Is she pretty? If so all will be forgiven.
This is a ping list for cancer survivors and caregivers to share information.

Just like a false claim of rape damages the cases of true claims, false claims of cancer cast aspersions on true claims. This just makes me sick. If I had not had the prayer support of my internet prayer warriors, what would I have done?????? I didn’t need financial support, although I know some do. I was so blessed to have good coverage, this time even better than the first cancer and chemo. What about those that are desperate and not covered by good insurance(s)????? Damn this evil woman. I feel so strongly against this evil mess she’s created.
I hear ya’, Shimmer1. Unfortunately, this type of thing seems to be very common.
I’ve known people like this. One person I knew was over the top about it. (Munchausen’s, maybe?) Once I caught on, I started to distance myself from this person... And then I was the one who got sick. For real. And I never heard from that person again. lol
Later I found out that all the “medicines” that person was claiming to have to take were actually over-the-counter vitamins.
I’ve heard other survivors complain about coworkers they know are lying. One woman said her coworker told their boss that her doctor called for her to go in for “emergency chemo,” so she had to leave early that day. The woman said she could tell her coworker was lying, but what could she say?
Another Seinfeld episode come true
Her lying about it, just so she can sell her ideas is very maddening.
I'm so angry about it that I'm probably irrational about it.

You’re right to be angry about it, Johnny.
Oh.My.word. emergency chemo. (banging head on desk) I tend to underreport, because things have just been so darn horrible, who wants to hear all that, all the time?????
Getting better now though, finally. It’s only taken 7 months!!!!! (four and a half months of chemo)
I know you’ve been through a nightmare. I hope things are looking up now. If I remember correctly, you’re expecting a special visit soon. That should make you feel even better. :-)
While waiting for the Doc this last week, one of the guys I know from the waiting room came back out and he was clear of the lung cancer.
Of course, they had caught his early and it hadn't spread.
If I look healthy enough and gain enough weight, I'll get to finally get to chemo Friday for my lungs. The radiation was just for my brain cancer, since my lung cancer sat there untreated for a few years.
I was so glad to hear that my waiting room bud had been declared cleared, and there were a lot of "Thank You, Jesus" from around the room.
None of those guys were faking it like this bint.

Saw your post Johnny, extra prayers for you today that you are able to start your chemo.
I am sure it is good roughage for the colon:)
Folks have to be careful with these modern day ‘shamans’ offering easy ways to beat the #1 killer, cancer.
Good nutrition, good foods and an active healthy living can help people prevent some of the most vexing health problems like heart disease, cancer and others. The operative word is ‘help prevent’ not cure. Then again a lot of healthy people get cancer for no known reason at all other than it is ‘scripted’ in their DNA. If someone in the family ‘gene pool’ had cancer, chances are one is at higher risk for the same.
These modern day 'shamans' are the modern day snake oil salesmen. Hang in there...I will lift you up in prayer for your speedy return to strength. You are right there is no 'magic bullet.'
I want to hear about it...all the time. Sound off! How else can I or we focus our prayers for you. Hang in there, and let us know all that you want to share.
And people have to be careful with that to not come off as annoying as heck.
There is no one answer for everyone for good nutrition, good food, and exersize.
You can bet that if I'm getting 4000 calories a day there is what some so-called 'junk food' in my diet. If it keeps me alive and gaining weight, those that don't like my diet can pound sand.
Fortunately, I've graduated from 2 culinary schools and have mainly been able to cook for myself. I know, for me, what I need, and I resent those that are SURE they have the answer that will save my life.
Especially those that aren't and haven't been sick.
Let them experiment with their own lives, and stay out of mine.
Not jumping on you, just venting about what I see a lot of.

Another guy told me to take my son off chemo and use all natural sources. I asked him nicely for the medical studies on people who did this for their children....silence. What nut of a parent is going to experiment on their kids if carrot juice kills cancer cells? None that I know of.
Yes, the 'experts' all come out when someone ELSE is sick.
And cancer isn't cancer. There are many different types that people don't take into account.
And differing situations. Someone with teeth can eat stuff I can't. That was operative before treatment started. When people lose weight, suddenly, not only do their pants not fit anymore... their teeth don't fit right anymore. People with teeth tend to have NO clue about that.
Anyway.. I'm just ranting and POed with unthinking people that really do have the best in mind.
It's very difficult for me to be nice, even though people really do care and are sincere.
I miss out on seeing the concern and go directly for the clueless BS they are sincerely putting out.
Grump.. LOL!

Oops, I didn’t realize I’d posted this and clicked “post” again. Well, good, so I can post it to my friend ToT.
