| Posted By: DM Posted On: Dec 6, 2004 Views: 662 | RE: I need your prayers today. Dragonmaster, whether you're bull****ting or not, I hope you get better. Also, for a movie that's funnier and contains way more religious truth than "Bruce Almighty", see "Dogma". I'm agnostic, but if I were religious, I'd probably identify most closely with Kevin Smith. |
| Posted By: Syrgot Posted On: Dec 6, 2004 Views: 659 | RE: I need your prayers today. Much less so than Dogma, but keeping the faith is always a great comedy, with some religion thrown in there (But not very much.) |
| Posted By: Skooky Posted On: Dec 6, 2004 Views: 657 | RE: I need your prayers today. Er...i know this is kind of harsh considering you (MIGHT) have some problem with your health or something, but all the time, everytime a new poll is here you seem to have some weird condition or bad feelings, i think you should just stop moping around and going "God sucks because he lets me be sad : (" when thtas YOUR problem, and its you who's gonna do something. oh ya, God rules : D *thumbs up* |
| Posted By: Skooky Posted On: Dec 6, 2004 Views: 654 | RE: I need your prayers today. Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky, Imagine all the people living for today... Imagine there's no countries, It isnt hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, No religion too, Imagine all the people living life in peace... Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man, Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You may say Im a dreamer, but Im not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will live as one. |
| Posted By: Mr Cranky Posted On: Dec 6, 2004 Views: 651 | RE: I need your prayers today. The point of watching Bruce Almighty was not for spiritual enlightenment. The point of the movie was to quit feeling sorry for yourself and fix your own life. Stop waiting for someone else to cure all your problems. A message Dragonmaster needs to start learning. |
| Posted By: Dragonmaster Posted On: Dec 7, 2004 Views: 644 | RE: I need your prayers today. Skooky, "when thtas YOUR problem, and its you who's gonna do something" Thats not Christianity my friend, it's Wiccan, which I'm just starting to study. It's part of the whole Threefold Law thing. It may take me some time, but I'll be able to fix my problems. I'm just asking for help with the health ones. That I cant fix. Oh, this may not be to anybody here, but I'm getting it out anyway. Even though my studies have only been serious for about a week I do have a little background in this. Someone out there has been sending me some major bad energies, on purpose. Just fair warning, they have been collected for a few months and are about to be returned to sender. |
| Posted By: Eloise Posted On: Dec 7, 2004 Views: 641 | RE: I need your prayers today. I think I've been out of touch with this board a bit lately. Dragonmaster, where was your cancer the first time? I mean the primary site. Good luck btw. (With the health thing....not so much the return to sender bad vibes thing) |
| Posted By: Dragonmaster Posted On: Dec 7, 2004 Views: 635 | RE: I need your prayers today. The doc thinks it started in my Ethnoid (spelling?) sinus and spread throughout the rest of my sinus and then back though soft tishue until it reached my spinal cord. I have a bad habbit of ignoring health problems (even when I was little) and didn't tell anybody about the headachs until I passed out in gym class. I was realy lucky that it didn't go through any bone, just soft tishue, so it didn't get into my brain like Neuroblastoma normaly does. Anyway, nine months of cemo, six of radiation, about a dozen surgeries, and ten years latter here I am. I took today off at work where I'm dizzy and stuff. I'll be on again later if anybody wants to talk about whatever. Yahoo messenger - dragonmasterflar |
| Posted By: Dr. Mel Praktiz Posted On: Dec 7, 2004 Views: 625 | RE: I need your prayers today. It is the ethmoid sinuses. That is very rare. The odds are only 1 in 1,407,109 and a majority of those occur in people over 50 years old. I'm not sure what you mean by the side that hurts is not the side the cancer was on though. The ethmoid sinuses are a bunch of small capsules located right between the eyes back around the cheek bones. These are the little bastards that like to fill up with crap when you have a cold and create that feeling of preasure in the middle of your head. You might want to get a second opinion from another oncologist. If the cancer spread to other sinuses, it was at least a Stage III, which is not good. If it actually reached the spine, it would probably be a Stage IV. How old are you now? |
