Re: Bowel cancer any tips?
Best wishes Gene. Hopefully not bad AIDS.
Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.

No not bad Aids apparently I got it years ago from doing homemade tattoos but it was undiscovered for some reason but the treatment I get is just 2 tablets a day for life and within a month or so my hiv reading will down to neglible readings
I have greatest respect for Rugby Union, they started it mid-way through the 19th century. Thankfully we grabbed it and turned it into a spectacle on 29th August 1895

Good luck, dude.genehunt1973 wrote: βFri Jan 22, 2021 8:32 am Re: My earlier diagnosis of liver and lung cancer which I didn't have, It's now HIV which has brought on Lymphoma cancer, which I have been told by the specialist that it's treatable and curable, and started chemo on Tues, so fingers crossed

Re: Bowel cancer any tips?
Hang in there, Gene. Some of the advancement of HIV medication has been unbelievable.
Great to hear, Vespa. I feel you with the slow start to exercise. I needed an iron infusion in November -was really struggling going up stairs/running was almost impossible, and I've ran/hiked for the past 12 years almost five times a week. So been sticking to walking fairly flat and mild hilly terrain, almost a bit scared to start running again; but will when get new bloods done in Feb. Was fearing the worst, had the endoscopy and colonoscopy and all clear - one wee polyp removed - but the docs wree baffled by being anemic; the iron levels were going up after the infusion so hoping it's working.

Re: Bowel cancer any tips?
That's what the specialist told me, they said it's not the death sentence it used to be and can live a normal (ish) life now, the are more concerned about the cancer but the said its treatable and curable so fingers crossedVespa wrote: βFri Jan 22, 2021 11:37 amThe progress on HIV is amazing, thirty years ago it was a death sentence.genehunt1973 wrote: βFri Jan 22, 2021 9:48 amNo not bad Aids apparently I got it years ago from doing homemade tattoos but it was undiscovered for some reason but the treatment I get is just 2 tablets a day for life and within a month or so my hiv reading will down to neglible readings

I read an article a few years ago about HIV treatments where they said studies showed that life expectancy wasn't impacted by HIV now if you were on a treatment regime.genehunt1973 wrote: βFri Jan 22, 2021 12:50 pmThat's what the specialist told me, they said it's not the death sentence it used to be and can live a normal (ish) life now, the are more concerned about the cancer but the said its treatable and curable so fingers crossedVespa wrote: βFri Jan 22, 2021 11:37 amThe progress on HIV is amazing, thirty years ago it was a death sentence.genehunt1973 wrote: βFri Jan 22, 2021 9:48 amNo not bad Aids apparently I got it years ago from doing homemade tattoos but it was undiscovered for some reason but the treatment I get is just 2 tablets a day for life and within a month or so my hiv reading will down to neglible readings
