RE: I need your prayers today.

ok, that was kinda wierd.

Mabie I should take some pictures of me and my swords? Or other scars I have from when I started using that broadsword. ouch. Or when I had just bought that dagger and flung it up in the air expecting to catch it by the handle, but didn't catch it at all and it went throught my hand. Thats a cool one. I'm much better now thank the Godess.

RE: I need your prayers today.

"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"
"

What's up is 11-year-olds don't get this. Just like coronary bypass is somehting found in older people, if it hit an 11-year-old it would be news.

That is a definite scar. I checked it for tampering and it is all real. Interesting way of doing the incision. It is too deliberate to be an accident scar. They went in there for something. I tend to think you have exagerated the severity though because tumor spreading back to the spine would be near impossible to remove directly from the front opening like that. Of course for an 11-year-old, any surgery would be a big deal.

On a side note - Stop worrying about being part of a nut family. Stop pining over a girl you can't talk to. You can't love someone until you love yourself. Besides nobody can respect someone that kisses their ass. Stop worrying about dragons and swordplay. Neither play a role in modern life. Get a personal trainer and get yourself in shape. A YMCA membership and a few sessions with a trainer are affordable to you. You will find that as your self esteem improves, suddenly things start improving and your gods will no longer be picking on you. Finally, grieve your loss and let go of the past. You are not honoring her memory by hanging on and wasting your life wishing for the impossible. Get yourself better and someone will show up in your life when you don't expect it.

I am going to have to charge you another $750 for the advise. Sorry.

RE: I need your prayers today.

11 years don't normally get that type of cancer no. But he did. Amazing yes, but I've seen the pictures. The first time I saw him was when he was in the hospital, only I didn't know it was him at the time. My next door neighbors baby had brain cancer and was in the same hospital, same floor, I used to babysit her so I tried to visit often. Sadly she died fighting it at the age of three. Here in WV our doctors weren't that good at the time. It's a miracle he survived and like I said before the only reason he did survive was because his tumor grew into his sinuses and not his brain. He has no sense of smell because of it. You can stick a magnet to his forehead, and that's kinda cool. If you touch his face you can feel where they metal plate ends and the bone begins, that's kinda creepy. Sorry Dragonmaster if I disclosed to much about you. I don't know why you are doubting him, because his friends and family do come here and read stuff, and as we all know there has been bad things that went down because of some of the stuff written here. I don't know what else to say except that if you are doubting his words about his cancer don't, because it's all true. I don't know why his case didn't make national news in the medical world, but I figure that it was because his family didn't want all that information to be released due to their family situation at the time, and that they are very private people. Ok I don't know what I'm trying to prove...and I'm tired, so Until Laters.

RE: I need your prayers today.

Remember the cemo? The point of it is that it shrinks tomors. I also cant drop any pounds becouse all that radiation and other crap they blasted into my head messed with my tyroid, I gained the weight right after the radiation and cant loose it. I'm down to a glass of OJ and a vitamin before I go to work, on a 10 hour shift I eat a salad at the pizza place next to us and I normaly don't eat when I get home. I go right to bed, after posting here. I havent got any appetite and only eat when my bowls let me know their empty. So theres not much hope of me loosing weight. As far as the news I'm not shure, he cept taking pictures of my progress and when I turned 18 he came and asked me to sigh a relise if I wanted.

This is a public forum, no charges accepted. Thats one reason why I cant go back and see a doctor when I'm sick. I have no inshurance or a card.


Thanks Krishbish, she probably knowes my family more than I do. lol

RE: I need your prayers today.

1- There is nothing lucky about tumor only growing in sinuses and not bone. It can kill you just as dead.

2 - The doctors do not need the family OK to publish the case. All they have to do is omit the name.

3 - The whole weight loss thing is total BS. Thyroid problem or not, you could still lose weight. I didn't hear anything about exercise there.

4 - You have lots of excuses and no plans or efforts to make things better.

RE: I need your prayers today.

1. Yes there is something lucky, they didn;t have to remove as much bone as normal, as a doctor you should know this means better recovery rates.

2. If cases where the face is shown you do have to have the ok. This isn't the point anyway. Go look it up yourself. Even if I had a medical journal with me in it I'd not post it for you.

3. This is where I don't think you are a doctor. Ok, the whole ten hour shifts and sword training arent exersize? 10 hour shift = endurance. Sword training = balence and cardiovascular. A five pound sword dosent seem like much, but getting it to go where you want in a controled manor is realy difficult. (not like in fencing, that group of posers)

4.Plans I have plenty of. It's getting to the doctor thats the prob. Everything else I can fix, and am doing so. This whole thing started with me asking for a few prayers on my health, something that I cant fix on my own.

(ok, this is where you shoot down what i said and stuff....)

I realy don't care what you belive of me. My health is something I don't B.S. about.

RE: I need your prayers today.

Mel Pratize, I have a question.

Last between April 7th 2004 through May 30th 2004 were there any cases that made national medical news of a 17 year old getting the Mono virus, going into 100% hepatic shock, having their spleen enlarge to 14 inches in diameter, and surviving after a heavy round of steroids? I'm curious.

RE: I need your prayers today.

1. No. Stage IV is stage IV. It doesn't matter much at that point. If the cancer spread from the ethmoid sinuses to the forntal or sphenoid sinuses, that would be stage IV. It is just as deadly in the bone or out of the bone.

2. They don't need to show the face. They can show the photos and video during operation and they can write about it referring to you only as 'the patient'.

3. 10 hours at a coffee shop and then swinging a sword around a while is not an acceptable exercise routine for someone in your situation if you really wanted to lose weight. If your thyroid was damaged and your TSH levels are out of wack, you probably have insulin resistance and it is quite possible you could gain weight on a 900 calorie diet, depending on what you eat. The only way to break the cycle is to severely limit your carb and fat intake AND increase your exercise. Get The Thyroid Diet Guide (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060524448/qid=1102552014/sr=2-1 /ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/002-7262331-2098400) and do a brisk walk of 45 - 60 minutes every day. Leave the sword at home. Anyone with a thyroid problem can still lose weight.

4. Most hospitals have special rates (usually very low) for people without insurance. Some hospitals, like Mercy, will treat you regardless of your ability to pay. Like I said before, you have lots of excuses not to do something.

Syrgot - One of your parents is a doctor. You should be able to look that up yourself.

RE: I need your prayers today.

I know it happened, I just didnt know if it made news. That was me, I was told that it was the worst case of mono that anyone ever got that didnt end up being fatal. Not entirley sure if that's true though.
