Hi fellow JD. Prayers for you. I believe that you live in a state that has legal cannabis. If you seek treatment there are many cannabinoids that can help mitigate the side effects that have nothing to do with getting high. It may be worth some research.
Do right always. It will give you satisfaction in life.

We can vaccinate against many diseases, why has not Cancer become a priority to eliminate, kill off, or prevent.

Healthcare is not Healthcare, it is Sickcare, and BIG BUSINESS.

It is SICK-CARE! If we did not live in such a polarizing world hundreds of diseases would have cures for them.

Define polarizing into laymen’s terms.

So more people will get your point.

Dear JD,

All your friends here mean well, and we want the best for you. Unfortunately, we can't all be right. In fact, it's possible that none of us is right. Meaning, none of us is proposing the best combination of treatments for your unique body.

Online info only flows one way. Researchers and youtube doctors don't see your medical file. I urge you to see a doctor or several. Get their personalized plans for you. Then pick one. You gotta trust somebody, and soon. I'd want that somebody to thoroughly understand your situation.

We'll always be here with morale support.

How are you, and have you gone to the doctors and hospitals for a follow up?

Make appointments with 2 or 3 of the best hospitals that you can get to and talk to them about your cancer. You may be able to beat this, but you have to rely on the doctors and hospitals to help you ASAP. Don't delay!

Dear JD,
We've never seen each other, let alone met, yet we've shared a bond for many years. That's why your illness touches me so deeply. I can't give you advice, as I come from a completely different professional field, but I can offer you my support in thoughts and prayers. You don't have to say yes, because I'm already doing so. Stay strong and don't give up! Your friend, Peter

I’m so very sorry. I have no advice on the topic other than being your own fierce advocate and seeking out specialists even if it means traveling.

I will keep you at the top of the mind and prayer list, friend.

There are very smart people here and elsewhere.

It is worrisome that Joe hasn't been back since late July. Clearly he has more important things going on in his life, but he's been a consistent member here for long before Ive been here.

Im hoping someone here knows Joe more personally, beyond this forum, and could possibly just let us know how he's doing? His presence has been missed.

Not active since July. Hopefully that's because he's doing well or at least doing some bucket list stuff.
