Growing PET positive nodule in a patient with histoplasmosis: case report
Pulmonary histoplasmosis is a mycotic infection that often resembles pulmonary malignancy and continues to complicate the evaluation of pulmonary nodules. We report a case of an immunocompetent patient who, despite adequate treatment for known ...
Best thing anyone can do in my opinion is to check out of the hospital scare machine. I decided years ago after undergoing many biopsies, surgeries, mammogram, ultrasounds and them coming back with the big "oops, sorry bout that, it was nothing" bullshit speeches, that I won't be getting cancer because I won't be in there looking for it. May seem silly to some of you, maybe I'm a nut bag, who cares. If I break a leg, I'll let them set it. Beyond that, the scare machine in scrubs is just that, in my eyes.
I'm with you! The more they look for, they more they find! I have also had several breast biopsies.
They do seem to want to scare people to death by invoking CANCER! Look at this poor guy, only 64, with TWO debilitating lung surgeries!! For some reason, I was not freaked out about their CANCER CANCER CANCER fear porn. I already knew there are alternative cures . . .
Yes, I had surgery for a serious broken leg. That is the type of thing surgery is for. I would have been a cripple in the Middle Ages.
Guys, this is the diagnostic / treatment pathway the "standard of care" put ME on!
I balked at the biopsy, they required general anesthesia. I know people who have DIED under general anesthesia. PLUS, as in this case, they told me they would "treat" a negative biopsy as still cancer! B/c they could have missed it! Since the biopsy would make NO DIFFERENCE in their treatment recommendations (surgery and / or chemo / radiation) I deferred to monitoring every 3 - 6 months.
After 5 years of it not growing (despite uptake on the PET scans implying a growing cancer) they decided it was probably histoplasmosis . . . IMAGINE if I had undergone their recommendations!!
In the mean time, another nodule showed up in the other lung. I have been undergoing integrative / alternative treatment for two months, and scheduled for another PET scan, to see if it is in remission. So this is an update on my prayer request of a while ago. THERE ARE CURES!
May your nodules stay small!
and smaller! THANKS pede!
oncologist make approx 65% of their income prescribing chemo that has an efficacy of 2%.
Being healthy is not profitable.
prayers sent✝️
Thank you for the prayers!!
Two of the nurses where I am being treated were formerly oncology nurses. They could no longer stand what chemo was doing to people! One said, "what difference would it make to die of cancer if you die from chemo??" The other one worked with children. The kids would come back 5 yrs later with another cancer like lymphoma.
They are now helping people kill cancer w/o side effects!
"If I break a leg, I'll let them set " I agree, even though I bet there are videos on how to set a bone. 😉HA! I believe I won't get CA because I consume low-carbohydrate foods, zero sugar, take MMS in the morning, and follow the ivermectin/fen-ben protocol once a year. 😎
I started noticing reduced symptoms after being on the keto diet and first phase of treatment!
