    Noah, oncology nurse hier,with 15 years of experience,you can do it,I have seen it,I recommend pet scan to every cancer patient,new subscriber because I am going to follow you right to the end of your healing process, much love to you and your family 🥰

      I disagree. 9 out 10 oncology medical staff would refuse treatment and prefer quality of life and dignity. Dying is an absolute and should not be feared. Noah's journey will full of pain and more suffering.

      Oncology nurse 25 years in practice. Let me try to clarify all the infos. First the surgeon removed your cancer so as far as we know you are cancer free BUT in case there is some cancer cells that might have detached and went in the lymphatic circulation that cannot be detected as now, the treatment is to prevent the return of the cancer. Since you have a high grade cancerous tumor the recurrence without any treatment is high (research wise). So you are in the curative treatment option (we want you cancer free) and not in the palliative (you have an inoperable cancer but we want it to stay in sleeping mode). Is that clear to you ? Secondly i recommend you to do a pet-scan which is more precise than a CT-Scan to be sure you don’t have metatasis. Metastasis is cells from the cancerous colon tumor (primary) that made another tumor (secondary) elsewhere in your body (for colon cancer the first place that metastasis showes up normally is in the liver or the lungs). Normally before the operation you should have a pet-scan or whole body MRI to see if the cancer has spread out. I don’t know if you already had an whole body MRI before the surgery. What i can tell you is to always seek research in any of the alternative or complementary treatment. With chemo yes there is side effects but there is research on it and yes it lower your immune system by lowering your white blood cells but there is also ways to make those white cells count going up. Make your research and get the view of different oncologist. Be strong 💪🏼 ❤

      Big difference between stage 2 & stage 3C. It's all stage 4 from there on. Positive thinking is great but at the end of the day, he is dangling between stage 3C & stage 4. Pet scan will only show up the cancer, which is great but it won't cure what he has. I dont think he'll beat it at such a late stage. Won't be long before he's in stage 4. He will need strong chemo if he has any chance...hopefully that will give him some time, palliative care for relief.

    This might be the hardest news I’ve heard in a long long time. Noah I fucking love you so much man and I don’t even know you! You have helped me through so many hard times when it comes to my mental health. I think I stumbled upon your page 12 or so years ago. A doctor on your page at the time said something along the lines of “what goes down, must come up”.. it sounds silly.. since it defies the laws of gravity. But for some reason it gave me such hope… I remember balling crying in my room by myself, in a complete state of anxiety and depression. 12 years later I am doing unbelievably better, and some of that has to do with you Noah. You have changed so many lives. You are an angel truly… put on this earth to help people who are going through similar things. Nobody wants to go through things alone.. and you help people feel like they have a friend going through it with them. Even if it is through a screen.
    You will be in my thoughts EVERY FUCKING DAY until I hear that you are cancer free.. which I know you will be. I feel it and can see it so clearly..
    I don’t know a whole lot about your cancer that you have. But I do know that while I was an oncology nurse I saw so so so many young people like yourself get through worse diagnosis (stage 4) etc.. I can’t wait for you to have this worry and speed bump behind you.
    Sending you all the love from Fargo, North Dakota ❤

You have no idea how many people you have been helping looking up to you like a personal example of a fighter, a warrior! This is just another extreme challenge in your life that you are here to fight and to inspire others as always! Life has been unfair and unkind both to you and your dad...I know....but guess what - your suffering is not meaningless! Keep fighting and please know that I see you as an inspiration of strength! Your suicide prevention videos and messages, your mental health struggles, addiction, now cancer...This is not by accident!

Your father’s love of children has always resonated with mine - so authentic, so genuine, so true. I’m 67, with children (teenagers) by marriage at 42. Now, I have grandchildren. I am the oldest of 8, and learned how to love children unconditionally from my dad. Your dad reminds me of him. I’m a retired high school teacher, then middle school, then elementary… after a masters in library & info sciences, I ran an elementary school library at an international school in Jakarta. Then, I met my husband online & left teaching to move to Wisconsin & marry him, finishing up my working life in a public library. I am honored to know you, and to hold space for you as you face these challenges. You inspire me; thank you.

