His whole post is lovely... sad news, but he's good with his family and straight with God.

Yall can click on it even without an account, it's worth the full read.

God bless him and his.

I watched it take my brother in about 4 months. I was lucky to see him everyday but it was tough to watch it take my big brother. Hope he spends time with his loved ones.

we need to figure out, as a country and society, what is causing metastatic cancers to skyrocket for young people more recently.


It’s bad. I know a girl I went to HS with, 35, just found stage 4 colon cancer metastasized to her lymph nodes and lungs. And it came on fast with no symptoms just one day bam

I don't know anyone close that this has happened to.. it is a huge fear of mine.

How do people find out, the no symptoms but one day bam?

Oh good grief Ivermectin isn’t going to treat stage 4 anything, stop with the goofy nonsense and neither did your grandfather beat stage 4 pancreatic cancer with Ivermectin or Fenbendazole.


Oh frick you. You fricking liberals make me so goddamn sick. You’re sucking the cock of Pfizer so hard that you won’t even let people know about the miracles ivermectin has done for people. You’re part of a death cult.

Wonder if a certain pesticide got him

"Cancer risk varies by region, with the Midwest showing higher risk for some cancers, potentially linked to heavy corn farming and associated pesticide use, notes Frontiers."

Absolutely hate cancer, just about everyone is robbed of someone they love by cancer eventually. I hope I live to see the day that shite is eradicated.

It’s not uncommon for you to have little to no symptoms until late stage. I had a coworker with pancreatic cancer that was fine until they had some abdominal pain and started appearing jaundice.

It’s so the worst fear of mine because both my grandparents on my mother’s side died in their 50s from cancer. Both were caught in late stage. I always make sure my mom gets everything checked out.

Seed oils, processed food, unnecessary vaccinations, sugar, rubbing chemicals onto your body all the time, by lack of sunlight, pesticides
all of this, especially processed food and all the variations on sugar which we willingly and enthusiastically shovel down our throats is what’s killing us.

Genetics may play a part in the type of cancer, but it’s definitely the attack We constantly put on our bodies through what we ingest that is causing the skyrocketing rates of cancer and metabolic diseases, which includes everything.

A lot of people want something to blame for their cancers, but most of the time it’s random

Just because we don't currently have the ability to pinpoint the cause of many cancers, that doesn't mean they are random.

We will figure it out in time.

And yes ultraviolet radiation does cause some skin cancers. The mutations it causes are known.

I have pancreatic cancer. Some may remember my post on the O-T back in June. (An aside, a very important one: My 29-year old daughter was diagnosed the same week with stage-four breast cancer. She is doing as well as can be expected for now). Also, my dad died of stage-four pancreatic cancer in 2017. He lived 7 months after diagnosis and multiple chemo and radiation treatments.

Needless to say, I’m intimately familiar with this disease. I’ve had chemo and the Whipple procedure on 10-31. I’ve lost 40 pounds since my diagnosis, from 195 to 155. I hope to slowly gain it back as my insides heal. My post-surgery pathology showed no signs of metastasis. The only cancer was the tumor on my pancreas. This is a sneaky son of a bitch, however, so I’m only cautiously optimistic.

Unfortunately Sen. Sasse is looking at an uphill battle to say the least. I’ll be surprised if he lives 18 months. Treatment of this cancer has improved greatly even since my dad died, but it’s still a monster and the statistics on stage-four cases are grim. Experts suggest it could become the leading cause of cancer deaths within 10 years. It’s top 3 now.

Probably a regular checkup. For example my insurance covers two “Heathy U” visits a year where you just go and have your GP do a blood panel and check you out and if anything looks abnormal they’ll send you for a CT scan or MRI. Usually for cancer it’s high white blood cell counts or something.


Or the person gets symptoms but by that time it’s far too advanced. When it was stage 1-3 and not metastasized there were no symptoms then it metastasizes and you get symptoms and the dr finds it only to realize it’s likely too late or will be a very tough battle

KingoftheWorld, my husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in November. His tumor is also contained to his pancreas. He is doing four rounds of neoadjuvant chemo with the plan to have the Whipple procedure early next year. He had his first round of chemo yesterday.

Unfortunately, he lost his dad to pancreatic cancer in 2021 so we know how fast it can change.

Praying that you have good outcome.

I guess maybe I should get a GP… dropped mine during Covid.
