I sure hope that they get ABSOLUTELY ALL of it! And, all in 1 operation! All thoughts and Prayers are with you brother! Please take care and keep us posted! Best wishes to you and all your family always! May God Bless you all always!
Kurt, I had squamous cell carcinoma just below my left ear. As you said, the biopsy results take a couple weeks. My biopsy confirmed it was squamous. They numbed me with lidocaine. It was weird watching them cut into my face out of the corner of my eye. Didn't feel a thing, and so far, all good. That was over two years ago. The hardest part was my job as a firefighter. The stitches were exactly where my mask goes, and where the headsets we were while in the truck fits. All will be fine.
Kurt, I have a herniated disc. In my experience steroids and chiropractic treatment provide temporary relief. Core strengthening and stretching are the only remedies I have found that work long term for me. I hope and pray for the best for you.
I've been sick a littles while. Feeling better. Prays on the way. Heading to Waterloo to visit Mama's grave. Early. Happy Turkey Day. I've had 3 back surgeries. Feeling those surgeries now.
Hey SCHIMDT. I give credit you're trying your best to from being a couch potato. Retired man at such a young age. Go as long as you're able to stand the pain. But B SAFE SCHIMDT. 🚛💨💨💨💨
Prayers and you can do it! I had multiple skin cancer spots removed just like you. All went well. Yours will to! Hope your back is doing better. Have a great week off and get First Class repaired and ready to roll.😊
Praying that they get all the carcinoma. I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, a form of breast cancer. Went through chemo, surgery, radiation and a year of immunotherapy. I'm now 3.5 years in remission and doing good. I tire easily, but get around well for a 67 year old with bad knees
Sorry about that, Kurt, but it is important that you're taking care of it. I had one mole on my left wrist, sun hitting my hand when I drove. It was melanoma, so they proceeded with surgery, then with a colonoscopy, found out I had advanced colon cancer, and no symptoms. They did everything needed including surgery and two years of chemo. I changed my diet, no sugar, ate healthier and I say after all I went thru it wasn't my turn to go. Its been 9 years, all good so far.. Take care, get checked!! Think positive, get better
You'll be OK , my wife had same type of cancer of her nasal floor 5 yrs ago and 37 bouts of radiation check up every 6 months and everything is fine. We will pray for you.
Take care of your health. I hope that works on your pain. I love it when Dr. say you’ll feel a little pressure. It’s a nicer way than saying you’re gonna feel a little pain.
Good morning ☕️ Or at least I am hoping so. My goodness. What a way to spend your rainy day off, Kurt. Here's hoping the shots kicked in. I am sorry that you have a form of skin cancer. I am glad that you went in & had it looked at & that it isn't the bad kind of cancer. Cancer sucks!! Have a blessed day & weekend ahead. 🙏🏻😇✝️💕 I am sure the Germans loved their MacDonald's cheese burgers 😋😉👍🏻 Love you & your family ❤
Man, that's a bummer just before Christmas Kurt ! Hope you get fixed soon, get back to normal duties and cut back on the endless journeys to all of the different quacks ! Take care man, from a fellow (UK based) dork trucker 😊
Kurt I've had 2 back surgeries over 20yr. Period, 2 herniated discs each ruptured about 10yrs apart (1999and2011) I tried to work through the rupture in 2011 that that was a mistake it caused permanent miserable nerve damage in the left leg, if you have a disc rupture you will probably not be able to take the pain for very long I would highly advise surgery to remove the pressure on nerve or risk permanent nerve damage, it really messed up my left leg. I do feel for you, God bless hope it goes good for you.
Good informative video thanks for update on what is going on we appreciate it cause some subscribers have stuff going on also and your always upfront and honest with us we appreciate it kurt you know the Schmidt army has your back on anything you go through you like a family member you are a great u tuber in anything you do cause you be kind of person who can talk to anyone and make them comfortable thanks for posting god bless the family just waiting. For the first class videos thanks again
My husband had the same cancer on his ear. Had it removed. It is not a fast moving skin cancer. My husband drove OTR and it was the esr on the left side which exposed to the sun when he drove. Enjoy your videos.
