Words Matter, especially with cancer

From a recent substack update:


I recently sent out a text to folks saying my cancer was terminal. Terminal is the wrong word.

Then, I think I said it was untreatable. That was wrong. My nurse corrected me on this.

My cancer is typically the kind where up to 90% of people can survive it. Not me! It’s grown right through all the chemotherapy. Radiation affected it, but it’s still there.


The term is My Cancer is Incurable. Words are important. Terminal, untreatable, and incurable are all different meanings.


Incurable means it’s not going away. But there are options for treatment. One of those is immunotherapy. It usually comes with a little chemo anyway. This could help extend my life by weeks or months, depending on how the regimen is and how effective it becomes. I’m quite willing to try these things to extend my life.


My doctor called yesterday while I snoozed (after I’d seen her earlier). She ended up calling Brian and mentioned she thinks the CT scan shows that it is in my lungs as well (which could explain my cough). She’s due to call me today to update me directly.


I still have a PT scan scheduled on the 13th. I also have a radiation follow-up on the 7th. I hope another round of radiation can help close this wound on my neck even more. So a prognosis is still working itself out.

Every day when I awake, the greatest of joys is mine: that of being ME.

many full recoveries have occured with fasting (which will stimulate a natural detoxing element of your immune system) and a dramatic change in diet and drug. a body with an alkaline PH cannot get sick .. eat only alkaline foods after a long fast (72 hours) .. and stay away from all the drugs chemo radiation and acidic foods .. doctors make millions getting you sick and keeping you sick .. always get a second and third opinion and seek out those with successful outcomes from alternative remedies. your body was designed to heal .. most cells regenerate in 7 years .. get all impurities out of your system and give you body a chance to heal .. full stop any toxic injestions or injections ... best wishes on your recovery

This is absolute bullshit. Lies. lies. Lies.

And it's very poor taste to take advantage of someone's disease to spread misinformation like this. And on the verge of criminal to advise someone to stop their medical treatment.

Someone pointed me to that thread. I'm very sorry to hear this TrivialPursuit, and I wish you all the strength you and your loved ones need yes
