it. I can’t beat it. No advanced small cell carcinoma has been cured. My death certificate is filled out except the date and time. But then again someone has to be first.
I got them all confused. They have me on Palliative/ Hospice care with a paster comming by every week. I have candid conversation with my oncologist and I am so far outside the box. So I will keep posting about it and others will also be outside the box and we will change the outcome for cancers patients .
