I lost a good friend on Friday to pancreatic cancer,he was diagnosed around the first part of November…
Is it just me,, or does it seem like more and more people are getting cancer??
I know we live in a world full of poison,, chemicals enter our bodies everyday from different sources…but it just seems like it’s increasing

Wow, that was fast.

Sorry for your loss

Foxkidd44,
I have CML and am one of the very fortunate less than 5% of total patients with it to achieve undetectable results for three straight years while on a 2x daily chemo regimen. They took me off of chemo last May and so far after 6 months of monthly bloodwork the two key markers p210 and p190 are still measuring undetectable. I now go to every two months bloodwork and if my Feb and April measures come back clean I go to every three months for rest of my life. There is no cure for CML, but if I never have to go back on chemo again, isnt that sort of like a cure?
There were enough studies out there that showed if I could get to this level I had a 50/50 chance of not going back on it.
I completely credit the cookies from the tman discretionary fund that Zim and Patrice sent me. Powerful stuff.
Anyway, they built a new huge cancer facility here in Lincoln and that’s where I go for my bloodwork and doc visits. The parking lot is always FULL. I mean always FULL. Very sad. We go in, nobody looks at each other in the lobby, we all know why we are there. It’s sad.

I think it's been bad for a long time. As you get older more and more people you have known will die from cancer or diabetes. I have already lost three of my best friends. They passed at ages 41, 51 and 51. The one good friend I have left lost his wife to cancer in her early 40's.

There's no money in a Well population

My condition is supposed to be fairly rare. But I know several people here with it. Midwest thing? Farm chemicals? Who knows.

All the processed foods,steroids in food.

and the money is in the treatments not a cure.

Plastic bottles! I’ll go to my grave saying that. Remember when things came in glass or cardboard containers? Some one getting cancer was rare. Now it’s a 2 page prayer list just people you know

Back then, folks died of something else before the cancer got them, or were never even diagnosed in the first place.

Or maybe when everyone smoked, everywhere, cancer stated away...

Are there cures out there heaven forbid they kill the cash cow on treatments .

processed, ultra processed foods and the glyphosphates. MSG modified grains and ...............

amazing how much crap is allowed in the US food supply, cancer causing dyes. The seed oils are actually, as we are finding out with new studies, the leading cause oof colorectal cancer and certainly the pancreatic as well. The whole red meat argument is nothing more than this psycho eco bunch pushing to rid the world of cattle farts. Plus the push for years about eggs and fatty meats being leading causes of heart disease.

The freaking food pyramid they started pushing in the 70's(?) was nothing more than a gimmick by the grain companies and the government!

I feel like the food industry or parts of it and the pharma bunch have been in on this for many years, all the whilst lining the pockets of the idiots in DC to approve and allow such.

YES, there are treatments out there that have been put on the back burner by the FDA, they have been proven in the test studies, yet the
fda gets their pockets lined to not approve them. Its absolutely insane this has been allowed. A lot of these treatments are already in use with great results in the European countries.

Many years ago Essiac was discovered and was known as a cure for cancer.
never hear about it today.
I believe one of the main ingredients of Essiac was chaga.

I hope your blood work continues to improve and you remain NED. I noticed the same thing at a cancer center in Indianapolis. 200 parking places mostly full, the waiting full and no contact between people. It was sad and depressing. I tried to always bring treats for the nursing staff, they told me how much it brighten their day. It brighten mine as well.

Glyphosate’s cause infertility ( low sperm count in men) now you know why muskrat numbers are crashing in the Midwest. Hmmmmm!!!!

I think it's being diagnosed more. They are better at catching it. In the past people just died of unknown causes or old age, now we have a specific name for everything.

Exactly right on all counts, Dave. The erosion of health from so many sources that end up blending together like moraines from glaciers is astounding. Big Pharma is right in the middle of it . I can't wait to see President Trump's A Team eradicate CDC, WHO, and the others . And the other one with that dot Indian who always browbeats by threats..." if you don't do what we say, you're all gonna die".....what worthless hatred , needing control. There is more that has been contributing to the explosion of cancer and other ailments , and more and more people see it. Some folks have seen these things for years , but it's becoming more known these days.

Ask Moderna & Pfizer.

Tobacco is not our friend. Not implying your friends were tobacco users, but it certainly shortens lifespans. Just look at premiums for life insurance on tobacco users vs non-users. Having said this, I have had colon and kidney cancer surgeries and have never used tobacco.
