getting treated for cancer

[littlejohn]

Glad you guys are on the upside.  I'm not disenchanted, did I miss something?

yah well the medical people told me the 2 weeks after treatment would be the worst...i even wrote it in my calendar...AND BOY were they right...just getting back to something like normal now...sheesh...legs are still without any power...so no walking...my wife thinks my legs are due to use of thc instead of alcohol but i got my doubts about that...use of thc was at the same time as the first radiation....

It's definitely the radiation, not the THC OR Alcohol causing the weak legs. I suppose lack of use can cause that too, but it's kind of hard to use something that doesn't function all that well. I do hope your treatments, or initial cancer didn't do any nerve damage.




My mother had body weakness during rad. therapy too.

We've had a lot of bad players / actors surfacing in the community as of late, especially en-masse`. I won't go in to details here of course, but you're free to PM me or contact me on one of my listed platforms (Telegram, Discord, you can PM if you don't have them, and want them) and I'll explain the details.

Probably plenty but that's a good thing if we're talking about what got me stating what I did.

Somehow or other I missed ever seeing this thread before, but it's good to hear you got through that okay. I like the volunteering idea; I think it'll be good for motivation. Stay strong.

That's great new shortleash!  You deserve some easy riding after that battle.  I think it's a great idea to get out and volunteer if you're able!
