*salute* and *TheRockHandClap.gif*OP, remember to eat.
My dad had 30+ radiation sessions & a lot of chemo, BUT dude only lost like 10-15 lbs at most.
We weren't messing around with his nutrition, making sure dude got in at least 2000 calories daily.
Everyone else was looking like skeletons dropping 50-60 lbs from the same treatment, doctors were straight impressed with our family's tenacity.
Dad was diagnosed with Stage IV in 2012, and he's chilling right next to me right now looking healthier than me.
Damn, sorry to hear that. I wish you well.
What stage are you?
I am 34 too. Something about this age has gotten me thinking. Maybe cause I am almost like half way to 70 or things that people do in their past start really catching up to them around this time or soon. I have a friend that has been smoking since 14 years old and now has smoked over 50% of his life. The dude is at a pack a day, smells like crap and doesn't take care of himself physically. Like it was all fun and games when we were young but I can only imagine what his lungs look like now. In theory I think the guy has like 20 years left at this rate. I almost think its crazy that he knows what he's going to die of and yet, he won't do a damn thing about it.
I had a couple of people that had cancer and if there is any advise I can give you is fight it and put a real effort into doing it. My uncle was stage 3 when he was diagnosed and cut drinking, eating specific things and more in order to stay alive. Doctors gave him only a couple of years and he lived 10 more. Don't take this for granted. Literally fight this bastard and think positive. All that seriously can help.
Good luck.
This is the trippy thing about health. There are those people that do all the smoking, drinking, bad diet, lack of exercise and yet they still live a long, regular life. Then you have the ones that are up on all the "scientific studies" on how to eat, sleep, etc and they get hit with a cancer out of the blue. Just goes to show, it doesn't matter what you do, anyone can get got.
Stay strong. You can beat this!
What city are you in bro? Maybe there are some local cats that you can chill with. Jut try to stay positive fam, it sounds cliche, but make sure you're taking advatage of every moment.
