Serious Diagnosed with Cancer

[Cynnr]

Hello, Let me preface this by saying that I am lucky enough to live in a country with a really good single payer medical system. So this means that at this point, all is not lost, I am hopeful that I can recover. However, I do know this world is more 'Game of thrones' and less 'Sesame street'. I used to be a full blown raver/Junkie up until the year 2000, since then I have managed to become a respected member of society, building a career that I truly thought was not a possibility for me. This had allowed me own property and amass decent retirement portfolio. I am solo because I just suck at forming emotional bonds with 'normal 9-5 people' and hanging with 'my people' wouldn't be a good thing right now, as you can imaging this has sucked.

My question is: If the worst come and the oncologist says 'that's it, nothing else to be one, you have x amount of month to live'. Where would YOU go to live without pain, where the weather is hot and the raves are safe and plentiful.

*******I truly hope I didn't break any rules
*******I fully intend to do what the doctors recommend, I have zero desire to commit suicide, that's never been a thing in my life. I simply do not want to die as a corporate monkey, who's only goals are found in god forsaken excel spreadsheets, endless/pointless meeting about the most useless crap in the world. I want to go and LIVE and LOVE with the only people who I have ever been able to love; Raver hippies. I miss that sooo much that it hurts.

Thanks

I am soo, so sorry for your misfortune.

To honestly answer your question I would probably get a shit load of psychedelics (LSD, DMT, etc). I would spend a lot of time in nature doing said psychedelics. I would spend time with family. I would probably want a lot of opioids and benzos, too. I would visit my best friend in Arizona. I would try to get laid. I would study the Tao Te Ching and meditate a lot more than I do now.

There is nothing wrong with revisiting your old raver/hippie/junkie days in this situation. It would give me comfort, too. I would do the same in a way.

after all, they say laughter is the best medicine... take that figuratively not literally. I truly believe that consciousness and mood can have a physical effect your body (to an extent).

I’ve thought about this long and hard...

I first suggest looking at your prognosis rationally, I myself am just about out of the worst of it myself after surgery and chemo, my prognosis is good despite the hellish treatments I’ve had to endure. Even a very poor prognosis like another family member of mine isn’t a death sentence, they said he might not live a year or two and he’s beat all the odds. Cancer ain’t quite the death sentence it used to be.

But.... If that time comes where it seems western medical treatment won’t heal you and you wanna live the rest of your days happy.

I plan to go some place quiet and peaceful if my time comes sooner than expected. I like the northeoods. I’ll eat completely organic foods, lots of veggies and wild foraged mushrooms. I’d spend every other weekend with a psychedelic experience or maybe hit a show/rave. I’d try to live a clean life to slow the growth (possibly eliminate it in some cases) while simultaneously enjoying every last moment with friends and family.

My family already knows on my death bed they are to give me MDMA and likely LSD or Mescaline when it seems I’m close. I wanna go out the way I lived. Maybe even rent out an F1 rig one last time if I got it in me to even listen to the music..

Cut the part of your body that has the cancer. as fast as possible

I don't think cancer works that way, in most cases...

 

[Snafu in the Void]

Okay (I rarely ask this lol) but why? Teach me.

I am no doctor, nor any expert.

I am quite sure by the time most people get diagnosed with cancer it has already spread to lymph nodes and other parts of the body. It's not as simple as just cutting off a limb. Also most cancer is internal and not in a limb. You can't simply cut out organs.

Things like skin cancer are different, but even then it's not as simple as cutting it off.

Im so sorry you are going thru this. I've been thinking about this kind of thing alot here lately because they just found a large mass on my mom's brain. There is a good chance it's a tumor, but it could also be a cyst. Waiting on her to see the neurologist.
Getting the news has really made me put my life into a different perspective. It makes me sad for all the days I've wasted. Life is so damn short. I can't imagine my mother not being in my life.

I would embrace everyday as if it is my last. I would do what I wanted to do instead of what the world expects me to do. I'd go to Colorado to the mountains and soak in all its beauty. I would definitely stay high the remaining time I had to enjoy each moment. I'd make sure to spend my time with the ones I truly love and try to make lasting memories for them to have when I'm gone.
I wouldn't waste any time on hate or negative thoughts. I would do my best to be happy and thankful for each day. I would make sure my loved ones know how much I love them and what they really mean to me.
I'd have to go to as many concerts as possible. Packing up and getting a camper and going to live out on the open road sounds like the best thing ever.

My sister, at age 34 had a large tumor on her thyroid. My mother also had thyroid problems.

We are so blessed that it was malignant. She has a badass scar on her neck from the surgery.

My father had tumors in his neck removed in his 20's and again in his 50's. Unfortunately during the second surgery they clipped some nerves and the left half of his face is paralyzed.

My point is we are all still here. In the case of my sister we came together as a family. Love and hope.

I am honestly sending you my energy OP. God(s) bless you. Stay strong.

I know a lot of people who've beaten cancer. If the worst case scenario happens and they do tell you that you have x number of months/years to live or whatever, keep in mind they don't know the future. They are just looking at averages.

Wanting to beat it really helps IMO. It sounds like you're determined to give it your best shot and that's a great starting point. I'd recommend doing everything in your power to fight it. Eat properly. Sleep properly. Exercise. Avoid stressful situations. If you can survive without your job, maybe consider quitting and focusing on yourself for a while.

Go and have sex. Revisit the raver world. Travel, assuming it doesn't interfere with treatment. Start mending broken relationships with family and friends. Unravel the knots in your psyche. Feel the sun on your skin. Swim in the ocean. Breathe fresh air.

