Cancer Treatment

  • I am a cancer patient, and have been going through chemotherapy since October. I am doing much better than I was, and hope to make a full recovery. Anyone else been through this too? I watch a lot of college ball, Auburn, Alabama, Ole Miss, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma. I keep hoping to see more athletes follow Trent Richardson's trend of helping young people with cancer. It's bad enough people my age get it, but it's even more horrible to see a child suffer through this. Thank you in advance for any advice and encouragement!

    Don't ever give up. Keep moving forward and fighting this difficult battle. God Bless my friend.

  • Thank you! I am fighting hard as I can. Chemo just takes a lot out of you. I get discouraged that I can't do a lot of things I used to do.

  • What kind of cancer do you have?

    Do what your Doctors say. My dad has now beat it 3 times. It's beatable.

    Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".

  • Stay strong, man. I work in health care (pediatrics), and the strides scientists/doctors are making these days to fight cancer are incredible. Was radiation (or a chemo/radiation combo) therapy an option?

    You will man! Just beat cancer first then just work to get back there, you can do it!

    When you beat it, take a count of how many cancers you beat. Make t-shirts. It's bigger than winning a MNC. Let cancer know who's b**ch it is --- Yours.

    |They would not do radiation. Said mine was too scattered for radiation to be effective. So far, this seems to be doing good. I had to have a port put in last month. My veins were vanishing on them. The port seems to make treatments much easier. I took my diagnosis with a chip on my shoulder. Cancer has already taken my mom, dad, uncle, and 2 aunts from me. I'm not going without a fight!

    wow, hate to hear stuff like this...

    really puts all the b/s on this board into perspective...

    attitude and nutrition are huge!

    you obviously have the will and the drive to fight this horrible disease so feed your body with fruits and veggies to help...

    try and stay positive (i know its easy for me to say) but spiritual thinking can help too....

    i wish the best for you!!!!!

    Thank you!! I am trying to stay positive, and I have ate more fruits and veggies since I got diagnosed. I am as stubborn as the day is long! I'm just praying for good results next month! Again, thank you for your support, it means a lot to me

  • Keep fighting buddy miracles can happen. I was diagnosed with liver cancer a year ago and was able to get a live donor transplant.

    10 months after the transplant and so far I'm cancer free. It can happen if you keep the faith.

    That is so awesome!! It's people like you that motivate me to beat this!! If I had listened to my first doctor, I'd be dead already. I am not quite ready to go just yet! God bless you!!

  • My dad has been fighting cancer for almost a year now. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 Esophageal Cancer last year, right around football season. Almost lost him, had to be put in the hospital for a week on two different occasions. He's a Vietnam vet, so he knows how to fight, and he has been with no complaint.

    Good luck to you sir, and prayers will be sent your way.

    My prayers go out to your father! Also, thank him for his service to our country for me. I truly appreciate your prayers. I was diagnosed Sept 28, football had just gotten started good. My prayers are also with you and your family! God bless you sir!
