Dieing to live .... Living to die..... My cancer road.

Post by Beedub » Sat Oct 23, 2021 6:37 am

As some will know I was diagnosed with cancer early this year..... Stage 2/3 of the oesophagus / junction of the stomach.... No spread thank god and I pray it stays that way .
Recorded one of the worst chemo session that I've just been through. And wanted to share , extremely vulnerable video to put out , but here it is..... Many mbere from this forum have been amazing personally ring and checking in . I've been blown away with the support.

Needless to say , it's been the worst year of my life but I'm proud to stay I've stood up every single day and fought . I've worked all the way through this .

I hope this video helps someone, somewhere ....... Love to you All.... Refuse to give in.

Jesus.. tough times and glad to see you are staying strong, I had no idea you were going through this but just caught up on your business thread you mentioned as its not part of the forum I usually dip into. I'm sure you have the beating of this and have a long and healthy life to look forward to with your family when you are at the end of your battle... take care pal
if its got tits or tyres..its trouble :D

Byron, I really do admire your attitude

I'd like to think that, were I in a similar situation, I'd be able to show the same strength of character but, in truth, I'm really not sure that I could.

Best of luck - you can beat this

Tough hand to be dealt. Positivity is key, so stay strong and keep fighting.

    Stay strong buddy.

    I had stage 2 bowel cancer 9 years ago, I understand something of what you are going through. I managed to beat it, I’m sure you can :)

    Echo what others have said here, Byron. Stay strong and fight it all the way. So much admiration for you.

    Well done for making this video Byron it was obviously not easy for you. You are an inspiration to others and an eyeopener for people who do not understand Chemotherapy. Stay strong.

    Just watched your video, like Perry said I’m not sure I’d have your strength or positive attitude. Stay strong fella, we’re all behind you on this :thumbsup:
