Cancer: It's a Hell of a Thing

So last Friday I went to the doctor because of some pain and discomfort, which led to ultrasounds. Masses were discovered, appointments made, and on Wednesday I had major surgery to remove a cancerous left testicle from my body. I'll receive the pathology report on Wednesday to determine what type of treatment I will be facing moving forward. Right now I am trying to focus on recovery from my surgery and get back to work. I debated on whether I'd announce this type of thing to the family but we all go through through crucibles in our lives and it's best not to bear that burden alone. Whether you believe in prayer or science or vibes, I could use anything positive at this point. It is a very scary thing to face at 32, even if the survival rates for this type of cancer are very high. Thank you all.

Sorry to hear this, but I'm glad the doctors are on it. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

 

As you mentioned, the recovery for this type of cancer is very good. My wife's best friend's son had the same thing when he was in high school. He's fully recovered and living an active life now 10+ years later. So hang in there!

Many prayers coming your way Nash.

My wife and mother-in-law are both cancer survivors, we know how much having a support system helps during treatment.

 

Like Briseadh, we'll put you on the prayer list. Stay strong, stay positive, and get well.

Thank you for sharing.  It may not seem like a lot, or difficult to share because its personal, but it actually does help many folks.  A lot of us do not.  Survivor stories are important to share.  Good thing you went and got checked ASAP.  I need to do that, too.

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.  :)

Yeesh, cancer is never a good diagnosis. I'll pray for healing for you!

When my sister was diagnosed with stage IV cancer 3 years back (currently no disease--thank God!), she and her family started using CaringBridge.org to send out information. What we found was that the family members who got information first would immediately post on social media, and for those of us who received the information via social media instead of my sister and husband, it was very, very hard to hear. The Caring Bridge site made it a lot easier for them to give out information all at one time (my brother-in-law pastors a large church, so you can imagine the number of people who want to talk to them), and allowed them to get more rest since they didn't have to repeat information endlessly. Plus, people from  all over the world could read and send messages any time. It's free, and I highly recommend it to you.

I send you a big hug!

I have cancer as well.  Keeping a positive mindset is the most important thing I can do.  I'm not a doctor, so I have no control over the physical part of it all.  I can only control my own feelings, thoughts, fears.  Listen to them when they tell you what you have is HIGHLY SURVIVABLE.  Listen and follow the new rules you get to live by now.  You can get through this.  I know you can, because I am getting through mine. 

Yes, it's tough, it's scary, and sometimes it really sucks.  But, do whatever it takes to keep positive.

Thank you all for the lovely and encouraging thoughts and prayers and energy. I have been told that what I had was Stage 1A (which is very early) and from what the tests indicate, self contained. Since my surgery the doctors want me on an observation schedule (blood tests every 3 months, CAT scans every 6), to monitor the situation and see if the cancer comes back. They tell me it's 70-80% likely that my surgery cured me, so observation is the best course of action right now instead of radiation/chemo, which would be over-treatment if I'm in that 70-80% range and would frankly be poisoning myself for no reason. Even if I wait and it comes back later, there is still a 95% ish cure rate with the radiation/chemo at that point. So I am very glad and grateful for this news. This place truly is one of a kind. I will keep you guys updated in case there is some news later down the line, but here's hoping that this has been the end of it! These two and a half weeks since I found out that I had cancer and my surgery have been very profound. It definitely puts everything into perspective. I am still a bit sore from the surgery as the incision site is still tender and numb in a few places, but my recovery is going very well and I'm glad there haven't been any complications.

I tried to stay positive and humorous and light as much as possible during this time, and I think it has helped immensely with coping. I have received an enormous amount of support from friends and family members, including my Gaiscioch family, and I can't thank you enough. I truly love you guys and gals, many of which I haven't had the pleasure of meeting or gaming with yet. It speaks volumes about not only the strength of your character, but the strength and quality of this Gaiscioch family.

Sorry for your loss, Liljoe. :( That's so hard.

Congrats, Nash, on catching it this early! My sister's didn't get caught until hers was 4A. However, she's beaten it so far. The medications and treatments have come so far in the last 20 years, it's amazing. It's a rough road, but at least people come out alive and even thriving at the end of the battle these days.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Liljoe. Please accept my deepest condolences. Your father will be in my thoughts and prayers. This is a very deadly disease, and many loved ones in the Gaiscioch family have been taken. They will always be loved and remembered by those who knew them, as well as those of us here in the extended family of Gaiscioch who did not know them but loved them anyway. That's what's so great about this family. We all come together and help each other with positive thoughts, deeds, and energy whenever possible. If you ever want to talk, or any of you here want to talk about a loss or about concerns or fears you may have, please talk to someone. If not me (though I'm always here and willing to talk and listen), then someone, but please don't hold it in. The worst thing is keeping it to yourself. It will eat at you slowly, and the fear and doubt and sadness and whatever other negative emotions it can conjure up will create havoc and discord in your life and eventually make you miserable. Family and friends are a support network, and we can help, even if it's just to listen and talk about these things.