    20 years ago I had cervical cancer and the thoughts that race through your head is tremendous. It was a roller coaster ride but I survived that aggressive cancer. At the time cisplatin was fairly new and extremely aggressive chemo. I made it! It helps to dive into something you love, favourite TV shows, garden centers... literally anything you have interests in, just to give your mind a rest for a little while. You got his. Also, if you can, look into red light therapy. Lots of positive stuff I've heard about that.

    I did chemotherapy for my stage 4 colon cancer. I did 12 rounds of FOLFOX chemotherapy every 2 weeks for about 6 months. It won't be as bad as you think. It's much better knowing you've done everything than to have regrets. At least for me, there were no noticeable lasting side effects. Of course everyone is different. During the treatment I had numbness in my legs and arms and the tips of my fingers and toes started turning black, but those symptoms faded less than half a year after the treatment was over. It's much better being alive!

    Not an oncologist but a physician and my understanding is you had a positive mesenteric margin which means that the cancer involved the margin of excision rather than having a clear margin around the tumor.

    I’m completely with you on this, arrange a second opinion with an oncologist as soon as possible to avoid losing valuable time after your initial appointment. Trust in their expertise and follow their recommendations closely. I believe your chances of overcoming this are overwhelmingly high, but cancer is not something to take chances with. It’s essential to be cautious with alternative therapies unless fully supported by your doctor, with the risks and benefits clearly explained. You have too much to lose to rely heavily on unproven approaches.

    I'm still very young but there have been so many people in my family who have had cancer and who have it right now (3 currently have it and I can't even count how many have had cancer in the past). One of my teacher also has cancer right now and we talk about it all the time. I don't know what it's like to personally have cancer but I have seen so many people go through it. Cancer is not a death sentence, it's simply an obstacle. Think of it as a wall. If it's too high or wide to go over or around, then go right through it. Face it head on and fight. Never stop.
    Also, I'm in high school and in a medical program. I tell people that I am a pre-pre-med student. I have wanted to become a doctor for as long as I can remember, and your dad is one of the few people to thank for that so you really are so lucky.

      The thing to watch out for may be this goblet cell adenocarcinoma. It may behave differently than a regular adenocarcinoma. That is why I suggested that Noah try to find a specialist at one of the major cancer centers. Maybe treatment is the same and maybe it isn't. And maybe we don't have enough research to know and oncologists make their best guess.
      For example, for years we automatically treated all breast cancers with chemo. Then we found out many cancers were ER/PR+ HER2-
      Many of these cancers would have a low response to chemo but WOULD respond to aromatase inhibitors. I have a lobular carcinoma and it responds poorly to chemo. These cancer cells types are slower growing, so they don't get as affected by chemo.
      Even within many cancers now, we are finding that testing the tumor's DNA may reveal mutations that respond better to one treatment than another.
      This is precision medicine, and it is going forward slowly but surely.
      They are also doing some interesting things with immunotherapy with colon cancer, but this is not standard practice yet--not anywhere close.

    Thank you both so much....I will follow your journey. Your sharing of this quickly developing ground-breaking information is truly invaluable. Not having a medical background, keeping up with these new approaches to conquering disease, can be truly dizzying. We need a measured and intelligent response to help us focus and clarify. Best of luck Noah. Led by your blessing of a father, you appear to have a helluva team on your side. I sincerely think you will knock this one out of the park and ultimately live a long healthy life. God bless...🌿

    TOGETHER 💗 My husband had stage three testicular cancer in 1983 . He went through aggressive surgery and chemo . He made and is still here and doing well ! He is 73 with 9 grandchildren! I understand your emotions totally. As his wife,my main lesson was to take it one day at a time; the waiting for test results etc. was excruciating at times but truely putting yourself in Gods hand is where you will find peace . You are and will be an inspiration !hugs to you

      Testicular cancer is highly curable, even in its late stages with spread. Colon cancer is a very aggressive cancer thats very different in the way it acts etc. More people die from colon cancer than testicular because it's a nasty cancer & if not found early it's hard to cure unfortunately. Glad to hear your hubby is still here x

    Note at 17:19, the cancer is locally advanced so no evidence of distant metastasis but it has invaded nearby structures/lymph nodes so that is local metastasis rather than distant metastasis if that makes sense.