Hello 👋 Kurt ya know I had mentioned it before I am 67 and I have too herniated disc’s in my lower back and osteoarthritis I take Golden Raisins put them in a mason jar fill the jar with Raisins and then fill it to the top with Gin it can be cheep gin and take one TSP of the Raisins every night before bed it works for me it’s not a cure all because your still working but it will help I think good luck Brother ❤️👍✌️💪🏻☮️
Kurt, there are no good cancers. I agree, what you have is minor. I had prostate cancer, so I had it removed, luckily it hadn't spread to far. After seeing my father suffer from it and the chemo. I was determined NOT to do that. Now most prostate cancer is survivable, but not 35 years ago. Good luck luck with this and hopefully there is no more.
Started going to a local dermatologist... im 70, retired, was very active in the rocky mtns ...snow skiing, hiking, working outside... ranching and tree cutting. (I was a suntanned god in my youth😂).... but the skin damage caught up... two malignant patvhes ( of the slow grow kind) have been removed and i do a yearly face cream that kills cells that are/were in the very early stages of cancerous growth... the face exploded for a month... but it killed the bad cells and gave me new skin...yikes.. sunburn gets you eventually..🎉
I will soon be doing the doctor thing as well. I lost hearing in my only good ear. I hope it's temporary but it's not looking too good. I thank youtube for closed captions. lol My insurance needs to be changed as well. I hate dealing with medical stuff. I have seen way too many doctors in my life. One gets tired of it all. Good luck with your procedures. I hope that cancer is not serious but cancer is always serious. Best of luck with it.
I have two ruptured discs, as well. Both from a workplace injury in 1981 as a punk 20 year-old. First thing they wanted to do was operate. But they needed as much swelling to subside as possible. Two weeks later I cancelled the surgery at the last minute, much to the chagrin of everyone. It just didn’t feel ‘right.’ The whole thing felt rushed. I also had more than one person tell me, “It’s rare to only ever have one back surgery.” That’s all it took. I discovered chiropractic and the rest is history. The best thing I ever did…and this is a tough one…and I’m sincere when I say this…I was built as a little smaller version of you for much of my life. But the very best thing I did for my back was reinvent myself by losing weight. A lot of it. You’d be surprised how great your spine, and knees, can feel with a considerable weight loss. In my case - over 30 lbs. Did I keep it off all these years? No. But over the years my back would let me know when I was carrying too much. A quick 10 lb adjustment here and there worked wonders. And kept me off the operating table thus far at age 62. Good luck. It sucks feeling like you feel. Been there. But better days are out there, if you want them bad enough. Only you can answer that.
Man, I wish you would notice this comment and go find those back machines I was telling you about. 20 years ago I had a crazy back problem. I accidentally found a clinic with these specialized machines and after three minute visits I have never had an issue since. Before that I was going to chiropractors and it was pretty much useless. If these machines were in every city in America we would have 95% less back problems. miracle machines
@ they can be hard to find. They’re not around everywhere or chiropractors and physical therapist would literally be out of business. I live in Oklahoma City and we do not even have any here. The closest office is in Tulsa
I get it. Not exactly what you're going through but about some things working for one and not for another. I have several different diagnosed conditions, anxiety, chronic fatigue syndrome, gerd, migraines, kidney stones, body pain. I take antidepressants and other things that actually do seem to work for me and don't for others. And that's okay!
Do guard your health jealously that way there will be no regrets! Preserve the status quo. A fellow truck driver in 1972 showed me how he had to sleep not in the sleeper compartment but over the doghouse. Yeah, his doctor told him if his backbone was a car he'd scrap it, it was just that bad. Preserve the status quo!!! Be well, do well.
