Hi everyone. I though that I would let you all know that my wifes cancer has now spread to her head....We would like to ask for prayers as we battle this terrible illness.

I know I have not been active, it seems, and hanging out in vent. I am working on my title quest and enjoy listening to the battles on vent wishing my new peep was strong enough to join in.

Please be patient and know that I will return after we have fought this.

A special thanks to Pickens and Mama Pick. I know that you have been paying my rent and helping out!!!

Kobold

We will keep you in our prayers and hope for the best if you need anything we are here for you or if you just want to talk take all the time you need we will keep paying for it

Lots of prayers coming your way, if you need anything let us know!

Oh my I am sorry to hear about you and your wives struggle, my hopes and prayers are with you both and if your wife is anything like you Kobold she's a fighter and will win.

Definitely sorry to hear Kobold. And yes sir, I will continue to pay your taxes. I just did as a matter of fact. No worries sir, ingame. Take care of yourself & your family man. Hope things turn around here for you & the Mrs. soon.
You two will be in mine & Mama's prayers.

Thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

Hope things get better for you and your wife.

If you need us we are here for you, all you need is to ask.

When we ask the Lord for deliverance, does he come down and smite our enemies, or does he place us in a situation which allows us to free ourselves?

These are life's tests, and how we answer the call is part of what defines us.

The holy season is almost upon us. I will light a candle at St. Thomas on Thursday for your wife Kobold.

Thanks everyone!

We have been told that its terminal and the only thing they can do is continue with chemo treatments and radiation until the end.

We have decided that after the rediation treatments to shrink the tumors in her brain. We are going to stop all further chemo and radiation and switch to alternative medicine. Right now she has a 3.1% chance of survival with conventional treatments so why continue.

I have done a lot of research and found that some alternative medicice does completely cure cancer. I have found people in our city that through proper diet and alternative medicine they were completely healed after being sent home to die. My wifes first chemo treatments were over $250,000.00 and later found out that all it did is shrink the tumor in her breast. I also found out that the drug they used Taxol actually shrinks and breaks up the tumor, thus spreading it through her body. She had a pet scan and brain scan before chemo and radiation and the cancer was confined to her breast, after chemo surgury and radiation it has now spread through her blood to her brain and not sure if it has spread anywhere else. Now they want to do chemo all over again.........I also found that chemo only kills 80% of cancer cells.

Cancer is caused by your immune system being overrun by toxins and a lack of certain vitamins. Cancer can be prevented. I wish my wife and I would have been more educated on this before.
The statistics are now up to 1 in 3 will develop cancer in thier life time.

I will let you know how we make out on alternative medicine. I hope our experience will help someone else.

disclaimer: I am not a doctor and these are my views after my research.

Kobold

I am so sorry to hear this Kobold.

alternative medicine sometimes is the way to go and works out for the best.

I wish you and your wife luck to find something that works.

I have lost an aunt to breast cancer, and another aunt to a brain tumor. Not an easy thing for a family to go through.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this difficult time.

My Dad went through an operation, Chemo, and then an experimental chemical regiment in order to battle Stage IV cancer that started as Colon cancer, then metastasized into his lung. He finally had an operation last year to remove the cancer mass from his lung, and the experimental chemical treatment has stopped the growth of his tumor in his Colon.

I can't even begin to explain how hard it is to watch someone you love, wither away and suffer while they are fighting for their life. We watched as my Dad battled through two heart attacks, a double by-pass, a pacemaker, chemo, and then the cancer operation in which he was technically clinically dead multiple times as they tried to save him during the operation.

He was given a less then 10% chance to live beyond a year from his diagnosis from when they found that the cancer had metastasized to his lung. Its been 2 1/2 years now, and he is still fighting.

Hands down, and with no hesitation, the Dr. who has been my Dad's physician has said time and time again, if he could bottle the healing power of family during the most trying of times he would be a Billionaire.

Your going to have to put your red cape on for this one Kobald, because it sounds like your wife is going to need every ounce of super powers you can give her in support.

I will light two candles this Thursday at St. Thomas for you. One for your wife, and one for you. Your both going to need it.

All my hopes.....

You and your wife are in my thoughts and prayers bud. If there is anything your KGB family can do to help, don't hesitate to ask.

Believe this Kobold, your KGB Family is definitely hoping & praying for the best for you both. I've researched all of the alternative medicines vs. chemotherapy too and I too believe you two are on the right track.
Things always get the hardest in trials & tribulations and we all hope that everything pulls around for you. I'm going to tell you a story real quick & to be honest, it is a true story & I don't care who in KGB knows it.

I met Mamapick through DDO (as you all know). I was "playing the field" through the internet while talking to her & getting serious with her. When I finally realized "she is the one", 3 other girls were sending me money so that I could see them. (they all believed I was going to Ohio to see my mom, when in all actuality, I was going to be with Mamapick.)
I was driving through Louisiana when I got pulled over for a quarter-sized hole in my tail light & supposedly speeding (I was 5 mph under the limit due to a cop being behind me). They immediately locked me up due to having a record in Texas, which I served all of my time for.
The Parish (known to most other states as a County Jail / Prison) literally forgot about me & instead of being in the maximum of 6 weeks, I was in for 8 weeks with no hope of contacting anyone.
A friend I had made while in the jail got out before me & contacted his lawyer & helped me get out. I got out on July 2nd, 2008 & on July 4th, 2008 I was in Mamapick's arms after having to use all of my money while in jail & had to have my father pay for a bus ticket for me due to my truck now being lost in wrecker / storage fees.
We lived together at her mother's house for 2 weeks, until we were kicked out due to her mother's boyfriend having issues with another man in the house.
We traveled back to Louisiana by selling Mama's laptop at a pawn shop & we hitchhiked (Mama was pregnant & on bed rest) all the way to Canton, Texas ... eating, sleeping wherever we could with no money.
As we were walking I-20 West, trying to get to Dallas (and hoping to hitchhike to a friend's house of mine in Houston area, we were picked up by a guy driving a mercedes that offered us a ride or a place to stay. We stayed with him & his family of 4.
They helped us so much & get on our feet. Our first born son is now 20 months old & now we have a second son which is 7 months old. Both Aiden & Thailor are doing great and surprisingly, Mine & Mamapick's relationship did nothing but get stronger throughout our whole ordeal.
-
If nothing else, make this time of your struggles & turmoils something you can look back on and say "our relationship was the strongest due to this bad time".
Wish you the best & hope things look better. We're here when you need us.

Best wishes

Best wishes to you and your family.
