Hi TRP community, long time lurker here. I wanted to share with you the story of me being diagnosed with lymphoma cancer,through a red pill lense.
A little bit about myself : I'm a 25 years old dude, I work as a freelancer in web development. Found out about the illness 3 months ago. I don't have any Health Insurance, nor the funds necessary to afford the treatment. I'm just waiting for the end at this point. I don't know if this is the right place to post, but at this point this is the only community I feel at ease in. Here are some conclusions I came to with this experience:
- Without the Red pill I would have died a virgin:
Like most in my teenage years I was as blue pill as it gets , put girls on a pedestal, got cheated on etc. I'm very thankful for having discovered this community, I always appreciated truth and TRP is as true as it gets like most of you know by now. Worked on myself, tried to change my mindset about sexuality and attraction and my life changed. This shit works if you put in the work.
- Ultimately family are the only ones who really care about you.
Once people know you're dying every conversation becomes awkward af. People whom I considered my best friends now do their best to avoid me, rarely ask about me or come visit. My parents are devastated, coming from a poor family there's not much they can do but they tried everything without much success. So never put anyone before your family, when shit hits the fan they'll be the only ones supporting you.
- LTR are not what you think they are. AWALT.
Before my diagnosis I was dating a girl for three months while having ONS and some plates. When she knew I was sick, she got depressed at first then just disappeared. Women will feel the weakness no matter the circumstances. Was not disappointed as I knew my sidebar. Still feels weird to experience it firsthand.
Conclusion: I know I'm not saying anything new here, all this had been said multiple times. The RP made me live a good few years. I wish I could have discovered it sooner. Please everyone reading this, live life to fullest and get health insurance :D .
Thank you TRP community for your inspiration and hard work.
PS: I'm sorry for my elementary english, it's not my mother tongue.
edit: When I first posted this I didn't think it would cause much traction. The community was amazing with many insightful comments and encouraging stuff. I now feel accompanied by an army in this battle. This is more than a subreddit it's a brotherhood.
Many people offered to help me financially with the treatment, I don't know if this is the right way to do this. Mods please fix it if there is any problem. I made a bitcoin wallet and can also get funds through western union/money gram cash delivery.
Bitcoin wallet : 14KZ35YRrwjWYydbTpd5qJb9SE16mdGNvV
For doxxing myself or personal info please feel free to PM me. I can't thank you guys enough.
Hey man, I'm really sorry to hear about your circumstances. We have a rule against requests for financial help except in a few specific cases. Can you PM me or the mods some proof of yourself and what's happening medically, or take out the bitcoin address? I don't want to cut you off of a possible support network, but we have to be careful for scammers.
Oncologist here. Where do you live? If you live in the States, you can get treatment regardless of Insurance. This is a aggressive cancer that will kill you quickly without proper treatment. PM me please.
I pray that he contacts you are you are able to point him towards treatment.
I'm a doctor also.
Lymphoma can be curable in young adults.
It's not the end of the road OP.
Contact this oncologist please.
Hey I did and he confirmed me the same things my treating doctor told me. Unfortunately he doesn't have an idea on the health care policy in here, so I'm still searching for a solution. Great insight tho, thank you everyone.
Is there some way I can help with the funding? I don't have a lot of money (student), but I would be happy to send over some money to get the ball rolling. If you set up a Bitcoin wallet I'll send you BTC. If not I sincerely hope you can get what you need bro.
Thank you man, updated my original post with BTC info. Please don't increase your hardships just for me.
Please do not send any bitcoin until the mods are able to confirm his identity and situation. I don't want anybody here to be scammed. I will reply to your comment if/when I get verification.
I haven't sent for this exact reason. I'm going to look into it a bit more on my day off!
Set up a gofundme, do something, this is your life your talking about. I respect the calm with which you write this post but there's gotta be a way to fight this.
You play the role of Archangel Michael well. I hope you can help this lad.
You are a very kind person
/u/gilgamesh-23
Tagging him in hopes that he will come check.
Already PMed him. Thx buddy.
Post update with thoughts on beating cancer.
Will do my friend. I promise.
Amazing.
Just think, 20 years ago you would have just died. I don't think people are realizing how much effect on humanity the internet has. It's magnificent for lack of a better word.
He's not out of the woods yet.
Nope, just found a dusty map in an abandoned cabin. There is a long hike ahead of him.
It's really just a great time period to be alive. Few hundred years ago life expectancy was way shorter. People don't realize how lucky we are...
And the effect modern medical science has
That's great to hear! Thanks for letting me know.
Life is eternal, check out Buddhism, meditate, give up the desire for existence, hopefully you can avoid continuing with more lives full of suffering.
Wow, I'm honestly speechless. The aspect of life being threatened at your prime is definitely something I wouldn't wish on my enemy. You have read the red pill and have seen that it works, the message the Red Pill has for you right now is two things.