I think every spine doctor has noticed that our spine is not intended for our walking on our hind legs. My spine surgeon claimed that every human spine is messed up by age 30 and that the best evidence of its condition is whether it hurts or not. Of course he was only acquainted with painful spines that are likely to look bad.
As someone who has had 12 lower back injections for herniated disk’s, I understand the pain. But Kurt, have the doctors check your hips. My back problems were caused by my hips. Also, have you looked into getting a T.I.N.S unit? It is like electric shock therapy. Very low pulses that help with pain discomfort. I use my regularly.
Sorry to hear of your troubles. I have had back surgery twice for 2 herniated discs in my lumbar spine. The 1st one was an absolute train wreck but the 2nd one went well. I would recommend against back surgery if you can avoid it but sadly I could not as I put it off as long as I could to the point of nearly loosing my ability to walk. Tried 3 rounds of injections before first back surgery and they did nothing. If you read up on them you may decide you don't want anymore also. It's rough having a bad back, I wish you the best going forward. My neck is starting to mess up now and it has me scared as my neck has always been a very sensitive part of my body. All this and I'm only 41.
And i was healthy when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and I thought it was my fault and they said I didn't do anything wrong and I was always healthy 👍👍👍👍 I'm going to pray for you Schmidt and it will be ok you are going to be fine and they catch it in time just like mine and it didn't spread either I had a cat scan and after that it was CCIN Truebeam treatments for 6 weeks I started on Thanksgiving and ended on the day after New years Day and I rang the bell and I cried after that rang the bell three times and it felt like God was watching over me and he was put your faith in God and family and you got a lot of love in your family and friends and you have me on your side and now I am cancer free for one year being cancer free this next week one year
I have had 13 surgeries on my back and carry a neutral stimulation machine to reduce the painkiller load. My situation and story is alot different than most folks. Take care of your back and stay away from the surgeons at this point
22 years ago I had two bulging discs. I went through chiropractic route they did rupture causing no feeling from my waist down. They did emergency surgery but only about 30% of the feeling came back. I walk with two braces and a cane . My trucking carreer stopped that day. It took two years to walk again. For me surgery would have q been a better option but no two cases are the same. Just be very careful the spine is nothing to take lightly.
This past May I was diagnosed with Melanoma, which I originally thought was a cyst until it showed its ugly face - literally. I was overseas sailing around the world. Well, that ended quickly. I spent 3 months dealing with socialized medicine (pure f'ing evil) trying to get some kind of path forward to no avail and ended up return stateside to deal with it. My tumor was growing like a weed, and was the size of a grapefruit, half inside and half outside my arm completely exposed and smelling like death. I was prepared and already had accepted the worst, I was very lucky in that it did not spread and stayed localized with only one lymph node affected by it. I started Immunotherapy (so glad to avoid chemo) in September and have had three treatments so far and the forth next Monday. My tumor is less than 25% what it was at the start, no longer smells of death, although I have this wicked hole in my arm where it ruptured through that the skin is slowing closing up - absolutely incredible. Monday we will decide whether to operate to remove the rest or let the treatments run their course and let my natural immune system kill it off. Melanoma is a bastard but the new treatments are absolute miracles. Good luck with yours!
Man sorry for your back troubles. But man up I did 5 rounds of the back shots. I have L1 - L7 of my lower discs bad and 2 in my upper back. You must of had a not so good of a doctor.
I have 5 herniated disc in my neck, that is pressing against my spine and is blocking my spinal fluid. Surgery is necessary, my chiropractor wont touch my neck, Also i have binocular diplopia which is double vision, im hoping when i have surgery that will fix that too, because of the cranial nerves being pinched. Old age is not good for humans and dogs! Lol
I hear ya I just had the steroid injection into T6 and T7 first the right side then a week later the left side not fun at all but if it reduces my pain then yes it’s worth it but it was painful not going to lie, take care of yourself and what works for one doe’s not necessarily work for another.🥰🥰
My wife gets those shots in her back about once a year. The same, they help for a week or so and that's about it. She goes to a nice pain doctor once a month to get her monthly scrip for pain meds. No fun. Eat a burger for me too.