On Friday I attended an event to help the family of a man I had never met before, the husband of a friend I've had in high school who I hadn't seen in over 7 years. They just recently discovered he had Stage IV colon cancer, and the event was to raise money for their medical bills which have been mounting as he has had two surgeries already with two more to go, and nine more chemo treatments and who knows what else. Even though we hadn't seen each other in a long time, my friend was glad to see me and we talked for hours. I met her husband and we shared stories and talked about our situations. Talking really helped all three of us; from three separate perspectives we could see that even through hardship there can be hope and that we are not alone in this trial. For our loved ones who are not sick but have to watch us go through the treatments and surgeries, it is just as hard and emotionally taxing. They are courageous and wonderful for being there for us, and they are the unsung heroes in our fight against this deadly disease.

The point is, I've seen posts here where people have shared losses or fears or their own challenge that they might not have openly accepted yet. I want you to know that you are not alone, and that I am here for you, just like you all have been here for me. It's not just me, it's evident from all of these posts that there are a staggering number of people who are right here with me who want to help you too. Don't be afraid to let your voice be heard.

Results from my first blood test since the operation came in this week. My tumor markers look normal, so no sign of cancer for now!! Next test is in December where I will have another blood test and also have an abdominal CAT scan. 

 

However, I have some sad news. My friend Ian, who was also battling his own cancer (stage IV colon) and winning, suddenly took a turn for the worse. Cancer cells sneaked their way into his spinal fluid and were causing tumors in his inner ears, throwing off his balance and affecting his hearing. He was diagnosed with Neoplastic Meningitis, and now he has been left deaf and unfortunately the cancer is spreading too fast for the treatments to keep up. They have stopped all treatments, and now it's just a matter of time. Three weeks ago he and I were training together to get back into fighting shape after my surgery and during his chemo. When the meningitis was diagnosed, they stopped chemo and started high burst radiation, and soon he became too weak and had to be admitted to the hospital. Now they are setting up home hospice so he can spend the rest of his time with his wife of two years and his beloved dog. Please pray for him, his family, especially his wife who has been a good friend of mine that I have known since high school. I fear that when it is finally over she will shatter and might not ever recover. 

 

I post the links below not for anything other than if you wish to learn more about Ian and Ashley and share your thoughts, prayers, or kind words. They are wonderful people and it breaks my heart that this has happened. As a Gaiscioch family member I ask you to take look and offer a few kind words as if they were one of our own.

Sad news. Early Wednesday morning, Ian's soul embarked from this world. The CM progressed much faster than any doctor had anticipated or any treatment could keep up with. He was able to make it home before the end and his wife Ashley was there with him. He was at peace. It's a terribly sad time. Thank you for your support.

If there is one thing I've learned it is that positive thinking and prayer are very powerful tools. At a time like this it can be hard to not dwell on one's mortality (I've been there and completely understand) but don't let it consume you. Think good thoughts and pray and I will be doing the same for you as well.

 

Best wishes to you for a full recovery,

 

Summer

I am truly sorry to hear of your bout with Cancer.  I think anytime the C word is used it's a scary thing. Even if one can recover from it with hardly a blink it  is still the C word.

All of you that are going through it have our every prayer we can pray. 

If there is anything anyone can do on our end please don't hesitate to ask.  If we can do it....well we can.. :) and if not then we might find out who could. 

Please remember that though we are a gaming community we are also family and you are not alone!  EVER! 

love you too and hugs to boot!

Well, it looks like my cancer spread before the surgery got it. It's in my lymph nodes now, so I am officially Stage 2A. I will begin radiation treatments 1/26/15, five days a week for three weeks, until 2/13/15. My cure chances go up to high 90's percent-wise, so with any luck this will be the end of it. I will still be going to work as I go through treatments, so this will be a busy few weeks ahead. Thanks for your continued support.

Will be praying for you and that the radiation treatments don't kick your butt.  Some people get pretty drained from them and I know you will be trying to work too.  So definitely praying you through this part.  I know a lot of walking and living cancer survivors that are doing well, including my dad.  Know a few miracles walking around too.  =)

Don't mess with Mama Bear, I might hug you too tight. =D

Nash, thank you for sharing your battle with the family, no one should fight this alone. Positive thoughts and vibes from my family to you and yours as you continue on this journey.

