Cancer - please read!!

Well done, Swamp. Delighted for you. Docs found a lump in my balls recently and, because of my medical history, rushed me in for a check. Luckily there were no problems and I now have peace of mind.

The young doctor who found the lump was female and the lady who did the scan was older but very attractive. Can't remember the last time my balls had been fondled by a strange woman and in the space of a week or so, I had two of them!! Think I'll find another "lump" next week and go back for seconds.

Seriously, lads, the best thing to come out of all this was the immense relief and peace of mind I've now got. Get in and get yourself groped if you genuinely think there's a problem. You know it makes sense.

 

amen to that!

Cardiff have confirmed the transfer.

I can't believe that...why is he taking such a step down? He can piss off in future, can Mr Caulker!

 

Think you posted this on the wrong thread mate

 

Thought I'd post an up date.

Mrs Never has now finished the Chemo. Her hairs growing back, her heads like a tennis ball.

We can now go on holidays knowing that part one of treatment is out of the way, radiotherapy to start end of this month for three weeks then were done and dusted, kippers and custard.

Mrs Never and me like to thank everyone for their messages of support, really much appreciated these last couple of months. Thank you!!!

 

Great news Never. Pass on my best wishes to Mrs Never

 

Needless to say, Never, I'm delighted for you both. Onwards and upwards, mate.

 

great news never! wish you all the best mate

 

Cheers al!!!!

I know exactly what you've been going through! 10 Years ago I diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma (Cancer of lymph system), I had few symptoms (a little more tired than usual) and fortunately during a hernia Op they came across the cancer. I had treatment within a few months and am now on what is called 'Watch and Wait' (not in the clear as it can come back any time). So same goes for what Ivor said, if you feel weird, lack energy and subtle sort of symptoms, have a blood test!

Good luck all for the season, exciting times, glad i'm still here to see us in Europe and 3rd year in the Prem

 

Birch,

Heartening to read they caught it. I know it could come back but then cancer can strike anyone at any time no matter how healthy they think they are - me being a case in point.

But you are now in the system and being monitored. At least, should the thing rear its ugly head again, they will be well placed to give you early treatment which is so vital. That can only be good and I'm well pleased for you.

I totally echo your sentiments regarding our beloved Swans. Every good wish to you.

 

All the very best Birch, us Jacks a tough old cookies go kick it's ass.

 

Cheers boys, yeh kicked its arse once, whats to say, if it comes back I can,t win again.

Spent 12 years in R.N, two minor wars and a smallish battle with the nasty disease, yeh tough bunch of cookies us jacks

 

Much respect to you, great post. Glad to hear you're now doing well.

 

Ivor-Good luck to you and all mate, it is heartening to read of other people's battles-Albeit mine was a minor one and the effects haven't been too gruesome (Wibble )

You see I had something which wasn't invasive like Chemo, they treated me with something called Ritixumab (Antibody treatment), which is ok at that stage, but is also used at later stages with Chemo. So glad I didn't have to go down that road at the time, as my work life so important to me!

Keep it up, the positivity encourages people that the 'C' Word isn't the end of the day

And I don't mean (DIFF)

 

I think that it is fair to say that with most Cancers, diet is critical, and I have learnt so much since my wife's diagnosis, and we have changed her diet greatly. Sugar has been cut out completely, didn't realise how deadly sugar is, until doing my research on Leukaemia, also here diet has a high intake of fruit and vegetables on a daily basis, while she receives private treatment for here immune system to be boosted weekly, this is being cared for by a Chinese specialist Dr Limin Zhu on Walter road, who specialises in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, to boost the immune system. The problem with Leukaemia is the ineffectiveness of the white blood cells to fight infection, and so Leukaemia suffers are vunerable to infections, so boosting the immune system helps greatly with the condition, while the correct cancer fighting diet provides the body with the materials it needs to help slow down the issues of the cancer cells.

There are other more specific health food supplements that are directly linked to fighting Leukaemia, which are also included in her diet, but they make for a complicated explanation which would take much in depth reading, so will pass on the science and Biology lesson here, the other key factor for cancer sufferers is stress, that has to be cut out at all costs, pretty much is as deadly as sugar intake, so for now she remains still at the early stage, and the hospital are in a 'wait and see' approach, while she's monitored regularly, health wise she seems to be comfortable at the moment, just thought I'd up date you all.

 

Funny enough Phil, when ,my wife was diagnosed you get the usual about diet and work. Now my wife works as an intensive care nurse and has to do 12hr days and nights, and the consultant then goes on to say the amount of nurses that have had cancer in the critical care is ridiculous and most of this is done through work related stress.

In the QA in Portsmouth they are conducting a study into cancer and the work place etc.

Phil I hope your wife is making goods progress, please do keep us informed and pass mine and my wife's best wishes for a speedy recovery.

 

Best wishes to all in your battles.

Phill I take vitamin c efferescent to boost my imune system after powerlifting. Maybe that is a vitamin you could look into.

 

May be a good idea to post some cancer battling food stuffs on here actually,natural foods that boost the immune system and things like that . my regards and best wishes to you all, very humbling stuff to read ,