I got a few years on you. Seems like the older I get the more things go south on me and the recovery seems to take a lot longer. They did a steroid injection in my lower spine monday. Same thing: burning and dull pain. Today is Friday and pain is back already. Same here 2 herniated discs.Above and below the fused discs from breaking my back years ago. Look at Voltarin gel. It does me a lot of good.
I HATE needles! I classify shots like insect bites, Mosquito, Bee, Wasp, Hornet.... and then there's 16 penny Nail! Something that would cause JC to take his Dad's name in vain!
Hey brother, haven’t seen you for a while. Been worried about you lately. I understand about “ you’re going to feel a little pressure “ When I was told I wanted to stomp on his foot after I told him that. I just put you on my men’s group prayer list so just hang in. I don’t care how much of a hoss you are, cancer is a scare word no matter what they say. Havagudun and try to follow docs orders.
Whattt I would get a second opinion be4 u go through all that also sending up prayers 4 healing and unspoken and 4 everyone and bless great healthy peaceful safe journeys travels recovery and happy day everyday in name of the Creator God/ Yahweh and Yeshua/ Jesus and the Holy Ghost/ Spirit Amen much honor and respect keep praying keep watching the sky and keep walking tall always also that pain dr did wrong he was to put u to slp to do the spinal blk in ur bk he must be old school dr cus modern days they put u to slp that doesn't sound right however don't blame u 4 not going bk also u r right the chiropractors r better but most insurance doesn't cover them and its a shame however bro u earned the cheese burgers that's the worse way to get them spinal blk also as 4 the neck do not let them do biopsy take the whole thing out then they send it off but make sure they take the whole thing out also prayers that's it all gone and know praying 4 u and yall and hammer dwn keep'em on the pavement/ roads and keep'em rollin also catch u on the flippy flops and smile 🕊🦅✝️💪🙂💖💖 🚛🌅🌌⛺🌄🏞🏖
Good thing they found it early. Found out today I have melanoma, Plus uterer and colon cancer. Already spread not been a good year. Hang in there buddy.
A year ago I was receiving radiation and chemo for throat cancer that was that same type of cancer cells. The cure really worked me over as in I will never be the same as I was. Please take this serious Kurt.
I had spinal done today. Very uncomfortable feeling. I used to be a CNA/MEDICAL ASSISTANT. If a provider tells you ,"you not in pain". Very inappropriate report it to administration department. Your right. Keep going strong blessings and prayers
gotta be patient with cortisone injections. They do take 2-3 days to work. Should feel some relief then. I would NOT go see chiropractor right after injection. Let the meds do their work. Don't be your own worst enemy. I would give it a week before going back on the road.
I had made some Comments before about my Back Situation while Driving and I was able to get my Truck home in 2018 and im 58 years old now and no more as Im Retired now and my Back took me out and had a operation a few years ago but my 2 nerves are pinched in the spine and so much Degeneration of Discs and everything else But now its Going to be another operation to give me a better Quality of life and it will be a Multi level with screws and Rods in a small Area but Im looking Forward to finally get out of this pain.
Check out TOPS surgery. Heard it is for the back and they are only doing it at MAYO and CLEVELAND CLINIC. I talked with a guy who had it done and he says he is 110%
Just got home from a six day stay in the hospital for the very same thing. Large lump but the cancer moved deeper into my nerves so inpatient operation was needed. 7 hours worth. Hope they get all yours. Good luck and keep on trucking
Do NOT put off anything with your squamous cell carcinoma! Please! Yes, it is often curable, but I recently lost my husband of 50 years to that. Yes, I want to scare you, because I care about you and your family.