This can be an opportunity to live your life like you never have before. It sounds like you don't like what you're doing right now. Take this opportunity to make the changes you've always wanted to. Live your life. Embrace chaos and uncertainty. Grab the bull by the horns.

But I personally would probably go to Cancun Mexico. That or a few trips to various locations, like a week in Thailand, a week in Amsterdam, Few weeks in Mexico. Brazil. Etc.

God bless and stay strong.

I am a firm believer that Cancer is largely attributed to our diet. I would strongly suggest researching Alkaline based foods. Cancer breeds well in acidity and dies in alkaline environments. If you can, try and turn to a plant based diet and really revamp your diet. I firmly believe it could save your life.

Cancer is an energy and karma has everything to do with it. Burn karma with effective meditation like Buddhism and it will take however long it takes to burn that bad energy off.
People alkaline their blood with fruits, veggies and thc oils and that seems to be effective to stop the cancer. I forgot what the percentage of bloods need to be alkalined but u can look it up

Spiritual gaslighting at its finest... Trust me friend I’ve heard it all, I spent years (7 or so) trying it your way only to be left worse off than if I had just gone in and gotten surgery from the start. I believed I could heal myself through spiritual means.

I’ve damn near given away all my possessions, meditated daily, prayed daily, had sessions with multiple spiritual healers (free thankfully cuz they are my friends) tried many different natural remedies, and all it did was majorly slow the progression but not eliminate it.

If anything it might have done more damage as I allowed the cancer to progress past a certain point requiring additional treatments.

Now when someone says something like this I scoff at the quite uneducated response that serves to boost the ego of whoever said it.

So how do you explain innocent children battling to stay alive? I don’t believe it’s cuz they’re spiritually unclean as you suggest.

And to finish, the whole alkaline blood thing is another new age myth. While it’s good to eat more alkaline foods for some, it doesn’t change blood pH any appreciable amount. If your bloods ph could change so easily it wreak havoc on the body.

Wow ur very judgemental u speak like u know me lol talk about gaslighting and uneducated responses. Best check yourself before u try to condemn someone else. Because ur shit does stink even if u beleive it doesn't. Everyone's ass stinks bit not everyone wants to smell their own.
Sad to hear about your ailment and misfortune with spirituality. U must have heavy karma or u where practicing something not very effective. There's levels to these practices. A high practice like kria yoga properly taught with shaktipat initiated by a true enlightened guru is very potent and 1 round of cobra breath properly done that takes 20- 60 seconds is equivalent to 1 yr of practicing the 4 preliminaries in tantric buddhism. It relieves lifetimes of negative karma and the more u practice it the better it works. I have 20 yrs experience with spiritual practices, heard just about it all and practiced just about it all. A friend of mine put his cancer into remission and shrunk it by 15% in 1 yr practicing zen buddhism and taking natural remedies to alkalizing his blood. I reccomend to look into this from authentic sources because it is not a new age myth. It's actual natural science. Best of luck to u with your health issues and I also hope u can become less judgemental. A bad mind produces bad health and a bad body. Thinkin healthy helps u be healthy. Remember that!

 

[Tuwon Farks 00]

Also, spirituality alone may not be fully effective in healing something physical often u need to combine it with a doctor's care. Everyone's karma is different and one man's procedures may not work for the next man. Balance is the trick.

DO NOT IGNORE YOUR DOCTOR.

 

[Tuwon Farks 00]

DO NOT IGNORE YOUR DOCTOR.

That's right but also get to know your doctor because I had one who treated me like a Ginny pig and made me sick! I now have a personal doctor and personal nurse they're the best. Matter of fact I have to go see my nurse for the morning's tootjob. Have a good day

 

[birdup.snaildown]

also get to know your doctor

Agreed. Don't completely trust the first opinion you get. I've been mislead by doctors before. I work in a hospital and I've seen doctors make diagnostic mistakes (and other oversights) more times than I can count. I've personally received bad medical advice in the past. Now I always get a second opinion if I'm unsure about anything. Assuming you can afford it, it's not going to do any harm.

Doctors aren't infallible.

 

[Cynnr]

Thank you all for taking the time to respond, truly means the world to me.

Monday I will be in surgery to remove a portion of my large intestine, mostly the descending portion. Then it will be Chemo and or whatever the liver specialist decides to do.

I am in good spirits, the future will bring whatever it wants, all I can do is stay positive and fight.

Again thank you all, you made a difference!

I would personally spend my last months as much as I could with the person or people I love the most who’d take me like a fuckin hanger on, but that’s not really what you’re asking.

If I was free of more of my social and romantic life and I only had some months to live and enough cash to fund an excursion, I’d go into the heart of the biggest English speaking city I could find in the world, or a few and I’d just bury myself in concerts, shows, museums, bars, I’d play open mic’s, I’d go to a rave, I’d stay sober awhile, I’d party my face off til the cancers pale in comparison and sober up again and I’d openly socialize with, make friends with, and potentially fuck every partner I could have until I’m too sick to do it anymore. I’d take the memories and I’d catalogue them openly for anyone to see cause I don’t give a shit who knows what about me for the most part and especially if I’m dying and I’d write and write and write. I’d leave something behind to be scrapped up into something. A total whirlwind mess or something cool, it doesn’t really matter. I’d like open up and be free for awhile. I’d cry a lot and I hope I’d have most of those tears out by the time I go.
