Prayers up for you and Mr. Sheppard. As many have seen here, I lost Mom to inflammatory breast cancer on November 18th.
CANCER WARRIORS PING
This is a ping list for cancer survivors and caregivers to share information. If you would like your name added to or removed from this ping list, please tell us in the comments section at this link (click here).

God has his plans...
The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
And I ask Jehovah God to Bless you and all cancer warriors.
My brother, sister, mother,2 aunts, two uncles, two cousins have fought cancer and God has blessed us...
One uncle exposed to radiation during post WWII atomic bomb tests...Another Uncle, Aunt and cousin exposed to fallout in Arizona in one of the last U.S. bomb tests...
“The areas in Arizona recognized by the government as affected by fallout are Yavapai, Coconino, Apache, Gila, and Navajo counties. One out of every seven tests dumped radioactive fallout on northern Arizona.
In spite of decades of denials by government officials who routinely assured the public that radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons testing was harmless, in 1990 Congress passed the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA). RECA provides $50,000 per person compensation payments to “Downwinders” who later suffered from a specific radiation related cancers and other diseases.”
In my opinion, he has always been the most important and most insightful writer on MSM bias in the country.
This will be a terrible loss to the Conservative Movement if he does not recover.
He sounds a bit naïve about his medical condition, unfortunately.
It will be a miracle if this is not lung cancer.
And when overt lung cancer symptoms reach the level he has described, your life is in very grave danger.
He is also a bit naïve about the causes of atrial fibrillation and lung cancer.
I'm a life long runner, I have A-Fib, and it's been slowly but surely getting worse for 10 years.
Also, at least 20% of lung cancers are not caused by tobacco.
Fact is, most healthy middle aged people have never done anything to themselves that causes a severe disease.
If you are over 40, you are heading downhill biologically.
Father Time randomly picks off some of us a little earlier than others, that's all.
I can't help but reflect how death has picked off some of our most important Conservative writers in the last ten years.
Tony Snow, Andrew Breitbart, William F. Buckley, and, on foreign policy and immigration issues, the part time Conservative Christopher Hitchens.
As Conservatives, we are living in perilous political times.
Noel Sheppard would be one more irreplaceable loss.
Me too….
I have more tests to get during the next couple of weeks to determine how aggressive it is, where all it may have gone and what choices I might have.
I quit posting on FR over a month ago and now I occasionally lurk, but when I saw the word “cancer”, I couldn’t resist posting. ;>)
My mom died of cancer when she was 56. My dad died of Pancreatic cancer at 67. I kinda knew it was just a matter of time for me. I am 65 and I can now quit worrying about when it’s going to show up.
Strangely, I am just as happy today as I was 8 days ago when the blood tests started telling the story. Admittedly, I am a bit nervous about the pain that I know is coming.
I don’t want to leave, but I am ready to go….perhaps I am in shock, perhaps I feel this way because I believe that God is with me.
I’ll be logging out and returning to lurking mode.
Good luck and God Bless...
I heard so many stories like that through the years. Probably why I still smoke. Started when I was 10. Now 65. Easier to blame it on myself that way.
I’ve never even heard of this guy.
.
You be careful now. They aren't always as right as you may think. Money is a big motive for diagnosing someone with cancer. May God be with you as he promised.
Please do not give up..think positive and know God is there.
When I was told about the results of the biopsy I said remove the filthy mess..so my they did..I never once decided this would get me down and it didn’t..Ten years after the cancer..i had open heart surgery.I had four Aneurysm on my heart..Two on the inside of my heart and two on the outside..the cardiologist told me I had these for many years..you see I have been through it but have never lost my faith..I know God is still not finished with me so I will go on until he is..
As for my family my sister age 17 died with a brain tumor,brother colon cancer,mother stomach cancer,dad had a lung removed with cancer..and died twenty years later with a heart attack..I will in next month and get this taken care of..none of them smoked..
TAKE CARE AND IF YOU NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO JUST REMEMBER I AND THE OTHER FREEPERS ARE HERE..FREE MAIL ME AND I CAN GIVE YOU MY EMAIL ADDRESS..THAT IS IF YOU LIKE..
I thank everyone for the prayers and love you all..
The devil has tried three times now to shut me up and did not succeed and he will not this time..
Prayers for you and Noel!
These days, there are many new treatments. Many of us here have danced with the Big-C. It’s a tough battle, but God IS with you. Good luck and God bless to you, too! But, remember, there are many supportive people right here on FR, so don’t go away too far for too long...
Prayers for you, too, PLD. Stay strong!
Praying for you...
The big C has hit our family full force. Three sister’s conquered breast cancer, two with double mastecomy’s. A niece has not and is going through the chemo struggles for a second time, a nephew is having brain surgery on Thursday to remove a lesion .
Not fun... But GOD takes us through ....
No way I would be living in California now -
since this - the meltdown had penetrated the cement barrier and reached the groud water - releasing radioactic steam into the atmosphere - that is carried in the jet stream directly to the entire wesern coast - and over the country
SOMEONE has to get this in the MSM - past the powers that are keeping the lid on it, for monetary/power reasons. Do yout research - this is just one video.
The whole damn world should be on this - not leaving it up tho the totally inefficient/duplicit company in Japan.

Dang
Prayers for your health.
May God cradle you in His healing hands.
Noel Sheppard has been a writer and editor at “NewsBusters” for many years.
In my opinion, he is the best writer in the country on the subject of left wing MSM bias.
You are in my prayers. I was diagnosed in June of 2013 with stage 3 colon cancer. After six months of chemo - scans and blood-work show no signs of the disease. I go back in April for more tests. Chemo is not even close to fun. Early on, I was given two pieces of advice from a veteran. He told me to stay as active as possible - even on those days when I didn’t feel like doing anything and to drink lots of fluids. I tried to do both and I think it helped. Then again, you’ll get all kinds of advice... That said, you are in my prayers.
Prayers up for Mr Sheppard. He’s one of the good guys.