Your cancer doctor suspects you have a squamous-cell cancer. The biopsy will decide. If you do, you need Mohs surgery. It's done with local anesthesia, and the surgeon removes thin layers of skin one layer at a time and examines each for cancer. This procedure continues until only cancer-free tissue is found. You seem to be someone whose ruptured spinal disks need surgical repair, since you probably cannot do the amount of resting that can lead to more than temporary relief. A chiropractor cannot remove the extruded pulp that's causing your pain. I've had both the cancer and disk surgeries, with excellent results. Just protect your skin from the sun, and the squamous cells will treat you right.
Anything you weren't born with, is age-related deterioration. If they say it takes 3 days to work, don't make decisions based upon it not working by the time your burgers are handed to you. The over/under line in Vegas on how many McDonalds trips you'll make before starting your cleaner new lifestyle, is not 1.5 McDonalds trips, in fact I'd take the over if it were 149.5 visits. I'm betting you'll change when they threaten you with imminent death, and it looks like you're not even close yet. I'd love to be proven wrong. I just had an internal biopsy pushed out to February, because my November appointment for it got changed to removing a stent that unexpectedly had to be placed between my bladder and a kidney, when they spent 3x as long as expected removing a stone in October. If a shot bothers you, I hope you never have a stent removed through your bladder and urinary tract, without any sedation. It wasn't as painful as it was downright weird. They said it would be 3 or 4 out of 10 for pain/discomfort. I'd call it 0 or 1 for pain, 2 for discomfort, 8 for strangeness. But I can put up with anything I'm prepared for, and the serious monkey business only lasted 10 or 20 seconds, the worst of it a second or two.
I sure hope that they get ABSOLUTELY ALL of it! And, all in 1 operation! All thoughts and Prayers are with you brother! Please take care and keep us posted! Best wishes to you and all your family always! May God Bless you all always!
Well your always positive and still tell jokes which is very hard to do while in pain. Hope you get better soon.
Kurt, I had squamous cell carcinoma just below my left ear. As you said, the biopsy results take a couple weeks. My biopsy confirmed it was squamous. They numbed me with lidocaine. It was weird watching them cut into my face out of the corner of my eye. Didn't feel a thing, and so far, all good. That was over two years ago. The hardest part was my job as a firefighter. The stitches were exactly where my mask goes, and where the headsets we were while in the truck fits. All will be fine.
Kurt, I have a herniated disc. In my experience steroids and chiropractic treatment provide temporary relief. Core strengthening and stretching are the only remedies I have found that work long term for me. I hope and pray for the best for you.
God bless you.
I've been sick a littles while. Feeling better. Prays on the way. Heading to Waterloo to visit Mama's grave. Early. Happy Turkey Day. I've had 3 back surgeries. Feeling those surgeries now.
PRAYERS FOR EVERYTHING GOES WELL KURT
Hey SCHIMDT. I give credit you're trying your best to from being a couch potato. Retired man at such a young age. Go as long as you're able to stand the pain. But B SAFE SCHIMDT.

Hang in there. You'll be OK. Rest up.
Praying that they get all the carcinoma. I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, a form of breast cancer. Went through chemo, surgery, radiation and a year of immunotherapy. I'm now 3.5 years in remission and doing good. I tire easily, but get around well for a 67 year old with bad knees
🤗🙏🙏🙏
Prayers to you and your family
Sorry about that, Kurt, but it is important that you're taking care of it.
I had one mole on my left wrist, sun hitting my hand when I drove. It was melanoma, so they proceeded with surgery, then with a colonoscopy, found out I had advanced colon cancer, and no symptoms.
They did everything needed including surgery and two years of chemo. I changed my diet, no sugar, ate healthier and I say after all I went thru it wasn't my turn to go.
Its been 9 years, all good so far..
Take care, get checked!!
Think positive, get better

Take care of yourself and sending prayers to you 🙏 great video once again.
Take care of your health. I hope that works on your pain. I love it when Dr. say you’ll feel a little pressure. It’s a nicer way than saying you’re gonna feel a little pain.
