Chemo sucks the life out of tumors AND the body. Cancer just plain sucks. No two ways about it. I wish her well.
Cancer thrives on sugar and carbs.
And I think chemo can end up creating survival of the fittest cancer cells which may be what happens when people say the cancer “came back with a vengeance”.
A horrible disease. I suspect some day our current treatment consisting of poisoning the whole body will be seen as barbaric.
That is incredible.
I have barely run since diagnosis; there is just too much pain from surgery and radiation. And I am not terminal.
Prayers for your full recovery.
Stay strong. 9 years from diagnosis here. So far, so good.
Yes, this woman is amazing. She’s living her life to the fullest.
God bless this lady. I have stage four cancer and can barely walk.
Thats exactly what occurs because no treatment gets every single camcer cell. Tougher ones survive and it comes back faster and harder. Lost my pet to this. No chemo, but surgeries.
Thank you.
I had a cat who had surgery four times for cancer. He ended up dying unexpectedly from heart failure, after five years cancer-free.
Fellow runner here and praying you will get back out there soon.
The story makes me wonder if her second cancer was a consequence of treatment for the first, but who knows.
I never really ran, like people do. Did two weeks of cross country in highschool and that was enough. I’m am glad you are not terminal. And prayers for continued wellness and strength on your journey. I just started treatment as well and it’s going well according to the docs but it sucks.
God bless.
Thank you. I am just starting physical therapy and hope it will help me get back out there. I just bought new running shoes and need to break them in.
Best wishes and prayers for your full recovery and remission or cure. Expect first prayer in about 30 minutes!
Having lost my wife last year I am more than willing to pray for the survivors.
Reading about people like this....makes me feel like a coward. I cannot find it in myself to be able to relate to the kind of determination and strength of will to fight against such odds. I think that I would crumble under a fraction of that kind of battle.
95% of everything on the internet, and that people tell you, about nutrition is bullsh!t. I believe your statement is provably correct. Refined sugar is the devil, in a lot of ways.
“Cancer thrives on sugar and carbs.”
Which has probably been known for decades...and I only find it out a year ago, just after my beloved cousin dies of it. But what the heck, the medical community made a killing off of her!
