Hi, I was diagnosed colon cancer some months ago when a lump grew in my neck. I am 57. So Getting ready, for the next journey.
I’m so happy for your family. I had ovarian cancer. I was lucky. It was as big as a football, but did not spread. They did a debulking, no cancer anywhere else. I had no chemo or radiation. That was back in June 2011.
god bless him my great aunt died from cancer she hadn't been to a doctor in a while until she found out she had cancer she had 2 to 3 weeks left to live she didn't make it though one week and she passed away 😭💔
😔
No more chemo or radiation. C D. S. Of Andreas kalker is the solution.
Hope you are doing well, Ian.
Does anyone know how this boy is doing? Please let us know.
Unfortunately Ian passed away in June 2021.
@@anne5202 sad, how old was he? probably barely into his teens?
@@anne5202rest in peace so sorru ops
Hey ian i love your smile. So heart-warming!
Look into Protocel remedy or Budwig protocol. They are both very potent cancer antidotes with amazingly high recovery rate. One or the other, they should not be mixed.
He died last summer
what stage of cancer was Dylan diagnosed with?
stage 4 since he got six round of chemotherapy and It could be group C if he had CNS positive, the prognosis is about 95% with the new protocol chemotherapy + RITUXIMAB, However It is very tough
R-DA-EPOCH Im doing this treatment right now Im in second session and Im feeling great already
My Daughter Michelle died from it 30 years ago in 1990 . She was 15. She died October the 5th and would have been 16 on October the 20th.
I am so sorry. I was 16 in 1990 too.

My dad has Burkitt Lymphoma, he just got diagnosed on Friday. I’m so sad, I need help understanding this more please. He starts chemo tomorrow. I’m so scared I will lose him. He’s my best friend. I hope your little boy is better. Many blessings.🙏🏼💚
So sorry to hear about your father's diagnosis. Dylan is now doing well and has beaten Burkitt's Lymphoma. We recommend speaking with your father's doctor as we are not experts on this diagnosis. Our thoughts are with you and your family!

Prayers. God have mercy on these children.
Hasn't "god" done enough to them already?
