I do have malignant cancer.

It started in my right adrenal gland, spread to my liver where a tumor was formed, and the spread to my lungs.

I start chemo on the 28th.

At the moment the focus is on my liver, the tumor is massive ... whereas the cancer nodules on my lungs are minimal in comparison. My oncologist says that the chemo should zap all of those cancer cells, and put the cancer in remission in my lungs.

However, my liver is in serious condition. The tumor has taken over 65% of my liver, and I'm damn lucky that I not riddled with infections, since the liver filters out all toxins in the body. The goal is to shrink the tumor and then keep it maintained.

He said there is no cure, which we all know, and the only thing he can do is to prolong my life by keeping the cancer in remission, and the tumor reduced.

The prognosis depends on how my body responds to the chemo treatments. If my liver shrinks and the other cancer cells go into remission, then I have a good 5 years. If my liver doesn't respond to treatments and they can't get it reduced ... then I won't make it through the summer, probably only a month or so. Because once my liver becomes severely compromised further, then I will be unable to fight off any illness, even a common cold or the flu could do me in.

So, just letting everyone know that if I suddenly stop posting, then you'll know why. I won't close the account down. I'll just vanish one day. When it gets to the point where I cannot even post any longer, then I'll update everyone so they know the end is near.

Happy trails, everyone ...... I'll see you all on the other side. In the meantime, if a ghost is haunting the fuck out of you and you know you've been a cunt and deserve it ..... yep, that would be me still kicking your ass.

You know, even if we don't have a good repertoire, I wouldn't wish cancer on my worst enemy.

I hope you are able to come up on top of this, and a long, fulfilling life.

Stay positive and stay strong.

I've witnessed how chemo can really weaken a person, both in mind and body.

But positivity helps. Let's hope that after the chemo treatment, remission isn't too far away.

I know, this is a worry for me. I've been told that it takes a couple days to fully recoop from just one treatment .. just be having another one.

My poor hubby, he will have to keep the house and animals going ...... but, I'm very strong willed (who knew, lol) ... and a little fatigue and nausea isn't going to do this old bird in.

I've watched too many loved ones battle cancer - it's not for the faint of heart. Luckily for you, you're not exactly faint of anything

You don't need sympathy, but my thoughts are with you and your family

I am glad you seem to be at peace with it

Jesus. You have my thoughts and best wishes.

You're one of the few constants on this site I enjoy.

But on your last paragraph....if you apply half the toughness to it that you give on your responses here, that cancer is going to curl up in a ball and take the first ship bound for Antarctica.

Kick it in the ass!

Lots of love to you P.

I wonder if you're a little excited? You often talked about leaving this world.

Hope it works out just the way you want.

You know I'm very fond of you too, Shell.

And yes, I am becoming excited about the prospect that death is near at hand. I've been ready to check out of here for quite some time. I simply cannot wait to move on to my next level of existence.

In fact, my husband and I are going to sit down this weekend and plan out how we are going to break up housekeeping, plan on downsizing his living arrangements, figure out what to do with all of my animals. I mean, we are literally preparing for this ... and it's thrilling for me.

It's not a secret that I don't like people very much, nor this world. Finally, I get to get rid of this damn meat suit, and become another being.

It means a lot to me that you know this, it means you paid attention. So, I guess there must be some ego left in me afterall 🙂

If chemo ends up working, will you live longer than 5 years. I heard a positive attitude and healthy exercises can help you alot

The 5 year survival rate is only about 33% for my condition. But, 5 years is good enough for me.

I rarely get knocked down, and if I do, I'm too stupid to stay down .... I'll just jump back up, fist clenched, ready to take another punch.

tbh I hope you live and find peace. but in the end, it's what you want. There's alot to life and if you're excited for what's coming, then you have nothing to worry about

I am at peace, and very happy. It's funny how when people don't understand, they believe the person to be miserable or unhappy.

I love myself, just the way I am, and have been at peace with my life for many, many moons.

If I keep living, then that's great !!!!! I get to be with my husband and animals longer.

If I die, then that's great also. I get to move on to start another life experience in another form of existence.

Anything is possible. Things don't always play out how the doctors predict they will. My aunt had stage 4 uterine cancer. They removed her uterus, but it spread to her stomach... they couldn't do surgery there, but the chemo helped remove it. A year later, she had colon cancer, and she beat it once again. 7 years later and she's still here.

Miracles can happen. I wish you nothing but the best for you. Stay strong. Think positive. Beat cancer. I will pray for you and your health.

P.S. You should also look into CBD oil for cancer.

I've been here long enough to see it, and I get some of the sentiment here but really, no matter how nasty a person is, the hell of cancer and treatment isn't something to wish on someone.

It says more about the person wishing than it does the one who has to deal with it. I'd rather have a clean conscience myself.

I get along with @rockyroadicecream tbh. She's blunt, but if the other posts are accurate, I highly doubt she would give a family grief about not being able to afford a funeral, or what other things I am assuming from the vague stuff people are saying here.

That's me though.

no meat, especially pork and red. and please stay away from processed sugars. sugar is the biggest enemy and is a breeding ground for cancer.

