Chemotherapy

[Gintrap 14]

Been looking in on THL for years and enjoy reading many of the posts in various sections. As a quiet bloke by nature I've never really felt the need to comment as others have usually put down what I'm thinking, but thought I'd just add my experience on this. Dytkos, sorry to hear of your condition I've no idea how you get your head around that. At the end of 2024 I was diagnosed with cancer in my right tonsil and the base of my tongue and started an intensive six week course of radiotherapy and chemotherapy after the shooting season. I had radiotherapy five days a week and chemo once a week. I guess there must be different strengths and types of chemo because it didn't affect me to much,  never lost any hair, not that I've got much left to loose, my taste went real quick and I did feel very tired, I drove myself to and from the hospital and I kept working for the first two weeks but by the third I would get up go out with the dogs for a couple of hours then have to have a kip. Actually having the chemo wasn't to bad, it was done in a chemo ward you had a nice comfy chair and all the equipment was on a trolley stand so they would put a catheter in the back of your hand and connect you up but if you wanted to get up and walk about or go for a pee you just unplugged it from the wall and took the whole lot with you on the trolley stand thing. The chemo dehydrates you so, for me they would pump two bags or fluid into me, then the chemo bag and then another bag of fluid. The whole thing took about four hours. Like I said I am sure different chemo affect folk differently, this is just my experience. It was the radiotherapy that messed me up because it burnt away the cancer and a chunk of the inside if my mouth making eating a nightmare and even now a swig if port burns like hell. Luckily for me it worked and I'm now in remission, was back to work by the end off spring and even though I'll be sixty this year am back to being one of the fittest in the beating line. I know my situation is a lot different to yours, just thought I'd share my experience if chemo and hope it helps in some way.  I wish you all the best luck Dytkos.

There’s a reason why ivermectin and fenben work with a lot of cancers, both treat parasites

It does seem to the untrained eye....that cancers are similar to parasites....so these drugs have got to be worth a go....when you read all the testimonies of people that have used these things and they have worked.....time to ring the vet and see what you can get hold of
