  • David started getting the flu and colds every few months and then started getting sharp stomach pain. But he and his wife had just survived a 9.0 magnitude earthquake, so he dismissed his symptoms. It wasn't until months later when he saw he doctor, he was diagnosed with stage 4 follicular lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
    In this cancer vlog, David goes through his extensive treatment plan and how exercising and dieting has helped him get through the last 12 years of his diagnosis.

    I was just diagnosed 11-23 with Follicular Lymphoma, stage 3. I’ve just finished round 5 of 6, and hope for remission. I’m 75, so our circumstances are different. You’ve been through so much, and I commend you for being a true warrior. May you live to be 100 young man, and may the rest of your journey be stress free, full of joy and love. Thank you for the video.❤

    If it is worth anything reasonably fit and otherwise healthy 68M here have had a much easier time (so far) with stage 3A Follicular Lymphoma, although my abdominal tumour was large (20cm). Had a different chemo regime, Bendamustine and Rituximab and it was very tolerable. Kept hiking throughout, which was only difficult right at the start. Side effects were fairly minimal - vomited the first night, had some tiredness and medicine (Ondansetron) caused constipation. But otherwise just carried on working and living.

    If you have the ability, please share your blood results that were concerning to the doctors. What foods and lifestyle were important. How you felt with things emotionally and your physical exercise. Your story is so positive, and I believe you could help those understand the fight to stay alive.

    My daughter and her family lives in Japan also. Going on 8 years, they love it.
    My husband was also on retuximab for his Multiple Myeloma. It should have put my husband into remission. That never happened. After 3 years of treatment, we welcomed hospice into our home and he passed about 10 days later on 6/28/22.

    Putting Benzodent in one of those night guards (the kind you can boil and form to your mouth) and keeping it in is amazing for mouth pain from large mouth ulcers or osteonecrosis of the jawbone. Keeps the medicine on the sore for hours and controls the pain so well. I don't know how I'd have slept without that sometimes.

    Hearing C...word is so damned cruel. You are extremely brave. It sucks being sick. Nobody undersrands till it happens to them in the United states one out of two people will be effected by cancer. We serously need laws to protect against cooperate greed. Most everything around us and that goes in is contaminated. The treatments I feel like science is held back do to the mmoney the illness brings in. In the ninties a scientist friend worked on ways to fix teeth they.found out how to grow new teeth wxtremely cheap. The dentist association fought them and shut the treatment down.

    Very interesting story and quite similar. Thanks for sharing. Just starting this ordeal myself. Did your kidneys eventually recover? I was in Japan for ten years and had actually considered returning. It's funny how a diagnosis like this completely takes your mind away from future plans. One day at a time.