I didnt even see your comment....yes vegan diet...my god...it's anti-cancer. And the cold reverses conditions because it simply reverses time. Why can we keep foods in the freezer for amazingly long periods? The cold reverses time. Heat accelerates it. Thats why people get skin cancer from the sun.

apricot seeds, watermelon, cherries, and liquorice root. my uncle had stage 4 liver cancer. they did surgery, it came back and started spreading. he stopped taking their meds and opted for healthy alternatives. that was 5 years ago. drs. told him he only had a few months. all the mentioned foods have powerful cancer fighting agents. switch diet. that's the key. chemo is poison.

I tend to agree. Chemo is poison, but it's not my decision. It helps also if you eat a healthy organic diet based largely on plant foods with minimal meat and no cancer cell friendly foods like that for you're whole life and not just when you get diagnosed with a terminal illness. By doing so you create an environment in the body which is hostile to cancer cell reproduction.

Why is a liver transplant not a possibility??

I've been avoiding this thread. I was scared to read things I don't want to. Now that I read, I wish I could say something... anything. But words are failing me. I just wish I could hold your hand for a moment....

I wish you the best P-angel.. I really wish I could say more.

the thing is..... you can undress them with reality.

Rockyroadicecream is a FA womanlet.

Scorpiofish is a balding manlet.

Getmisted is an autistic balding manlet.

OP has cancer.

when you see reality. you will understand why they are so bitter.

that's why I would like to know what the posters look like before I even engage them. I could be talking to someone in a wheelchair for God sakes. We are not going to see eye to eye on anything.

anyway, back to the thread, POSITIVE VIBES ONLY!

You will live long and prosperous

definitely.

A body high in acid levels doesn't stand a chance of fighting off cancer...

Stress, bitterness, anger, negativity etc produces high levels of acid and cancer thrives in that environment

My sister and dad passed with cancer.....both angry negative people

I take natural preventative remedies every day and live a life full of love and positiivty as much as i can. I also practise reiki healing on myself as well as others. I drink lemon juice twice a day and a mixture of turmeric, black pepper and olive oil twice a day.

Sugar is a killer....we are all being poisoned

Stay well everyone and remember what you put out there comes back a thousand fold. When my sister was dying, she said to me "I have brought this on myself"

P.Angel.....I hope you find peace on the other side and become loving and positive

Thank you Lisa....it has been 5 years now

They were both fire signs, both very highly strung but i think the source of the anger was from different things..i know with dad, he had a horrible childhood and even when he was passing he told me *i will never forgive them* (the parents). He could never let go of that. With my sister, i feel it was a life unlived...she wanted to be famous (Leo) 🙂 and it never happened. She told our dad she was jealous of my charisma! I think it was a combo of anger, resentment and hate. She was very scathing and told me she liked to see people squirm......she was also at times verbally abusive...i heard her screaming stuff at one of her sons years ago...very very harsh

And look where it took her

After her shit show following Nefer's passing..

I really have no sympathy for her. I hope it's a painful death.

Read this thread to see what Dazed is referring to:

I don't see what it is that P-Angel said that was so despicable? Nor do I understand the rise of Nefer cult following her death. Was she virgin Mary or what's the deal? She gave good advice, I assume?

Furthermore it's funny how ppl can be pissed off at P-Angel for something she said about Nefer when both of them are f c k i n g internet strangers to you!

We're picking mourning sides now? DXP has hit a new low lmfao

whatever....

For me people's reaction to you, PA, was a signigicant point where I kept or lost/diminished sympathy for them.

Once I had a personal thread and you wrote your view. In your usual ways if you know what I mean. I took time to look at it. There was no pages of back and forth with us.

Life taught us that sweet is not always good and bitter is not always bad for us in long term. I don't want to be stuck in childhood. Like that conditioned Pavlov dog.

Reg. karma. My aunt tells this story how a woman in the family had headache for years cause she did something wrong to someone else years before. She likes to tell this story and each time I have to think of my mother. Actually this aunt wants to refer to people who did my mother wrong. But according to her theory my mother must have been a cruel person cause she had to suffer from Cancer and Co. for four years. While the entourage agrees how lovely and giving she was.

You will be fine. Stay strong mentally because your mind is the strongest thing you've got. Your brain also can control your entire body, so in a sense it can make your sickness stop. Focus on getting better and your cells reverting back to normal. A strong mind with the aid of today's pretty advanced medicine can cure you.

""I'll never forget the chief of nursing at University of Miami cancer center telling me that we need to hurry up with our bed shipments because an empty room is money lost for the hospital. it's all a business. cancer treatment is just bull"".

This is very true, it's sad more people don't cop on and realize this

Too many people rely on other people to tell them what is wrong with them and then fill their bodies with harmful drugs. Chemo is a poison....it destroys the immune system and weakens the body. My father refused it....despite his age he managed his cancer for many years. My sis filled her body with drugs, chemo, radiation and whatever else she was told to do and passed early. I believe the chemo killed her.

Like Don said....it's all a business.... Money, money, money

Disgusting

I don't either.

I even went to look and read the topic,

there was nothing cruel about what she said or did,

it felt to me that she doesn't want nefer to go, because she was such a beautiful soul.

so it's more in denial and that it's all lies.

now how can you say that? you know how many times she done gave name callings to a lot of users? yeah she may start off good when she's pointing something out to someone but then that's where the name calling comes in. god don't like ugly. you do wrong, sickness and eventually death follows.
