Twitlonger: This indicates the tumors have shrunk significantly and production of cancerous cells has vastly declined. This is important because it reduces the chances of it infecting other organs through the blood. Anyway, it's a good sign, that doesn't mean it's gone. It's a never ending war of attrition, right now we are winning a battle in it. Keep up the fight John! | ||

Insurance never covers everything. Most people in the US with terminal illness end up bankrupt. The only reason to not donate is they can't take your savings if you don't have any. I don't know where he is living tbh. Just saying. | ||

I, nor any other that isn't him or his doctor presumeably, have access to this information. What he did tell, is that the cancer is terminal (this has been known for months) and afaik, apart from freak scenarios, is not completely cureable. Also, it started in the bowel as a tumor and ended up spreading to his liver. | ||

My family owns a small book selling business where we sell books at professional conferences that Doctors and such attend, where I've gotten to learn a lot about health, and the like. There seems to be decent evidence that eating "vegan" or "plant based," prevents and significantly helps cancer treatment. I'm not a super expert, a good place to begin learning is "Forks over Knives," documentary on Netflix. | ||

Not the time, not the place, not anything to discuss "alternative" methods. TB is in great hands of medical professionals who take care of him and many others as best as they can. If there was a better way to treat him than his current treatment, they would offer it to him. I face palm every time I read "medical pros who do the best they can." My whole family is in healthcare. I wouldn't trust your doctor anymore than you trust your mechanic (assuming you know nothing about cars). Incompetency and corruption is rampant among doctors and hospital administration. Whistle blowers get fired while the ones killing patients stay on because of relationships with admin. Most doctors do a good job, but that doesn't mean you should blindly trust. Looks like you have just as much faith in Cancer research as doctors. Yet, there are many prominent scientists who believe it is a fraud. http://www.rense.com/general9/cre.htm This is understandable considering the drug companies are largely involved in cancer research and they have only financial incentives. I'll leave it to each person to decide, but these facts are not cut and dry. | ||

I'll leave it to each person to decide, but these facts are not cut and dry. Well, when you know nothing about cars, you're kinda forced to blindly trust your mechanic. Same goes with doctors. It's of no use to be skeptical of their actions if all the knowledge you get is from the Internet God. For that cancer research bit, I can't believe you actually linked to the website of a known conspiracy theorist. As for the article itself, besides the fact that it dates back to nearly twenty years ago, and while the core idea of it is, as of the current state of medical research, true (that cancer is mainly caused by environmental factor), it presents enormous flaws that make me doubt its relevance. (1) It ignores the fact that humans are humans. If we could stop, at once, using any kind of mobile phones, any kind of non-animal means of transport, any kind of anything related to tobacco/alcohol/other drugs ; eating anything that is not fresh, 100% biological food, etc, then yeah laboratory research would lose some of its use. But it's not an option currently. (2) It ignores the massive fact that genetics are a growing field, and that we don't know everything about genetics and cancer. Thus these researches are very, very useful. [edit : granted, when the article was written genetics weren't as popular as now] (3) It ignores the fact that in every country with national healthcare, having more prevention is actually really profitable, as it greatly reduces the expenses of this national healthcare program, which are usually in deficit. (4) It ignores the fact that everyone [in the medical field] is aware that there's no "cure to cancer", there are merely treatments and what research have actually achieved, is to make these treatments both cheaper and more reliable, as well as less violent on the human body. But hell, #conspiracy. (5) It ignores the basic medical fact that prevention is not everything, as every human being is different. Yes, there are people who never smoked, nor suffered from passive smoking, yet have lung cancer at 60. | ||

It's the metastases that usually does patients in, and those are much harder to get rid of than the primary tumor. Reducing tumor burden as much as they have could help keep cachexia ("wasting syndrome") under control in the short term, improving quality of life for a bit. | ||

His decision not to post on his twitter account is a shame as I got 99% of my gaming related news from that source. And I don't think I can replace it. Which, btw, is an excellent reminder of how important he actually is to the community. | ||

As someone who never had a Twitter account or any other social media "nonsense", I kinda know what it means to shut this part of the internet out of your life and at the same time I kind of don't.( you can't really miss what you never had...) It's definitely the healthiest decision, considering the circumstances. Keep doing the things, that bring you joy in life! Good luck and all the best to you and your family TB!  | ||
