This is LITERALLY, and ABSOLUTELY not a thread for best wishes and hang in there's. But most of you know I have this little bug that is being pretty stubborn. Radiation isn't working the way we had hoped, so I will be spending a few days in China soon to try a couple of things. Just giving those of you who are aware of what's going on a heads up...no pun intended.
 
Obama care is paying to send you to China?!?
 
Just don't tell them that Chairman Mao is anything but great.
 
Dang it, MM. I hate to hear it...hang in there and sending good thoughts your way.

Once you get to China if you claim that you have NSA secrets the USA will bring you home for free.
 
I'm sorry that you're down to alternative medicines, MM. I hope that you live through this for many more years.
 
Not to be nosy, but why China, out of all the places in the world? What do they have that we don't?
 
Brain tumor, damn, MM, the lengths a guy will go through to prove that he is a fiscal conservative, and not a Democouch...

It stinks that you have to go half way around the world to recieve a desired treatment..big medicine is so intertwined with the gov...USDA often takes ten or twelve years to approve drugs..

But if your "treatment" is just to join the "Hey Jo, Love you long time" club and a factory dirrect pair of Nikes...
 
MM, I know there are several trials that are going on that are showing good results so far. Make sure you ask you Doc to research possible experimental treatments you could volunteer for. Right now, there are a couple small-molecule caspase-3 apoptosis promoters which target only cancerous cells. The small-molecule is important because it can cross the blood-brain barrier which most cancer treatments can't, allowing it to target brain tumors specifically. I am just writing this from memory regarding a talk I went to a month ago, so I may be off a bit, but I think it's something to look into.

here, I just found this article which touches on what I am referring to.

This is not my expertise at all, but I do think if you haven't already, tell your doctor to do extensive research about what experimental studies there are. Don't let the Doctor be lazy, it's on you to direct the doctor to do your bidding. Be more loud and abrasive with the Doc than you have with anyone on this site ever. haha.

Thanks. I have great doctors, and they have exhausted a lot of their own person resources. This was his idea after many other ideas

Good, having competent and aggressive doctors is damn important and sometimes hard to find. I'd be interested to read a link regarding the alternative treatment.

Have they been able to arrest the growth of the tumors at all?

Rock on MM!
 
just curious, do you have to pay for all of this cash, out of pocket, including flights, etc? is there a middle man involved?
 
Good luck to you brother. Wish you the best. Wonder if your enemies on here are going to be nice to you now........ Shit is there S2 in China? If so, will all your post be in that funny writing like you see on the menu?

Nate是驴子小丑

Loosely translated, Nate is an ass clown
 
I hope you find what you're looking for over there.

Next post, good news.
 
I should have stated this really isn't an atta boy seeking thread. Just updating. Thanks for all the well wishes though. Denny, feel free to lock this.
