This is such a fab, inspirational video! Since my diagnosis and treatment, I've found travelling very hard. It's a shame as I used to be so adventurous. But I would like to travel a little in 2025 without anxiety attacks!
Yay, Mike! Good to hear about all of the positives in 2024. I wish you a long, cancer-free, stress-free life. I am sending you love, hugs and happy new year wishes.❤❤
What a positive attitude can achieve!!! Congratulations!!! It is important to express that. Could you make a video about the struggles... if any... of immunotherapy? Happy New Year to everybody!
Thanks! I've definitely made some throughout the last couple years - check out these two and maybe poke around throughout that section of my videos: th-cam.com/video/zkuLWw6zpd8/w-d-xo.html, th-cam.com/video/ksNZBL-Zdw8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sharing - very helpful. When you say you noticed your cancerous lymph node swellings, can you describe a little more? (Size, mobility, firmness, any pain?). I try not to be an alarmist with mine, but also don’t want to be “the junior guy with a secret!” Here’s to health in 2025!!!
Sure! I have pretty large, superficial lymph nodes to begin with. The ones in my groin that have ultimately been metastatic started out the size (and I guess consistentcy?) of a small cooked pea. When they get inflamed, they get rigid and larger to varying degrees. The distinction that was pointed out to me about firmness by a doctor (though it's a generalization, not a rule) is that if it feels firm but has some give like the tip of your nose, it's probably OK. If it's rigid like the bridge of your nose... no bueno. That being said, both of my metastatic nodes were only slightly affected, so they were mobile and not very painful. They were quite rigid though, so that's how I "knew" this second time.

@@Linn_Laugh_LoveThank you so much, Mike. I ll check them out later. Your videos are of great support. Wishing you a beautiful 2025!
You have earned the right to be dramatic. You have to be so strong mentally to have such a good attitude.
I'll remember that the next time I cause a scene somewhere - "I've been told I earned the right to be dramatic!" 😂😬

There is a test called ChemoScale which can tell you which chemo drugs will work for you specifically. Also known as a chemotherapy assay.
I double dare you to try the “goodbye autoimmune” disease protocol by Dr. Brooke Goldner
Sounds interesting - has it worked for you? Or can you explain the mechanisms that the protocol use that lead you to believe it's a good idea?
I pray that you turn to God and cast all your worries onto him, have faith in him and his will.
