In 2007, I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's B cell Lymphoma and in 2008 started treated although the memory blurs when going back those 12/13 years. Treatment started about 6 months after I was diagnosed and there is probably another 4-6 months of testing that needs to be taken into consideration as well.
In 2009/2010, I experienced a non-cancer related heart attack and over a period of 10-12 months, I had 3 heart surgeries where a total of 5 stints were inserted. From that point-in-time until July 2020, I had no problems with my heart, but my Staph Infection caused it to experience afib and actually experienced heart failure while in the ER.
In 2012, Melanoma was discovered on my left foot and removed and in 2017 metastasized to the left side of my groin and in 2018 metastasized to the left side of my neck but when it was surgically removed, the Melanoma was dead so my treatment was working.
In 2020, my Oncologist discovered that my cancer treatments has screwed up my THYROID and once he put me on meds, not only did it start to immediately regulate my Thyroid but it made my entire body feel better. What is interesting here is that I thought my cancer treatment were responsible for my fatigue and lousy feelings, but it was my THYROID.
A STAPH infection that got into my blood stream played hell with my body and put me in the hospital for 6 days with antibiotic infusions 3 times a day until 11Aug20.
HOWEVER, my body, the body that was given to me by GOD, has fought back and has successfully resisted all of these attacks... and, when I was in the ER, my body began to immediately respond to the fluids they were pumping into me from 3 IV's.
In short, I am a tough old bastard.
