I have cancer

[wolf116]

Yeah guys, 3 months left of chemo and maybe some radio, not my life!!! lol.

They can't even find any cancer left in my lung. They were going to put me on 8 months of the stuff until me and the chemo obliterated the sh!t. I could actually be cancer free ATM but they can't tell with a blood test with my type of cancer. I just have to go through another 3 months for safety.

I stay sane by planning my new life after chemo and lots of fishing. I'm going to travel the world after treatment and just have as much fun as possible. Because know one ever knows how long you have left.

but what's important is that you've caught it early and it's being treated.. in a year's time you'll be back to your best and you'll just look at this as a minor pothole.

Actually these are the potholes that can swallow your car if you're not careful

I wish I knew why this sh!t would happen to a fitness fanatic.

You're looking at it backwards dude. The life you chose to live and the path you took--in regards to your health--gave you an excellent chance to beat cancer.

And look at the perspective/psychological strength it's given you... Those things are hard to come by in a monotonous and mediocre life. It's still to early to say, but I wouldn't be surprised if in 10-15 years you'll look back and think that this was the best thing to ever happen to you(in a backhanded way, of course).

Everything I read on health and fitness is saying sh!t like, eating broccoli gives you a 30% reduced risk of cancer, berries every day 20% less likely, yellow veggies 10% less, omega 3's and fresh fish 20%, WPC 20%, eggs, green tea, not drinking or smoking, fresh fruit, turmeric etc. Exercise every day reduces cancer risk, growing up in the country reduces cancer risk, cooking in cast iron reduces cancer risk, having sex reduces risk, having no cancers in your family tree reduces risk.
I should have a -500% chance of getting cancer.

You can't help but wonder if eating too much healthy food and exercising too much can give you cancer as well. lol. I know it's my cr@ppy genetics that caused this, but who knows if it could have been prevented if I just took it easy on my weakling genetics.

Lots of people who get cured from cancer can be some of the fattest, laziest, and most negative people in the world. Cancer doesn't give a cr@p. Science, medicine and doctors cure cancer not food. I've just been reading that too much vitamin C and antioxidants can reduce the effectiveness of chemo after I'm been hammering them down this whole time.

I'm confident of a total cure because my odds are as good as cancer odds get.


Cancer may just be one of the best things that happen to me tho, you could be right. When I'm cured I'll be living a totally different life then before. I'm fixing up an old van and I'm going to become nomadic. Screw uni and desk jobs, it's a waste of life. Hopefully I'll be training in a different gym every month.

Hey Wolf,

Glad to hear that the treatment is doing well.

I wouldnt give much time thinking about the genentics thing..

It's like poker, you cannot change the hand that was dealt. But you can play the game and win. And I think you have already overcome that.

Be ALIVE (as opposed to just living)

 

[wolf116]

Yeah, I went a bit stupid with the poor me cr@p in the previous post.
I'll be creating a training journal soon enough.

 

[Warboss Alex]

think of it this way: you did everything right from a nutritional sense, if you hadn't, maybe you wouldn't have been able to get through this as well as you have done.

how many people with cancer can say they got over it in in less than 4 months and were back weightlifting soon after it? (especially if their genetics were prone to it)

 

[DavenJuan]

keep it up bro!

 

[david99]

Wolf, you are an inspiration.

Keep up the good work!

All the best.

 

[BeyondCharm]

Way to be positive and stay focussed. God bless you wolf, your life is only truly beginning now.

Nutrition can help alot, but some factors are just out of your control. In Montreal there is an area where women get a really high incidence of breast cancer. No one knows why, it may be the pollution or something else. In silicon valley, it has some of the most toxic water from all the silicon manufacturing. It passes the EPA, but it is more toxic than most of the other areas in America. You can control everything you do but you can't control all the factors around you, esp. the ones you don't know about.

 

[wolf116]

It's good to see you're checking up on me spes. Thanks.

Thanks guys, All the cancer is gone and I'll reach a full remission for sure.

But... they added an extra 2 months to the chemo because I was so advanced. I've got about 4 months left. yay

Big thanks to EFFORT and Rounder for getting me into and helping me out with online poker. I would have lost my mind otherwise.

 

[coolf1r3]

YEAH MAN!!! A FULL REMISSION?!?! CONGRATS!!


If I'm ever in your area, we are getting a celebratory drink.

Man, I don't know if you heard of it, but in the movie THE SECRET a woman tells how she was diagnosed with cancer and after 2 months or so of watching funny movies, programs that made her laugh and feel good, she got rid of cancer. Another example given by Tony Robbins in one of his programs (I don't remember which one it was, maybe living health) where he says how a woman got rid of the toxins in her body, which eliminated the cancer cells.

Check it out, I'm sure that you will find a way to beat it, the world is full of examples where people won against deseases that were believed to be uncurable.

good luck