Good morning ☕️ Or at least I am hoping so. My goodness. What a way to spend your rainy day off, Kurt. Here's hoping the shots kicked in. I am sorry that you have a form of skin cancer. I am glad that you went in & had it looked at & that it isn't the bad kind of cancer. Cancer sucks!! Have a blessed day & weekend ahead. 🙏🏻😇✝️💕 I am sure the Germans loved their MacDonald's cheese burgers 😋😉👍🏻 Love you & your family ❤
Had one off those injections aswel, and Yes they hurt like hell, i wish you all the best Kurt.
Kurt ever hear the phrase when it rains it pours, well for you my friend, when it rains it is a freaking snow blizzard!
As one driver to another . You seem normal to me . Everything gonna be all right !! Still trucking at 67 .
Man, that's a bummer just before Christmas Kurt ! Hope you get fixed soon, get back to normal duties and cut back on the endless journeys to all of the different quacks ! Take care man, from a fellow (UK based) dork trucker 😊
Kurt you do what ever you feel comfortable doing with your back issues! I hope you can deal with screamish with having it cleaned out!
Hey Kurt! All that kinda went hand in hand with the weather there. The life of a trucker. Aint it grand!
Kurt I've had 2 back surgeries over 20yr. Period, 2 herniated discs each ruptured about 10yrs apart (1999and2011) I tried to work through the rupture in 2011 that that was a mistake it caused permanent miserable nerve damage in the left leg, if you have a disc rupture you will probably not be able to take the pain for very long I would highly advise surgery to remove the pressure on nerve or risk permanent nerve damage, it really messed up my left leg.

Hey Schmidt! Awesome video! Have you thought about decompression? Might help some.
I will soon be doing the doctor thing as well. I lost hearing in my only good ear. I hope it's temporary but it's not looking too good.

Had surgery for two different types of cancer.They claim that they got it all.Nose chemo or radiation.Good luck to you Kurt stay positive.
I am with you on this. 4 Cheese Burgers and a Coke will fix everything.
Your always positive
I had the same thing done on each arm warch them doing it kind of neat lol

WOW 😮 they let you drive YOURSELF home?? When I’ve had all of mine, many many many times, NONE of the drs would let me drive myself home.
I feel for you on the back shots! It feels like needles the size of pencils and the steroids are like molasses!

I have had 13 surgeries on my back and carry a neutral stimulation machine to reduce the painkiller load. My situation and story is alot different than most folks. Take care of your back and stay away from the surgeons at this point
My wife had shots and she DID NOT have a good time. My wife has also had a few of that type of skin cancer removed.
They dug the cancer out of my face ear arm from forty years of driving truck
mom going to be ticked your her baby boy and good thoughts for you 👍
22 years ago I had two bulging discs. I went through chiropractic route they did rupture causing no feeling from my waist down.
They did emergency surgery but only about 30% of the feeling came back. I walk with two braces and a cane .
My trucking carreer stopped that day. It took two years to walk again. For me surgery would have q been a better option but no two cases are the same. Just be very careful the spine is nothing to take lightly.
Geez, what a day! I had those shots in the back. Stopped them because they only lasted about a couple of weeks.
I have had those shots in the back they are no fun!!
This past May I was diagnosed with Melanoma, which I originally thought was a cyst until it showed its ugly face - literally. I was overseas sailing around the world. Well, that ended quickly. I spent 3 months dealing with socialized medicine (pure f'ing evil) trying to get some kind of path forward to no avail and ended up return stateside to deal with it. My tumor was growing like a weed, and was the size of a grapefruit, half inside and half outside my arm completely exposed and smelling like death. I was prepared and already had accepted the worst, I was very lucky in that it did not spread and stayed localized with only one lymph node affected by it. I started Immunotherapy (so glad to avoid chemo) in September and have had three treatments so far and the forth next Monday. My tumor is less than 25% what it was at the start, no longer smells of death, although I have this wicked hole in my arm where it ruptured through that the skin is slowing closing up - absolutely incredible. Monday we will decide whether to operate to remove the rest or let the treatments run their course and let my natural immune system kill it off. Melanoma is a bastard but the new treatments are absolute miracles. Good luck with yours!