| Posted By: krisbish96 Posted On: Dec 7, 2004 Views: 621 | RE: I need your prayers today. Very rare yes, and he has failed to mention that he is the only living survivor of the type of cancer he had. His for some reason I believe grew the opposite direction of what it would have normally. When it comes to Dragonmaster I have always found that the norm is not the rule. Oh well. Until Later |
| Posted By: Dr MEl Praktiz Posted On: Dec 7, 2004 Views: 619 | RE: I need your prayers today. I doubt that he is the only survivor. The survival rate for stage IV (the worse) is 30% or 60 people per year. Worst case is 11% or 22 a year. It has also been shown to grow in any direction. Sometimes it comes up through the optic nerve but other times it grows downward thru the nasopharynx or back through the sphenoid sinus. The later is the worse case though because even without metastisis or effecting lymph nodes, it is a class IV. |
| Posted By: Dragonmaster Posted On: Dec 7, 2004 Views: 612 | RE: I need your prayers today. Yay, she dosent hate me to much then. :-) I am the only survivor of this that my doctor knows of. I do know I'm the only one in West Virginia. I'm not so shure about the rest of the U.S. "That is very rare. The odds are only 1 in 1,407,109 and a majority of those occur in people over 50 years old." That is what Dr. Pollard said. I was just turning 11 at the time, (diagnosed on my birthday, lol, some presant) I am 21 now. The cancer spread to one side of my sinusus and not to the other, I could still breath out of my left nostril, the right one was blocked by it. That does explain why he had an eye surgon there during the surgery. He said I was realy lucky not to have lost my eyesite in my right eye. Where mine was and my age I was given a 10%, but this was ten years ago and todays outcome would be much better. I was given some experemental drugs, mostly for nausia. One was Thorazine (spelling) it isn't used for this anymore (it made me go crazy, like pulling out my port access and other IV's) I had a Port for most of the cemo but they desided that they wanted to see what it would do if intraduced into my normal IV's, so I could have the painfull port taken out (there not supposed to be painfull are they?) as a result when I go to the doctor to have blood taken I cant have it taken from my right arm, they cant find a decent vain. Thanks Dr MEl Praktiz, you did answer a few questions I had though. I called his office to find out how much a normal visit would be. I'm curently looking for another doctor. So if your in the Beckley, Charleston area then just send me an E-mail to dragonmasterflar@yahoo.com |
| Posted By: Dr Mel Praktiz Posted On: Dec 7, 2004 Views: 607 | RE: I need your prayers today. The reason I asked your age was because the surgery required to remove paranasal cancers are done thru the front so you should have a large scar running from the bottom of your right eye to the tip of the right side of the nose. Usually people need reconstructive surgury and prostetics but an obvious scar would be visible no matter what. On your graduation photo there are no scars. You would also have a serious speech impediment and you have never mentioned one. An 11-year-old with stage IV paranasal cancer and surviving would be ikin to an 11-year-old needing a quadruple bypass. The strange thing is that a case like this would have had international exposure yet I can't find a single word about it anywhere. |
| Posted By: Dragonmaster Posted On: Dec 7, 2004 Views: 605 | RE: I need your prayers today. He opened me up by folding up my forhead and folding my nose over. The scar is where my eyebrows are, it folows down the left side of my nose. It has been ten years and my face has grown, but the scar has not. It is hidden by my brows and my glasses. I don't have a large speach problem, but I do have a lisp that I didn't have before. and "The survival rate for stage IV (the worse) is 30% or 60 people per year. Worst case is 11% or 22 a year" so whats up with "An 11-year-old with stage IV paranasal cancer and surviving would be ikin to an 11-year-old needing a quadruple bypass" I guess I am special then. If your going to keep this up then contact Dr. Pollard at the eye and ear clinic in Charleston WV. I know he cant give out spacifics, but he should be able to give you enuf info on where to find it. He did take a lot of pictures and I remember having to sign a relise when I turned 18 so he could show the video of my surgery. It's out there somewhere. I'll see if I can get a closeup of my scar with my digital, I'll put it up on my site if you want. |
