I got Cancer again.

[GaryWary]

I haven't a clue why I am telling you guys this. In an hour I spend some time with real as opposed to virtual friends (not that I have made any feal friends from this board - but you know what I mean).

Today I discovered that I have bladder cancer again - the last time was 1998. Two tumours this time. I am 32 with a cancer that normally doesn't affect men until they are 60+. I have been told that I may lose my bladder and have to wear a bag. That is inconvenient for bodybuilding isn't it? I also have to wait for kidney check up - since bladder cancer and kidney cancer are closely related (same cells).

The events of tuesday - i.e. the NY WTC - put my problems in perspective.. but I am very upset. Numb.

That is all I have to say.

I stop my cycle today. I have consumed 50g of protein today. For those interested: net gain 28lbs in 10 weeks.

Very sorry to hear that Gary. Hope everything works out for the best. Sounds like you know what to expect, but still wish you didn't have to deal with it.

Condolences,
Scotsman

Best of luck bud... If you need a bag or not, just be happy to be alive after it's all said and done...

im sorry, good luck

Our prayers are with you bro.

And no the WTC did not put you problems in perspective. It is still just as hard for you and you still have to deal with the pain.

God Bless

Sorry to hear that----this week is depressing with all the crap that happened in NY and last night my ex-girlfriend gave birth to our child but our decision was to give up that child to a pair of christian parents so that is what happened--my prayers will be with you and pray for me also---good luck bud

damn.... that sucks gary.. i wish you the best of luck in your treatment and recovery.. and i hope the kidney tests come back negative.


gary.. while some may find it inappropriate.. i find it to be the perfect time to ask you this..

taking your aas use into perspective.. do you feel as though you can directly attribute the contraction/development of said cancer and the rebound of it as well, to your aas use? also, if so, and if you were able to, would you change anything about the way you used aas or anything about your past if you could go back in time?

i'm seriously starting to think that all this may not be worth it.. i personally have had chest pain the past day now.. and am currently getting evaluated for heart issues after only being on a cycle for 2 weeks... i have also seen one or two more bros in the past week that have had serious health issues come up while on a cycle...

i don't know man.. i'm seriously disheartened at this point. i'm thinking i should have taken up damn triathlons instead of bb.

any thoughts or advice you could give regarding health issues and aas use would be appreciated and respected.
