I hope my dad's doctors are as diligent as you guys seem to be. I don't have high hopes, because he was diagnosed a week ago with advanced stages. I'm so worried that the doctors here in South Carolina are not properly equipped. Listening to you guys make me feel there is hope, unlike talking with his doctors.
My prayers and good hopes are with you and your father. I hope he gets well soon.
Its the same here in fl brother , my wife 40 yo , they have been just preaching doom , and she is declining rapidly but we have no insurance so idk if that changes things , bc my dad had great insurance and they were trying to cure his stage 4 small cell lung cancer that was totally hopeless, but big but , he did respond well to the first trwament and got another great fairly healthy year of life which is priceless , and when he did pass it was from the super stronf treaments and not slowly from the cancer, but my wife bro they just say she to weak to treat and just basically lettinf her wither with no treament just antibiotics.
Sending much love your way brother and i mean it.

How are you now mr.?
Sir, can u pls give some tips
Everyone says so enthusiastically that there are multiple treatment options, but when it comes to advacned stage with PVT or PVTT, there is barely any hope. The cases that have options are with healthy liver, young age, no cirrhosis and no pvt.
No cure she said. That's horrible
I have a AST of 67, last year I it was 44. My ALT is 79. No diabetes. How do i fix this before it goes any further?

And believe me if I look at your forms and I see I will know whether it's natural or it's steroids just by looking at your form arm
I can tell if it's natural or if it's steroids
Curious comment. I'm 43 was a steroid pro hormone user about 6 cycles total. Tren etc....social drinker and I'm pretty sure it was the steroid usage , not alchohol that gave me cancer. Made some serious changes to my mass/ physique
yaas!
Hope this is realistic , every other youtube video trying to give me hopium for a click.
My wifes doctors are not optimistic at all, its been nothing but bad news nonstop and she was working a difficult construction job a month ago and is only 40.
I hate life so much.
Just wanted to say I sympathize and that I'm sorry to hear what you guys are going through
I’m doomed
Are you hanging in there?