    To the first two questions at the beginning of the video, I had the following experiences:
    - PET scan? They typically do these to test for metastasis. It's more accurate because it shows the metabolic activity. Actual cancer cells that are currently active will light up as a christmas tree. It's how I found out mine had spread to my bones. In your case you won't learn much more from a PET scan as you've already been staged.
    - I was doing testosterone replacement before my diagnosis and my oncologist suggested me to stop. It depends entirely on the kind of tumor you have so definitely something to discuss with your oncologist.

    • @JeffryDegrande
      @JeffryDegrande 2 дня назад

      @@lmk0799 but then his doctor has completed staging anyway? The thing about a PET scan is that it's not that big of a deal to do once, but it kind of sucks to keep doing them over and over.
      In the end they do inject a bunch of radioactive stuff in your body.
      So if the doctor has concluded the staging and you accept that conclusion, it doesn't make much sense to do a PET scan now. Better do one later instead to track progress.

You and your father are doing a great service giving hope to this who are currently fighting along side of you and this you’re educating in hopes of never needing it but having it in case they need to share it with others. My deepest prayers are either you and your family as you take on the battle of your life. Never give up, always continue to fight and educate yourself and whomever will listen. Journal your experiences and education and write a book. You were pit on this path for a purpose and your story should be told and shared with everyone who reads it. God bless you.

    PET scans are liberally used to see where cancer cells are pre and post traditional chemos in Australia. I've always wondered why they use a form of sugar to light up the cancer cells in PET scans when cancer feeds off sugars and glutamine. You might find out along this trip. Everything you are doing sounds great and I would definitely be interested in hearing about these alternative treatments. Just some good news: a dear friend had cancerous tumours lining the inside of her stomach 1 year ago. After 12 months treatment at the Peter O'Brien Cancer Centre in Sydney she is completely cancer free not requiring surgery. There is so much hope for you. X

    Together, Noah and Dr. Paul.
    I don't think any of one us could possibly think that a video is "too long" anymore, given the circumstances especially. This kind of situation tends to make people focus on the preciousness of life, and I think that feeling also reaches those of us who support you, reminding us of how lucky we are to have videos such as this. And I don't mean that as any indication for how long you do have left by any means-- I think we'd feel a similar way even if it were a pre-cancer or a car wreck or other brush with death. We are reminded of how grateful we are for your guidance. So please bring on videos of any length you feel up to!
    By the way, it's amazing how you find the strength and time to reply to us even in the depths of what you're going through. That shows what a good and outward-facing spirit of service and care for others that you have. God bless you, Noah. And God bless you as well, Dr. Paul. My mom is a naturopathic doctor (MD/HMD) who was pushed out of the medical community for similar reasons to you, after a career of 30 years. It's heartbreaking and I truly feel for you. You and my mom are the sorts of doctors who really got in it for patient-centered, holistic care. It shatters the entire sense of self to not be allowed to do what you are so called for; at least in my mother's case I can say this is true. I am glad for the silver lining, however, that you now have this time to dedicate to your son's recovery, and I trust that he is indeed in the very best hands. Bless you both and good luck! We are all cheering you on.

    My cousin had throat cancer and Pet scans were very helpful. Chemotherapy is a very personal choice. I think taking chemotherapy does improve your chances of survival but clearly not easy.Chemotherapy Usually recommended after surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence.
    immunotherapy can genetically or specifically target cancer cells. I strongly recommend that if you are a candidate for that based upon the genetic identification of your cancer.

    I've been there. I had colon cancer and ended up having 14" of colon and a grapefruit sized tumor (11cm) tumor removed in addition to about 24 lymph nodes. You can get through this. You've been through the worst part, which is the pain post-op (like I said... been there... I ended up having to spend 5 days in the hospital after the surgery.) Cut sugar out completely. Your high fat diet with no sugar is spot on. Get through your chemo and ring the bell (you'll learn what that means soon... it is a good thing.) I'm in my 40s and am over a year cancer free. You can do this.