Oh kurt what a bad day. Uff.
schmidt go to chiopractor that put you on table stretch your body for your discs non pain hope you feel better
Man sorry for your back troubles. But man up I did 5 rounds of the back shots. I have L1 - L7 of my lower discs bad and 2 in my upper back. You must of had a not so good of a doctor.
Its basically skin i had a large one on my armbthat got removed 2 yrs. Gl kurt .
I have a collapsed disc in my spine, also Arthritis.
Injections + Lyrica have worked for me. (2 herniated discs)
Squamous cell areas usually require mohs surgery. No big deal, I’ve had several for basil cell cancers
look into Red Light therapy
I have 5 herniated disc in my neck, that is pressing against my spine and is blocking my spinal fluid. Surgery is necessary, my chiropractor wont touch my neck, Also i have binocular diplopia which is double vision, im hoping when i have surgery that will fix that too, because of the cranial nerves being pinched. Old age is not good for humans and dogs! Lol
I had a cortisone shot in my wrist for a work injury. I can say that without a doubt, I will NEVER do that again.
I hear ya I just had the steroid injection into T6 and T7 first the right side then a week later the left side not fun at all but if it reduces my pain then yes it’s worth it but it was painful not going to lie, take care of yourself and what works for one doe’s not necessarily work for another.🥰🥰
Screw cheeseburgers, get the Mc Chicken!
My wife gets those shots in her back about once a year. The same, they help for a week or so and that's about it. She goes to a nice pain doctor once a month to get her monthly scrip for pain meds. No fun. Eat a burger for me too.
Er is allways hope last november the dockter say it is over in May he say no cancer anymore
I got a few years on you. Seems like the older I get the more things go south on me and the recovery seems to take a lot longer. They did a steroid injection in my lower spine monday. Same thing: burning and dull pain. Today is Friday and pain is back already. Same here 2 herniated discs.Above and below the fused discs from breaking my back years ago. Look at Voltarin gel. It does me a lot of good.
❤❤❤
McDonald's isn't food,lol, Kurt.
Try having a shot in the neck hurts like hell, lol. Nope not again had neck surgery.
Praying your pain goes away and for complete healing. You do what you feel is best for you. God bless. 🙏🏼🩵✝️
I HATE needles! I classify shots like insect bites, Mosquito, Bee, Wasp, Hornet.... and then there's 16 penny Nail! Something that would cause JC to take his Dad's name in vain!
I don’t know if the doctor told you or not but after having steroid injections near the spine you can’t have intimate relations for three months ?
Hey brother, haven’t seen you for a while. Been worried about you lately. I understand about “ you’re going to feel a little pressure “ When I was told I wanted to stomp on his foot after I told him that. I just put you on my men’s group prayer list so just hang in. I don’t care how much of a hoss you are, cancer is a scare word no matter what they say. Havagudun and try to follow docs orders.
Whattt I would get a second opinion be4 u go through all that also sending up prayers 4 healing and unspoken and 4 everyone and bless great healthy peaceful safe journeys travels recovery and happy day everyday in name of the Creator God/ Yahweh and Yeshua/ Jesus and the Holy Ghost/ Spirit Amen much honor and respect keep praying keep watching the sky and keep walking tall always also that pain dr did wrong he was to put u to slp to do the spinal blk in ur bk he must be old school dr cus modern days they put u to slp that doesn't sound right however don't blame u 4 not going bk also u r right the chiropractors r better but most insurance doesn't cover them and its a shame however bro u earned the cheese burgers that's the worse way to get them spinal blk also as 4 the neck do not let them do biopsy take the whole thing out then they send it off but make sure they take the whole thing out also prayers that's it all gone and know praying 4 u and yall and hammer dwn keep'em on the pavement/ roads and keep'em rollin also catch u on the flippy flops and smile

Good thing they found it early. Found out today I have melanoma, Plus uterer and colon cancer. Already spread not been a good year. Hang in there buddy.
