Wow, wild few days. A person we all know, his mom has cancer bad. He hasn't posted so I won't say.

A co-worker just had part of her lung removed from cancer.

Now my brother-in-law, Brent Hinshaw has it real bad.

Had lumps in his neck five months ago, didn't go to the doctor because they were moving back to Iowa from CO and he wanted the insurance. Doctor said he had cancer of the tonsil, went to remove it a few days ago and stopped without removing anything. It was so bad they wouldn't do surgery.

Stage IV bad all through the jaw, neck, lymph nodes, etc.

Starts chemo and radiation Tuesday, his 42nd birthday.

It's my wife Beckys older brother. He is a real nice guy, has two teenage boys.

Any good karma you could send his way would be appreciated, it doesn't look very good.

Thanks,

M

I wish them well.

Were I in the same boat, I would stay away from chemo and opt for an alternative therapy- such as cesium therapy

I'm with Bille on this one.I'd try alternative therapies instead of chemo.I'd also ask your brother-in-laws doctor if they have any programs at Creighton University in Omaha that pertain to his cancer.I've talked to several people who have been through programs up there and they have a better success rate than other hospitals.

This should be a wakeup call to all of us in our 30s and 40s.It's time to get in and get a comprehensive checkup.If you nip these things in the bud,these situations have a much better outcome.

I'll send some good Karma their way and tell them to keep a positive attitude.

Good Karma to you and yours, brother!

I had a major physical last year. Probable lifelong prescriptions ensued for high triglycerides. Megadoses of Omegas helped some, but it needed more intervention. That's a stepping stone to diabetes...something I'd care not to have.

Marshall, you've done a million great things for people here. You should have a pretty solid deposit in the Kharma bank.
