Praying for you
Oh, dear.

Roger, I hate to read this about you. I just pray that the doctor's thought that you might be around a long time comes true! You have so much living to do!

Now I know I need to come to Winston sometime very soon and meet up with you.

*Hugs*

Hey Buddy
I'm telling you. We've got the best stamp/scrap booking store East (or West) of the Mississippi right here in Lewisville. You just tell me when you can come. I'd love to meet up with you.

hi roger MAN only advice
hi roger,

I am so sorry to have heard of the growth and its a setback and worry no doubt.

I have hope, that your hope stays strong. they say it ain't oer till the fat lady sings.
I cannot hear anyone singing hear. so hope is what we all have and its free.

hope is one of the only free things besides sex. enjoy today, every moment as you do. soccer sounded fun, Lucky the girls did not slam a ball right into your stomach, that have have dislodged your newest tumour. (attempted humour ) keep on playing soccer or any other passionate and slightly risky endevours that keeps you blood pulsing ( i hope the girls to read this bit, I would also recommend as much sex as you can get ) I was advised it was the miracle cure. I told my wife about that one. so far so good. Being half serious here. Now being a quarter serious. If you died having sex or on the soccer field, your tomestone could read "he beat cancer and passedaway playing the game he loved with the ones who loved him."

I thought your decision to stop chemo and go natural is the bravest move and that your courage in particular is an inspiration to me. I show my kids and few a few posts and this is one I would like to share with them.

If my god is listening to my prayers for you especially he can see my tears as I write this. I pray for you and that my god is listening.

i have thought about you often and your illness and your real courage in adversity.

Not much else to say but that the onc and second opinion except they sound compassionate. Are you trying cordyseps from china, a farout alternative from the mountains of china. I am getting some today and its on special.

Stick with your super healthy approach, I have heard of miracles and I will ask ND2
what he thinks tonight. Strange that your healthy approach some how reaches around and motivates me to be healthier. In my big prayer for you I am offering a small one for me.

love and hope,

Pete

PS I am on the dex again, sorry for the post. I said dex not sex here !!

one of my NDs asked about why I was taking vit e.

Thinking about you!
Roger,

I have been thinking about you and your family lately. I am sorry to hear that things are not going well. I admire you for taking charge and trying the natural method...we know it has worked for some folks so why not you. Follow your heart and you will make the right decisions for you. You and your family are in my prayers. Looking forward to good news from you soon.

Hugs,
Sara

Hey Roger
Hi Roger,

I missed this post until now- man, it hits me hard anytime I hear of someone having bad scan results- I'm so sorry. Glad you're still getting out and about. Definitely talk with your ND asap, if you haven't already & ask him what his protocol for emergency/severe metastasis is. Perhaps he will change up or add some things to what you're already taking and doing. Also- look into sauna detox therapy- and do it intensely if you go with it.

I'm thinking of you and praying for you & I do really mean that when I say it.

Hang in there- we're all pulling for you.

Vitamin E acts as a powerful antioxidant by neutralizing free radicals in the body that cause tissue and cellular damage. Vitamin E also contributes to a healthy circulatory system and aids in proper blood clotting and improves wound healing.

The chemo is also killing your skin cells, the vitamin E helps rejuvenate your skin by keeping the blood flowing.

Wow Marie. It's great to
Wow Marie. It's great to hear from you. I looked at a phase 3 trial out of Vanderbuilt. 50% of patients get the new drug; 50% get a placebo. But everyone gets enough 5FU to make them sick. The results from phase 2 were not all that great to me. I don;t know if I'm doing the right thing or not, but I really want to stay non toxic.

It's upsetting to have a tumor I can feel, but I' not close to losing hope.

It's so amazing that you are still with us. It means a lot. It's been about 11 months since Christina passed right? I hope her kids, and you, are doing well.

Hugs and sparks right back at you.

Hi Roger
That is such a great picture. Lovely.
Yes, I visit this board almost daily. I do not often post, but I think and pray for everyone here!
I know what you mean about placebo and all. I am so glad you are not losing hope. I too wonder about the naturapathic way and think it has some merits. Good you are trying.
Yes, Christina passed away 04/30/2010. It has been a tough year and there is not a day that I do not think about her. Her children are doing remarkably well, though I still worry about them. Her daughter still wonders when mommy is coming home. Soo very sad. But they are a constant reminder of the happiness and joy of my sister.
Keep on fighting and keep in touch!
Lots of love.
Marie

I am glad to see your post,
I am glad to see your post, but not happy with what is in it. I always love to read your posts your personality just really comes through with your words so well, I miss that. I hope there is something that can work for you as far as treatments are, I love the new pic you have. Stay strong, we need you here too.

Thanks Pepe
I'm definitely considering a trial. The problem I have with phase 1 trials is that the trial is all about the trial - not the patient. Right now I feel like the "alternative" offers the best chance at success.

Roger, I will be keeping you
Roger, I will be keeping you in my prayers dear one. Do I understand that when you do clinica trials you have to stop taking vitamins and suppliments? I know Jim's oncologist is talking about trials next and I don't think Jim will go that route. We are just starting the alternative stuff. Prayers and best wishes for good news ahead.

Hi Roger,

Although I'm not a patient, I have been through a lot with my mum. I truly hope all of you keep up your positive spirits and will recover soon!

I don't know if this piece of information will be of any use for you, you might want to search more information about taking Yunzhi.

I hope you will recover soon and best wishes to you!

I am very saddened to hear you are facing these challenges. I am glad that you are feeling good and enjoying your family. I think I would go a clinical trial route but understand that you may not want to. I keep you in my thoughts Roger.

Thanks for the hugs Lori. I've tried yelling at the tumor and it just sits there and mocks me.
I hope you are doing well.

Hey Nana. I always appreciate when you post specific things that you juice/blend/cook/take etc. I've learned a lot from you.

I'm currently taking lots of supplements, herbs, vitamins etc. I haven't found a Naturopath here that I like yet.

Take care. Stay Healthy.
