      We have to remember, that now we can identify these cancers. Back in the day people died of "failure to thrive", being a "weakling", and many other none descript versions of not feeling well. Sometimes being too fit can trigger cancer. Extreme athleticism can trigger cancer as in some olympic athletes.

Before the diagnosis, I was a powerlifter training for a competition, thinking I was at the apex of my health. I still can't believe I'm in my current situation. The road to recovery has been very, very hard. Good luck to you.

      ​@@joefornasieroAll that muscle building and healthy diet making you think YOU can keep disease at bay. In my language if you break the word cancer in "ca n cer " it means "like in heaven ". We have saints who stated that cancer filled the heaven with people who had turned to God. Yes, we see others who "manage" to live long lives, maybe successful ones, but even if they do so for 100 years - which is nothing compared to ETERNITY, unless they are saved by Jesus Christ they will find themselves in that horrible place like the rich man in the New Testament

    Thank you for sharing everything that you have here. I was healthy and fit when suddenly diagnosed with bone marrow cancer, myeloma, 6 years ago--treatable, with luck, but not curable. I have done unusually well on treatment so far, thanks to great family and medical support but also, I'm convinced, because I went into it good and have fine-tuned diet and exercise since, along with mental and emotional work. Best wishes in the coming months, you definitely have some reason to hope that you will be the best possible case.

    I get so sad when I see young people like you going through this. I am sure your fitness regime helped you. I hope that your next round of chemo goes well. It’s wonderful you have a good support system. Thank you for sharing and for your encouraging words to others.

    That was so smart to get to MD Andersen and Sloan Kettering. For most cancers, your best chance of a cure is early detection and immediate treatment at a specialty setting. Do not let a biopsy or diagnostic tests, or treatment before or after surgery be delayed. It happened to someone I love and they lost their life. God bless and thank you for sharing your story so that others may learn from it ... I'll pray for a complete remission.

    What a lovely young man. I am rooting for him!! Even in the face of adversity, he's so ready to fight this with all he has. I am wishing him many many years of happiness with his wife and family that so clearly are his world and I'm so glad he has had a great support system.
    I know that a strong support system and a good frame of mind can help so much. I cannot imagine how difficult this has been for him, I'm so sorry to see so many cases of young people facing a life changing diagnosis.
    I hope he's doing well now and keeping that wonderful positive attitude.

    Your journey and your openness is inspiring to others. As a cancer survivor your message of positivity and purpose is one that I can relate to. I always saw the glass as half full. There were dark days when my endless rounds of chemo and radiation followed by 4 surgeries would get the best of me. I have a great small support group along with my 2 four legged kids that made all the difference. I wish you all the best and I hope you’re successful in your treatments. Your team seems to be top notch and your care gold standard. I have relatives in Germany who are doctors and they have been following my progress along with my medical team here in the US. I’m on my 5th year of my cancer journey and cherish everyday. Stay strong.
