Actually per John Hopkins. They do use chemo and radiation to shrink NETs. When the tumor is too large for surgery.

Is it possible that yours is located just perfect for you to get surgery. Maybe. Just seems strange that my cancer in the same area. Is encroaching on organs and yours isn't.

Plus that you would be put in the ICU. With as you said. "No symptoms." Hospitals don't do that. ICU is for people who need intensive care. Hence the name.

Again. I'll concede. It could be possible I'm incorrect. But logic leads me to believe that I'm not.

Maybe years ago. ICU is overused these days for patients that never should have been there. Hospitals are a joke these days. So are a lot the doctors and nurses. Been this way since the 90’s.

Which is why I said I might be incorrect. If I am. Then he has my heart felt apologies.

Just everything I know. Is in major contradiction to what he's claiming.

Yet the sudden deaths of 13 year olds who got the shot doesn't bother you at all. The sudden paralysis or heart problems of those who get the shot don't bother you at all. Quit lying to yourself pretending you care.

Reports of death after COVID-19 vaccination are rare. More than 310 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through June 14, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 5,343 reports of death (0.0017%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine.

COVID-19 Vaccination.

I was only sent to the icu because of my blood pressure being 60/40 which was why I was admitted to the hospital immediately. If not for that I would have probably had to sit in the ER line which is about 150-200 people waiting to get in. If I didn't go to the hospital for pre surgery tests I wouldn't have known it was that bad and I might have died at home on Monday or Tuesday because it was decreasing. The cancer is almost done killing me and I'm still sitting here waiting for surgery.

Here I am sitting in the hospital yesterday waiting on my surgery for stage 4 Pancreatic and Stomach cancer that might just remove all of it along with most of my stomach and pancreas. The surgeon told me that this cancer of mine is 8" by 5" by 5" and goes from my pancreas almost to my esophagus and is the biggest one hes ever seen and hes going to get a couple more surgeons in the room so that they can do all this in one day/8-10 hours (surgery was supposed to have been today).....but guess what???

Yep, you guessed it. I somehow got covid sitting in my house going nowhere the past couple weeks so I'm now in the ICU quarantined with no real symptoms of anything but they are giving me all of these antibiotics and injections who knows why? After 10 days my surgeon will reschedule my appointment (that I've waited for since the end of July, losing almost 50 pounds in the process) for sometime in October.

I started out at about 185-190 pounds when I stopped driving in June. Now I weigh under 135 and I've been eating 2500-3000 calories a day, 1000 calories of protein shakes a day but nothing helps.

Yay covid!!!! Kill me now please! I have no symptoms of it but I've had for weeks a low blood pressure that if untreated was down to 60/40 but yeah they'll call me a covid death if I fall out dying of this cancer that had eaten my insides!

My thoughts are with you man. I'm sorry you're having to go through any of this. I am hopeful all goes well, and you get to feeling better.

Well I didn't mean to hijack someone else's thread but I seem to be doing fine and am just waiting on surgery which can't happen until I go through 10 days of pointless quarantine in the covid ward, meanwhile my entire family came to visit and also my wife has to sit out there at home and can't visit. I'm only 48 yearss old, 49 in 4 days and I was in excellent health and have good lungs and good heart so if anybody can make it through this surgery I should be able to. All I can do is wait and see while losing more and more weight in the process.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Maybe I'll have to start my own thread somewhere here but I don't want to come across as somebody looking for sympathy on the internet lol.

Not so fast. My niece tells me her doctor strongly advises against it. And she says if it becomes mandatory, her doctor and 60% of the doctors and nurses, in that medical clique are going to walk. Somewhere in Florida.
