I'm winning my fight against the Big C.
 

Just been chatting with a content store customer on ICQ who was asking about my progress against cancer. So I decided to let everyone here know the latest news.

I WILL BE AROUND FOR A LOT LONGER. :)

For those who don't know. In February I was diagnosed with advanced cancer in the base of my tongue. What I did not know then was the doctors did not give me a good chance of beating it. But they started me on advanced chemo therapy. I was an in patient as it was a 24 hour a day treatment with side effects. But I managed to come home for a few hours every day.

Three intense sessions and 6 months later the results are better than anyone expected. The tumor is so reduced that surgery is not required, it was seen as inevitable in the early months, and all I need now is 6 weeks of combined mild chemo, if there is such a thing, and radiation. A tough 6 weeks ahead, but I can take it.

that is AWESOME news!

GRATZ!

really good to hear!

That's good news.

Are you a smoker?

Excellent news. I've never heard of cancer on the tongue before. I guess you can get it anywhere.

Gfy trolling all these years made you immune against cancer :)
The one who survive gfy,can survive anything.

Impressive.Keep it this way!

good luck Paul
first Eva last year then this hope it all works out for you .

good for you man

Not a regular smoker, maybe 5-6 cigs a week when I went to the pub. This cancer is not one that comes from smoking. Not that anyone has been able to tell me why I got it.

good to hear that, Paul. stay strong :thumbsup

good news

I had no idea but always good to hear!!!!!

Please keep us informed and good luck on your next round :)

that is awesome Paul :thumbsup

Good to hear.

Not as rare as some think. Viv Thomas had the same problem and gt it fixed.

The signs are a sore throat that does not go away, voice getting coarser and a lump on the side or inside the side of the neck. If you have any signs get scanned right away, I left it late and the medications were more severe.

Good to hear Paul, I know what your going through as I have had cancer twice in my life and beat it both times, well actually the Doctors did....:2 cents:

Good news Paul, keep on strong!

This is great news. Congratulations!

I read that cancer of the tongue/throat is much more prevalent now because of oral sex which you can contract HPV from and then cancer. It's just like how women get cervical cancer.

I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis of cancer but very happy to hear that cancer treatment has been successful.

That's wonderful.

Really good news Paul!

Great news Paul and I wish you all the best on a speedy recovery :thumbsup

That is great news and I wish you continued luck with your fight against this.

That's great to hear man. Hope everything gets back to 100%. :)

congrats!

Congrats and keep up posted.

That's great news. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Remember to drink Green Tea - after your therapy is finished.

Always nice to hear about someone beating cancer. My sis-in-law beat it 5 years ago after about a 2 year fight, chemo, hair loss, the whole bit. She's now out in BC with my brother and living a wonderful healthy life at their lake house and tooling around the southern US in their A class RV 5 months of the year.

Kick it's ass Paul. :thumbsup

Congrats dude, you've got the upper hand and your doctors are going an amazing job keeping it that way. Keep on trucking Paul even better things lay ahead.

Great news Paul, I am sure the wife is a happy camper as well ;)

Congratulations! Stay positive, you're on the home stretch now!

cancer from eating pussy? yikes.

good news Paul. :)

you're a fighter paul, you'll pull though

Thanks mate, tell Katka not to worry too much about me.

That's great man! We all hope that you pull through. Nobody should be allowed to suffer like these, Keep your chin up mate! :)

Shit Paul I didn't know you had cancer. Glad to hear it's in remission - an old acquaintance of mine has it too (Tongue cancer) and it's a nasty one.

great to hear Paul. Wait Im shocked you mean someone got cured with government healthcare? OMG

That's great news! Keep up the good fight :thumbsup

Quoting this great advice...

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Great news and get better soon...

Good to hear man. Hopefully I can get my next cancer contest started with that money you donated as soon as I get paid from np.

Paul, that is great news! I'm so glad for you.

With everything that you have been through this past year, that is simply awsome!

Holy shit! Way to go! I can't even imagine how good you're feeling about this now. Keep up the fight.

Glad to hear it. Just want to wish you the best and a full recovery. I've long enjoyed your posts and learned a lot. :thumbsup

Good news, get healthy and keep up the spirit ;-)
