Why me? Cancer at 23

my condolences.

don't let yourself become depressed over this. don't become a victim of learned helplessness. sometimes the difference between those who survive and those who don't is the level of morale they have.

it is easier said than done, but you gotta live your life to the fullest. consider this a wakeup call to do all the things you wanted to do. this could be a positive experience (and please don't find that insensitive, because i understand what you're going through--several people i know, including my mother have cancer).

don't be discouraged.

Ganjasaurusrex thanks for sharing this information with us.
It is some truly great info.


peace.

Sorry to hear this news.

I know a guy that got the same thing as you in 1968, at about age 15. He survived, has had a good life, and is still alive and well. The treatments available today are FAR superior to what they were even 15 years ago - so keep your spirits up, follow the doctors' advice, and the chances are you'll get through this and come through OK. It may be worth seeing a therapist for a while just to help keep your balance during this. They can teach you techniques to deal with it. Keep us posted, and good luck.

:( This is terrible news! I'm so sorry thcbongman, you must be stunned right now. My whole heart goes out to you. :(

Ganjaursex, thanks for the info on alternative cancer treatments, and the comparison to orthodox treatments. It opened my eyes to know what direction this treatment is going. It's scary, I can only digest so much information at once, but man, it doesn't sound like Orthodox treatments is the cure alone.

I am in a lot of pain right now, but I can only help to read the prayers going out to me, and using those words to think positively. I will keep fighting so this can all go away, and I can live my life to the fullest again. Thank you all for listening.

Funky, what traditions do you speak off? I'm interested to know.

you will be in my prayers as well, fight this thing to the core man!

keep us posted on how your doing, and eat plenty herb, that is somehwhat a cure in itself!:stoned: :smokin:

good luck 2 you man.

Arh that really sucks bro.
Keep your head up.
Testicular cancer has very high survival rates.

Thinking of you thcbongman!

What some others are saying.......start making sure you eat vast amounts of DARK GREEN VEGGIES and salmon and sardines. I know it doesn't sound so yummy but I admit they're the best foods to eat when there's a compromise of health.

my prayers go out to u. be strong thcbongman. u will beat it.

I don't know you thcbongman, but you are another human being and therefore my brother. My prayers are truley with you and I believe positive thoughts, as hard as they are to find sometimes, truley help the body heal. I wish you the best.
