Well, just got back from the doc and he says it is esophageal cancer and I will be facing one or more surgeries, chemo and whatknot--
May you be granted a Perfect Healing by the Master Doctor.
you are in my prayers.
Praying for you, and will continue to do so.
Prayers up for comfort and strength!
Prayers up for comfort and strength!
Prayers from me and my family for you and yours.
My prayers for you and your family during this difficult time in your life. I have been hearing that they are finding new cures for cancer. Stay strong.
Turmeric is also helpful
Seriously though, I've gone through this though mine got my larynx and half the thyroid. First they install a gastric feeding tube that I found quick to adjust to. Wanting to taste the nourishment is another story. While the Nutro packs provide the equivalent of a good meal you may need more if the cancer's been taking the weight off. GNC Bulk 1340 Pro to the rescue! That stuff got me 30 pounds back in six weeks and I can't recommend it enough.
Another blessing was the American Cancer Society putting me up in their facility in Nashville while I received a series of treatments at the VA and Vanderbilt Medical Center. Being surrounded by folks going through similar ordeals, fantastic facilities, transport to and from zapping/chemo - I can't praise them enough.
In two months I was eating again with the artfully reconstructed throat made from my own pectoral muscles. Fine as there's no more room for bodybuilding trophies (LOL). Got a Servox voice simulator but I prefer the neat Boogie Board to write on. Often forget I can't speak verbally which shows I don't dwell on it nor indulge in self pity. It's fun coming up with Harpo Marx routines on the fly.
So if you can keep your sense of humor and faith in God all will work out. All I really miss is...whistling! So weird.
Prayers being said for you.
We will pray. Though most of us have never met, you have a lot of friends here.
Acid reflux did a number on my own food pipe, so I have a very small notion of the suffering you are enduring.
You, stay positive and find joy where you can, the Reaper’s job is harder when the fire of life burns brightly in his prospective charge!
Prayers offered for you and best wishes.
Sending prayers your way for you to beat this cancer!!
Go the next step- 95% curcuminoids curcumin. That is the essence of Turmeric in much smaller doses. It has kept me mobile and active. I am arthritic and used a cane, rode the electric carts in WalMart 20 years ago. I I have been using the 95 daily and have no more arthritis problems. The zinc is supposed to be specific for esophageal cancer.
Prayers up!
‘Bro’s in for Pstrate eject -18h.
Crush that puppy!
Wishing you the best, Dear Bender2, and praying for your healing, in Jesus Name, Amen.
you’re a survivor - you got this. Bless You.
