Can't believe I'm freaking alive.

Been fighting tongue the last 6 months, I'm destroyed and exhausted but I beat the hell out of this cancer.

Been 1 month and 2 weeks no eating at all, just water and protein powders.

Lost my beard temporarily, my taste buds (I hope, not tasting any flavor is the worst feeling) and tongue still burning.

Received 7 chemos and 33 radiations on neck and tongue.

What can I say, I dodged a bullet.

I can't explain how much I missed being on nostr but I had no energy at all, I'm still recovering from this.

Thank you God!

God bless you bro 🫂🫂

I’m curious, do you use tobacco?

Nah, I smoke it

No bro, I got it just because. Dr said it was viral despite not having HPV, so most likely was covid + another old virus within me that caused my cancer, it is a better prognosis than inherited cancer tho.

Never drank never smoked.

Wow, I’m really surprised to learn that. If you don’t mind me asking, are you diabetic? Is your diet heavy in processed sugar? It’s amazing that George Burns smoked cigars for 70 years, never had cancer and you have this going on.

No diabetes nor another disease at all. "Suddenly happened"

I’ve heard of chronic irritation causing cancerous growth acceleration, and certainly there are long term viral infections like HPV, the vast majority of viruses are acute infections with binary outcomes; either your immune system conquers the viral infection or you die. The tongue and throat are more susceptible to environmental factors like low grade infections isolated from the mainstream immune function. Is your oral hygiene good? I’m not trying to be accusatory, I’m genuinely curious as usually there is a clear vector for cancer related disease.

Did it start as Leukoplakia?

God bless you sir!

Hey my man, god bless you! I'm so sorry to hear what you've been going through! Glad you're brave and alive, fighting!

Wishing you a great recovery and lots of good rest 🤙

I´m glad you beat it!! Stay strong 💪🏼🧡

I have got some reishi mushroom tablets and CBD for my friends who have had chemo and radiation therapy, it's good for dealing with some of the side effects. Hopefully you will find it useful too and I wish you a swift recovery.