It looks like you're already doing the best thing possible and that's keeping your head high and staying positive. I know doing that itself takes strength. You WILL win this fight!

Do you have any support site setup for assistance in the upcoming medical bills (YouCaring/GoFundMe)?

Hang in there, Nash! My sister is in her 4th year after finishing treatments for state 4a thymoma and still has no recurrence of cancer. She's a walking miracle, too. She got very tired during her radiation treatments, as have other folks I know who've been through this particular treatment. Get lots of rest, and if you need some days off of work, take them. You'll need some time to heal! I'll be praying for you. Hugs!

Hug and Prayers, Nash.  I know it's hard to share some things but we all want to be able to add our prayers.

Two months ago my hub was diagnosed with stage 3/4 liver cancer, so I know about scary.  You're very young (cuz I'm not)  so I believe your body will heal and your life will be awesome. There are too many prayers here to go unanswered.    Oh - and another hug  :-)

Hey Nash - from a fellow cancer patient (3 years cancer free) I would suggest you keep up your protein, especially while you are getting rads and working.  I did the same thing and I crashed toward the end.  It makes you real real tired.  Take one day at a time and you will make it through.  If you ever need someone to talk to just pm me and I will be there for you..

I have not posted in a long time,, but I have been praying for you since the beginning! You hang in there, =) you will beat this, Like GmaFog says,  increase your protein, increase the amount of alkaline foods, cancer can not survive in an alkaline environment! I am struggling as well! I have been to an amazing Naturopath, and she is working miracles. I also have an autoimmune disease, which has been a PITA! lol. Drinking 9.5 alkaline water,  and distilled water, increasing veggies, decreasing animal protein, pretty gluten free. Its working, but going to take awhile!

Sometimes, I think, why am I killing myself changing my diet, etc, I just want to lay down and go to sleep, but then I just tell myself, get your butt up and do it!! you got grandkids and friends and pets to take care of. I try to keep busy even when I feel like crapola. I volunteer at a dog kennel, which I totally love, I take my therapy dog to nursing home and assisted living centers to make others smile, which makes me smile! I do my best to exercise, Jazun my hubby, made it easy, when we built our home he built a gym, so we don't have to leave the house to do some exercising, sometimes I just dance, LOL. I do some yoga, and P90x, I might last 10 min, or an hour, depends, but I do try!

One of my friends here, her husband had, and I say HAD stage 4 prostate cancer, she never gave up on him and pushed him to not give up, he has been through hell and back, but has been cancer free for over a year now! we are so excited about their future, they are expecting their 1st grandchild in the Spring!!! So blessed!

Like a friend of mine said once, "put on your big girl panties and kick ass" LOL  You can beat this, and I hope sometime we can play together someplace with this awesome family!!!!

Congrats to ALL those who are or have fought a disease, you are all HEROS in my book!!!

I surely miss my Gaiscioch family!!!

I wouldn't ask anything of my family as far as the gofundme goes except to please just spread the word by sharing and helping us get some visibility and exposure. If you do decide to give of yourself, whether it be financial, or kind words, thoughts, prayers, vibes, or just sharing the page with your friends on social media, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

SO here is an update on my condition:

 

The radiation I underwent was successful in destroying the cancer in my treated lymph nodes.

 

...However, a CT Scan done a few months after my treatment showed 3 new lymph nodes in the mesenteric area (bowels) that were not there during my treatment. They are in an area that was not treated by the radiation.

 

A PET scan revealed these nodes to be active, but the lymph nodes are in an area where Testicular cancer does not go.

 

I will now have to undergo a laprascopic biopsy to figure out what these are.

Update: I had my surgery on Monday 7/29. They actually were only supposed to perform the biopsy, but they ended up removing two of the lymph nodes. They said they couldn't find the third and it was too dangerous to poke around and continue looking for it. I wasn't discharged until late Wednesday. I am a bit sore but I am in pretty good shape. 

 

I'll know the pathology results in two weeks. I'll let you know.

Hey all. Biopsy results came back NEGATIVE!!! Everything was benign. I meet with my Oncologist later this month but I think this means no chemo!!

 

Now I think I will be going back into surveillance mode for now. So blood tests every 3 months, and CT scans every 6 for the next 5 years to make sure everything looks clear. 

 

Thank you all so much for your support. It really means a lot!!

 

Love you guys and gals <3 my fam