A year ago I was receiving radiation and chemo for throat cancer that was that same type of cancer cells. The cure really worked me over as in I will never be the same as I was. Please take this serious Kurt.
I had spinal done today. Very uncomfortable feeling. I used to be a CNA/MEDICAL ASSISTANT. If a provider tells you ,"you not in pain". Very inappropriate report it to administration department. Your right. Keep going strong blessings and prayers
I enjoy your videos
I’m thinking a double quarter pounder with cheese split in half for the Germans…
With a vanilla shake for dessert 😂
gotta be patient with cortisone injections. They do take 2-3 days to work. Should feel some relief then. I would NOT go see chiropractor right after injection. Let the meds do their work. Don't be your own worst enemy. I would give it a week before going back on the road.
KURT MAN OH MAN I PRAY YOUR OK BETWEEN CANCER & YOUR BACK GOD LOVE YA !! ✊✊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
McRib comes back 12/3 are you ready?
Hello hello
I had made some Comments before about my Back Situation while Driving and I was able to get my Truck home in 2018 and im 58 years old now and no more as Im Retired now and my Back took me out and had a operation a few years ago but my 2 nerves are pinched in the spine and so much Degeneration of Discs and everything else But now its Going to be another operation to give me a better Quality of life and it will be a Multi level with screws and Rods in a small Area but Im looking Forward to finally get out of this pain.
Check out TOPS surgery. Heard it is for the back and they are only doing it at MAYO and CLEVELAND CLINIC. I talked with a guy who had it done and he says he is 110%
Just got home from a six day stay in the hospital for the very same thing. Large lump but the cancer moved deeper into my nerves so inpatient operation was needed. 7 hours worth. Hope they get all yours. Good luck and keep on trucking
Good luck to u both 👏🏼👏🏼👊🏼✌🏼
🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏
Do NOT put off anything with your squamous cell carcinoma! Please! Yes, it is often curable, but I recently lost my husband of 50 years to that. Yes, I want to scare you, because I care about you and your family.
Your cancer doctor suspects you have a squamous-cell cancer. The biopsy will decide. If you do, you need Mohs surgery. It's done with local anesthesia, and the surgeon removes thin layers of skin one layer at a time and examines each for cancer. This procedure continues until only cancer-free tissue is found. You seem to be someone whose ruptured spinal disks need surgical repair, since you probably cannot do the amount of resting that can lead to more than temporary relief. A chiropractor cannot remove the extruded pulp that's causing your pain. I've had both the cancer and disk surgeries, with excellent results. Just protect your skin from the sun, and the squamous cells will treat you right.
Had those needles 3 years ago. Good now. But I ain't doing that again.
You deserve way more than McDonald's after all of that. I'll be praying for you. Stay safe, and God bless.
Everything is cancer these days.Tired of hearing that word
Anything you weren't born with, is age-related deterioration.
If they say it takes 3 days to work, don't make decisions based upon it not working by the time your burgers are handed to you.
The over/under line in Vegas on how many McDonalds trips you'll make before starting your cleaner new lifestyle, is not 1.5 McDonalds trips, in fact I'd take the over if it were 149.5 visits. I'm betting you'll change when they threaten you with imminent death, and it looks like you're not even close yet. I'd love to be proven wrong.
I just had an internal biopsy pushed out to February, because my November appointment for it got changed to removing a stent that unexpectedly had to be placed between my bladder and a kidney, when they spent 3x as long as expected removing a stone in October. If a shot bothers you, I hope you never have a stent removed through your bladder and urinary tract, without any sedation. It wasn't as painful as it was downright weird. They said it would be 3 or 4 out of 10 for pain/discomfort. I'd call it 0 or 1 for pain, 2 for discomfort, 8 for strangeness. But I can put up with anything I'm prepared for, and the serious monkey business only lasted 10 or 20 seconds, the worst of it a second or two.
