Another year, cancer free!



Recommended Posts

My day started at 8 AM this morning, with EKGs, pre-testing, blood work, meetings with surgeon, etc. End result, I am approved for surgery on November 20! Added bonus? Had my scans and xrays for my bladder cancer today, all clear!

What a relief!!

Fantastic!

I am a cancer survivor as well, (prostate, diagnosed 2009). I was told dumping the fat helps the odds. So far so good!

My pre-surg diet is high Protein low carb regular food, no eating after midnight day before surgery....and post op is pureed foods before leaving hospital.

That's so awesome!!! I had my 1 year cancer check this morning at 9! I'm going to be stressed for the next week til I go back and hopefully get good news. I think I may be a pint low on blood lol they took 14 tubes today. I go back Monday to get results and then get sleeved on Thursday.

So happy for your good report.

they make you wait a WEEK to get results? I would not survive the wait. I get my scans and xrays and then go to urologist where she's already read the scans!

Yeah I know it's crazy! My WBC is still high as hell so they are running a lot of test and scans. I'm just keep positive and try not to have a mental break down :) I'm sure when I have my pre op blood work done my surgeon will **** when she's see my WBC. It's going to be a fun week around here

No fun. I'm 2.5 years out now and still am a wreck for my scans. I discussed with surgeon what would happen if my scans came back bad. He said the cancer would take priority over the surgery.

I hope it all turns out well for you!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
