Updating my cancer status

skimpydoo

I had posted a few times in the [URL="Home Topics Social & Fun AMA: Ask Me Anything Now Ye're Talking - to a cancer patient"]Now You're Talking - to a cancer patient thread [/URL]in 2017 as I was about to start undergoing cancer treatment. I was asked by some posters to let them know how I was doing.

Last Thursday I had my final cancer treatment and I am now on watch and wait checkups. At the moment I am still recovering from my treatment and I aim to be back to my old 100% self next January.

Best of luck with your recovery.

Can we all run into the room and lift you up and down in a throwing hip hip hooray motion or is it too soon?

January is only a few heartbeats away, it will fly in and all be grand. :cool:

There are those who denigrate threads by smugly parroting redundant clichés like a "fork in the sugar bowl". You have my utmost respect, and best wishes with your remaining treatment.

Thanks.

Congrats, OP. There’s only one thing to do at a time like this - strut.

Best of luck and health for Jan, and the long term future op.

There isn't a family in the country that cancer hasn't gouged through. It's nice to see someone with a positive attitude after battling through an encounter with it.

Very best of all things good OP.

Good to hear though OP. Good for you. It always makes me smile when I hear of somebody winning the fight against cancer, such a scary disease.

So nice to hear of a nice story of someone beating cancer. I recently lost on uncle to it and in my parent's parish alone 6 people have died from it in the last couple of weeks. I have a cousin that has battled through it and an aunt that has had it too.

Best of luck OP and all the best for the future. Be positive and strong.

Yeah it was tough at times with side effects that you would not wish on your worst enemy. At the moment I am dealing with lack of appetite which I also consider being a great diet.;):P

Yeah and I will be glad when my diet is over as I can't wait to have a proper Christmas Meal with some nice red wine. Last December I got a bad bug and because of my low immune system I was out of action for 6 weeks.

I've just read How to Starve Cancer by Jane McLelland and it's a real eye opener.

Amongst other things, it highlights the fact that there are several cheap, common, low toxicity drugs used for other conditions (e.g. diabetes, lowering cholesterol, antibiotics) that have powerful anti-cancer properties, especially when used together. Repurposing drugs is not yet part of conventional oncology but hopefully soon it will be.

skimpydoo, have you heard about this book?

I know that aspirin has strong anti carcinogenic properties but is dangerous to take regularly because it discourages blood clotting
