Lads, lads!

("lads" being "people born with & still having a prostate" regardless of current identification)

I'm about to have my 5th round of chemotherapy for advanced metstatic prostate cancer. A close friend has had surgery to remove theirs today, and another friend in the USA had theirs removed on Thursday.

If you are 50+, then FOR THE LOVE OF WHATEVER DEITY YOU DO OR DON'T HAVE please get a PSA test.

Save yourself being in our position.

"I had to scrub out mid-surgery to call United, only to find that the person on the line didn't even have access to the patient's full medical information, despite the procedure already being pre-approved. It's beyond frustrating and, frankly, unacceptable. Patients and providers deserve better than this. We should be focused on care, not bureaucracy."

About fucking time! If you think #smoking is a health menace worse than alcohol, let me put it this way... Not JUST from a biological perspective;I'm Alcohol KILLS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS ON THE HIGHWAYS EVERY YEAR, ALONE. Usually it's not not the drunk that gets killed either. This is also not counting destroyed families and other sociological, medical causes.

Surgeon general calls for cancer warning on #alcohol

Sadly, we must ask who appointed this guy to know whether his acts are credible, as that's what GOP has wrought upon us here on out. And we won't learn that from this AP journalist.

"Surgeon General calls for new label on drinks to warn Americans of alcohol’s cancer risk"

https://apnews.com/article/alcohol-surgeon-general-warning-label-e12d879108d3d6298052df0369f2e4a7

Alcohol is a leading cause of cancer, a risk that should be clearly labeled on drinks Americans consume, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy proposed on Friday.

“I Thought He Was Helping Me”: Patient Endured 9 Years of Chemotherapy for #Cancer He Never Had


Anthony Olson was told that he’d die without the treatment and to ignore a negative biopsy. He’s one of many patients who, court records show, received harmful or unnecessary treatments from Montana oncologist Dr. Thomas C. Weiner.

New research examines the potential impact of Covid infection on pathways relevant to #cancer . We discussed some of these pathways in a 2023 @Fortune piece👇

New paper: #COVID infection may impact pathways that affect cell proliferation, favor DNA degradation, prevent the repair of damaging events, impede the translation of RNA into working proteins, etc., wrote researchers.

How to Reduce #Formaldehyde Exposure in Your #Home


Formaldehyde creates an inescapable #cancer risk for everyone in America. It’s in our homes, coming from our couches, our clothes and our babies’ cribs — sometimes at levels that can trigger breathing problems. Here’s how to reduce your exposure.

This is upsetting when you realize women are denied hysterectomies if they are single and childfree simply because the wishes of some hypothetical future man I wouldn’t date anyway matter more than ours. And because misogyny is still telling society that all women want to have babies more than anything else because it’s in our DNA or some nonsense like that. And I guess this is an issue with #PCOS as well.

This letter to the editor is interesting to me because this person really needed to point out the difference between the risk in the study and the “relative risk” (in the paragraphs after the one below) and after seeing how they used that to manipulate people re Covid I’m not interested in those numbers.

“According to Dr Barnard and colleagues,1 after a mean follow-up of 12 years, women with #endometriosis had an approximately 4-fold increased risk of ovarian cancer compared with women without endometriosis. The risk increased to almost 10-fold when the analysis was restricted to patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis and/or ovarian endometriomas.1 Consequently, the authors advocate for “improved ovarian cancer screening and prevention strategies among women with severe endometriosis.” However, Bretthauer and Kalager2 argue that “misconception and lack of knowledge among doctors and policy makers about absolute and relative risks obstruct shared decision making and hinder truly informed consent.”

Under #Trump, #EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including #cancer, miscarriage and neurological problems, from their reports. And in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves.

We call a person who fights cancer in people an oncologist while branding people who fight cancer in society “radical left lunatics.” I think not. Capitalism is cancer. Trillion-dollar corporations and billionaires are tumours. So, with apologies to neoliberals and fascists everywhere, I prefer to think of myself as a social oncologist.

Researchers found a 62% drop in cervical cancer deaths in young women over the last decade due to HPV vaccination! That’s huge!

The math is simple:

1. Tumors are constantly forming in the body
2. The immune system normally keeps them in check
3. A virus that damages the immune system's ability to fight tumors is allowed to freely circulate
4. We see an explosion in the rate of aggressive cancers

About oncology


I decided to share with you my knowledge about a widespread in our time disease - cancer,
In connection with the loss of my relative (bright memory to her), in the summer she died of cancer, I read the book “Life by Intuition”, written by a married couple, he is a physicist, and she is a psychic, took to treat patients with cancer in the last stages, and cured, but not all.
What I want to tell: cancer is a disease of the soul, which suffers and the reasons are always (in the vast majority) lies in family relationships. If a person is constantly humiliated, he suffers, his soul suffers and can start a mechanism of self-destruction, in medicine called “cancer”.
So, in order not to get cancer, there should be normal, healthy family relationships. What else is remembered: if a woman in the family suffers from a tyrant husband, she must leave him to survive.
If a person has cancer, he must radically change his environment and lifestyle and want to survive, fight for life with all his strength and then he will be cured.

In general, love life, appreciate it, fight and do not let anyone oppress and humiliate yourself.
Take care of yourself and your loved ones, love them. Life is the most valuable gift to us from the Universe.

Recently I read in a report from NASA that an astronaut who came to the ISS on a Boeing spaceship and instead of two weeks had to stay for several months, until February 2025, is losing a lot of weight. It's because of the extreme stress her soul triggered a self-destruct mechanism - cancer. Very sorry for the woman.


REAL TALK
had i not had #LongCovid and #cancer, i would probably be freaking about now, but am surprised with myself that am relatively calm.

i've been +20 years marginalized for blogging about American fascism. what has me calm is that even back in January a lot of mainstream journalists and the whole Democratic Party leadership still refused to acknowledge Trump is running on fascism.

the fact that just days ago NY Times had to acknowledge it?

FUCKING FINALLY.

Amid Talk of Fascism, Trump’s Threats and Language Evoke a Grim Past

Plenty of presidents have been called dictators by their political opponents, but none until now has been publicly accused of being a “fascist” by his own handpicked advisers.

The inflammatory rally was a capstone for an increasingly aggrieved campaign for Donald Trump, whose rhetoric has grown darker and more menacing.


#EPA Says It Plans to Withdraw Approval for Chevron’s Plastic-Based Fuels That Are Likely to Cause #Cancer


The decision comes after a ProPublica investigation revealed that the EPA had found that one of the fuels had a cancer risk more than 1 million times higher than the agency usually considers acceptable.

For seeing people, this is no secret. The overblown #financial part of the U.S. #economy as a huge hematoma has collected all the blood of the economy - money. As a result, the other organs of this economy are dying and dying. In essence, #capitalism is a #cancer.


Research published in Lancet Oncology concludes that in the poorest areas, the risk of dying from #cancer is more than 70% higher than in the wealthiest areas.

The key to the difference is lifestyle changes, with giving up #smoking is a key shift; but of course, especially in poorer areas services to aid giving up #cigarettes has been hit by funding cuts.

Equally, getting fit also isn't cheap; from #bicycles to #gyms, if you have no money fitness aids are out of reach
