My cancer update

Tuesday was first meeting with chemo doctor, he said we'd start out with surgery to install 2 stents,
one into the suction side of my heart (to inject chemo) and the other a feeding tube into my stomach.
Left that meeting pretty unhappy as reality was starting to set in what my future looked like.

Thursday was first meeting with the radiation doctor and he had looked over my PET scan that morning
and noticed that the lymph node the chemo doctor said was cancerous was right next to a tooth that had
a low grade infection. This doctor had a meeting with the chemo doctor and got him to agree not to start
chemo.

My vocal cord tumor is in it's early stages and very treatable with radiation, 6 weeks of 5 times a week,
then we'll see what's going on with the lymph node. He gave me a prescription to treat the tooth for it's
small infection. If after radiation treatment the lymph node does show cancer, he said minor surgery to
remove it was the best option, so small a problem chemo was overkill.

Next Thursday I go in and they'll make a form fitting mask for my head which they secure to the table
so I'm not moving around plus then they'll give me a schedule to start treatment.

Believe I got lucky having this radiation doctor, 25 years experience with head & neck cancer only.
Plus he believes the lymph node is OK, it's just fighting the tooth. Big weight off my shoulders.

THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD VIBES EVERYONE, THEY'RE WORKING!

Government using satellites to insert microchips into brains

https://hayspost.com/posts/4f11024d-fd71-4a39-8bbc-76ee5bdb63dc



In Kansas, Farr is challenging incumbent U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran in the GOP primary. Career politicians, she says, are
destroying the country. A spokesman for Moran’s campaign declined to answer questions or comment for this story.

She wants to ban the United Nations’ plan to control the world population, a hoax known as Agenda 21/2030. Mass
shootings are staged, she said, to justify changing gun laws. Government operatives use satellites to insert
microchips into people’s brains without their knowledge. “They,” by which she means the Deep State, or the
good-old-boy network, used 5G to give her family COVID-19. “They” also rig the elections in Kansas.

In addition to taking on the legal system, Farr wants to remove innocent people like herself from the
“terrorist watchlist,” and she proposed a plan to help people get out of debt.

Her plan is a social compact: If you give up drugs, alcohol and social media for one year, a wealthy person will pay
off up to $50,000 of your debt. If elected, she promises to use her congressional salary to pay down people’s debt
in this way.

Farr is wanting to take M T Greene's 1st place idiot trophy away from her. Lot more crazy stuff at above link.

When talking to people who haven't watched the hearings

Lie to them, they must enjoy being lied to they watch FQX's BS. Come up with a small lie or a whopper
about how the Jan 6th Committee is FAILING in their efforts to nail djt to the cross, here's a few......

They're proving djt had nothing to do with Jan 6th, it's all "whats his name" doings....YOU SHOULD WATCH

That stupid Committee has given me belly laughs over the stupid things they're saying.....YOU SHOULD WATCH

RNC/DNC was paying Antifa to be there.....YOU SHOULD WATCH

Puzzles me why FQX isn't broadcasting the hearings, this is really good stuff for us repugs.....YOU SHOULD WATCH

Can't remember what Liz Cheney said but it was hilarious.......YOU SHOULD WATCH

Get their attention to what they are missing out on, paint a picture that the hearings are helping Rs
and hurting Ds, little spark of interest as to what they are missing out on could get some to tune in.
Time they learned the truth and could help our side in the midterms.

Please share your good "white" lies you believe might get them to watch the hearings.

$2.38-per-gallon gasoline draws a crowd for Neb. governor

Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts and State Sens. Mike Flood of Norfolk, Lou Ann Linehan of Omaha and John Arch
of La Vista greeted people stopping for gas. They said Republicans could help get gas prices under control.

Ricketts argued for resuming leases to drill on federal land and reviving the Keystone XL pipeline. Flood pushed
for domestic drilling and restraining federal spending.

Neither blamed oil companies for taking record profits. Ricketts defended capitalism and said profits help oil
companies to invest in future energy production.

People are suffering from inflationary costs that President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress made worse,
said Jessica Shelburn, state director of Americans for Prosperity-Nebraska.

Got results back from my PET Scan yesterday, not good

PET Scan was for cancer, it showed cancer in my neck lymph nodes in addition to the tumor on my vocal cords.
Said I'll have to take chemotherapy. Looked up cancerous neck lymph nodes, I have most of the symptoms.
Does everybody lose all their hair during chemotherapy?


On edit: Doctor told me not to overexert myself so I called around and found someone to mow my grass today,
while paying him I asked if he was watching any of the Jan 6th hearings to which I got a no and a negative
statement about them. I responded with "Well as a lifetime republican who voted for tRump I believe he's headed
to prison. Lot of big name Rs turning against him and they're getting death threats for doing so. Reminds me of a
Fascist regime, first go after journalists and shut them up and then go after everybody who disagrees with you."
The looks of confusion on his face was delightful, ended with "You should watch them."

I lie to all repugs in my red town that I'm an R, easier to talk politics with them if they think I'm one of them.

Wish Biden would ask Agolf Twitler to do him a favor.

"Hey donnie would you mind flying over to Russia and talk your buddy Putler into ending his war with
Ukraine?" He'd get over there and ask Putler for asylum and never step foot in this country again.
MAGAstanian's loyalty to him would drop like a hot rock plus they might actually start questioning
all things reQublicOn.

Yes, I know it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY Biden would ask him to do such a errand, but if he did and IQ4.5
refuses to return to the United States, our midterm messages just got a lot easier.

Could the FBI/Secret Service secretly wire him so we finally know what they talk about in private?
Putler would be giving orders and donnie would sound like a yes man.
