I recommend death therapy.

[Retired Chemist]

Did his doctors have an end of life discussion with him?

[miss marmelstein]

There was a facebook posting about that - the irony. Yes, maybe he should...um, boycott it?

[Impala64ssa]

Isn’t Jimmy lucky that he doesn’t have to go through Obamanoncare?
One of the 0'care's architects, Zeke Emanuel said that there's no reason for any of us to live past 75. If true, then Carter is a 1 1/2 DECADES past his expiration date. For that matter McCain, Rangle and others are overdue. And Sanders and Her Thighness should retire and start putting their affairs in order.

Where are you being treated?

I have metastatic prostate cancer and am being treated at MD Anderson in Houston. Forunately Lupton is keeping things in check with my PSA having gone from 14.7 a year ago to 0.4 for the last 6 months.

Was at a seminar last month at MD Anderson and they believe a cure for metastatic prostate cancer will be based on immunotherapy or viral therapy. Actually talking about an eventual cure.

I wonder why Obama and Obamacare didn’t send Jimmy home with just a bunch of pain pills???? That is what the rest of us would have gotten, if that. With all of this that is going on with the horrific Planned Parenthood and the aborted babies, I can’t help but wonder how far away our government is to just killing off old sick people.

MD Anderson has an excellent reputation.

Jeff Head went there.

Is Jimmy on TriCare?

[SeaHawkFan]

There has very recently been a modified cold irus that triggers the body’s natural immune system that has actually attacked and completely destroyed one for of rare brain cancer.

[SeaHawkFan]

MD Anderson is the best cancer center in the world. If not for MD Anderson, Jeff Head would have been dead years ago.

[Secret Agent Man]

Radiation doesnt work against most cancers.

[Secret Agent Man]

Remember asshat barrys line to the gal with the older mom?

Maybe we just give her the pain pill.

[cicero2k]

I’m the Cicero2K here as well:

Lots of MD Anderson guys there as well.

I’m 12 years in, went metastatic last year, but in a nearby lymph node. The newer imaging technology allows for pin point radiation of much higher intensity. It’s all there. I’m being treated in LA, and going to the PCRI conference in September.

[miss marmelstein]

Jimmy makes me sick. He’ll get the best treatment money can buy while the poor and middle class get the shaft.

[struggle]

I did a lot of translation of documents concerning Anti pd-1 antibodies and it really is the treatment of the future.

[Tired of Taxes]

I hope so, Struggle. Looking forward to it.

[PAR35]

” another lesser-known treatment”

Because the ruling class should have access to treatments that the proles shouldn’t.

[ought-six]

I am a cancer patient. I had surgery plus chemo plus immunotherapy. My cancer has been in remission for seven years.

bottom line......toast

[Tired of Taxes]

Great news, Ought-six. :-)
