To those who might or might not know, I have had 3 cancer surgeries since December. Now I am placed on sick leave until end of September (about 4 months and 10 days, not that I wasn't on sick leave already but month at time). On next Monday starts extensive chemotherapy. So, here will be my future looks :

So sorry to hear that your battle with cancer continues. I will hope that your story will have a miraculous turn-around the way some do! Much luck, my friend!

Actually it is bit interesting.

It has not spread but specialists are going after it with big hammer. No half measures, mate.

As I learned in a certain job, why use a little hammer if you have a big one?

If you want some suggestions, pm me. I had melanoma and I have learned more things since I beat that type of cancer.

I have best there are here on my case. What could they do to me, kill me?

How about killing the cancer? I was killing my cancer before surgery with no chemotherapy nor radiation. But that was me . . .

I doubt any self-medication would have killed 14 cm metastasis that appeared within 2 weeks (about month after 2nd surgery), which was removed in my 3rd cancer surgery. This is VERY aggressive cancer, as you can deduct from that.

Today I had dental surgery to remove possible infection sources, next week having cardiologist to see if it's safe to start the chemotherapy. Chemo is very dangerous if you are not top notch healthy, apparently things like that can easily kill you with it. Plus have to abstain from alcohol during treatment, since combo of alcohol and those poisons will destroy one's liver and kidneys. Bummer.

So, we live interesting times.

I try to play some more WitP-AE this week just to remember what I was actually doing in this campaign.

Antabuse and cancer:

Disulfiram: a novel repurposed drug for cancer therapy
". . . On the other hand, DSF not only kills the normal cancer cells but also has the ability to target cancer stem cells, which provides a new approach to prevent tumour recurrence and metastasis. Furthermore, other researchers have reported the ability of DSF to bind to nuclear protein localization protein 4 (NPL4), induce its immobilization and dysfunction, ultimately leading to cell death. . . .

"By age 38, the patient's breast cancer had spread to her bones, a typically fatal turn of events. She became an alcoholic, and her doctors stopped all cancer treatment, instead giving her a drug to discourage her drinking. She died 10 years later, after an inebriated fall from a window. But an autopsy revealed something unexpected: Her bone tumors had melted away, leaving only a few cancer cells in her marrow.

That 1971 case report, along with numerous lab studies, have suggested that the 6-decade-old drug disulfiram (commercially known as Antabuse), which makes people feel sick from drinking small amounts of alcohol, might also be a cancer fighter. Now, researchers have finally figured out how—by blocking a molecule that is part of a process that gets rid of cellular waste."

The cocktail they are going to give me might have that too.

We'll see.

Definitely not into self-medication.