Be strong, for yourself and those around you. Life is fucking unfair but it's worth it. That's all I can say.
Be grateful, for whatever happens, be satisfied with your life and that will bring true happiness in the face of tragedy. Hope you come out healthy and beat cancer's ass.
Thank you for the nice words, trust me it means a lot.
My best friend starts chemo next week he's 21.
I'm meeting up with him this weekend and love him like a brother.
How can I help him I have no idea what to say or do?
Man I wish you the best from the bottom of my heart.
Yes, but don't do the error to treat him any kinder than before.
Just be besides him like you use to do. And don't indulge in silly piety even if he show desperation and pessimism. If you play this well ( not too much ) that's probably the best thing you can do for him.
At least this is what I'll try to do with my best friend in same situation.
Kiss him flush on the lips; hard and deep. Drink from them like the finest wines.
Cancer sucks, but the best thing about getting it in the 20s is that your body can withstand chemo and you have a much higher chance of survival than getting it in your 50s.
Treat it, you don't need to pay. WTF do you care about your credit.
We don't have credit cards here. You either have the money or you don't.
Bro, if you can't get chemo, at least go for cheaper alternative therapies.
Go to the states where you can freely get a hold of cannabis oil as treatment. You won't lose anything by trying it. I hope you look it up and it works for you.
We are praying for you brother. Fight this bro!
Life is unfair? I'm literally staring at my insurance card right now(around the same age). There are people who have credit cards made from pure gold. I don't understand how this happens.
Life's an unfair game. Some people won the lottery (I did), but happiness isn't found in the gold.
but no one's frowning in a Lamborghini
but you can laugh joyfully in a Lada
looks up car on google
you got the wrong guy I like pussy
You do you, but some people just aren't the same. Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell could have afforded Lambos, but it didn't seem to do anything for them in the end. At the end of the day it's just a car once the initial thrill wears off.
Granted, if what makes you happy is getting laid it might help pull girls looking for your money.
I just like fucking tbh. Wish more girls were just down to fuck like animals and then go home nonchalantly like we just got off work.
You can be equally happy without one. Stop this defeatist attitude.
its only defeatist if you see it that way. I see it as a reason to bust my ass and get a lamborghini
Most of the time that guy driving that car only got that far because he thought it would make him happy. Then he gets one and realizes it doesn't make him happy.
Thanks man for your story, many people will read this and they will think about there own life. How small our little bitchy problems are, I was a bit down the last few days but your post changed my mind. You may inspired many of us! Wish you best luck
You are the embodiment of redpill. Instead of using your illness for attention or sympathy you asked for neither in your post. You used your precious time to give the community a quality submission. We are in your debt.
The largest lie of the bluepill narrative is that a LTR or wife becomes family and that a man can drop his guard. No. Under the right circumstances both will abandon you.
Thanks again for your post. You are in my thoughts.
My dad died of a similiar cancer (hodgkin's disease) and he went through years of chemotherapy until he was so worn out that he died (at 45) of some random thing.
What was unusual was that despite the pain he maintained a positive attitude through all of it.
That's all you can control.
Some forms are cureable and others not... so check to see what category you are in. If it can be treated with a realistic chance of a cure you might seek treatment somehow. Otherwise just let nature take it's course.
I'm sorry to hear about your dad. The form I have is stage 3 non hodgkinian large diffuse cells B (just translated don't know what it is called in english). I hear it's very responsive to treatment. Did one cure of chemo but couldn't continue afterwards. Thank you for sharing and for your concern.
know it's easy for me to say but there is always a way to find funding for treatment, don't give up. It's responsive to treatment, it's worth the fight. Please believe me, I'm a 25 year old survivor of diffuse large b cell non-hodgkins lymphoma. If I can be of any help as someone to talk to, please pm me.
If you can't get treatment I'd suggest meditations that reduce your stress and reactivate your natural immune response.
By reenergizing your immune response it allows your body to heal itself.
I suspect that most people have cancers that are at the lower stages all the time. Once the cancer "breaks out" (metastasizes) then it's a race between you and the "rebellion" of rogue cells. Chemo (and radiation) is designed to slow down the "rogue cells" and give your immune system the chance to catch up.
Ultimately it's your own immune system that must win.
Focus on the win.... don't just give up because that will help the rogue cells.
Very insightful comment thank you. Any medication you can suggest ? Will search for the equivalent here. Doctor gave me paracetamol and tramal for the pain and some medication to reduce the night sweats.
You need vast improvement in nutrition and exercise, see my post further down the page.
Everything starts at the cellular level. You have to understand that, you have to understand the disease at a very molecular level to understand how you're going to beat this.
Positive energy, and meditation are certainly helpful factors. But they're just helpful, they aren't treatments. Your body is an incredibly complicated system, but nearly everything in it relates to nutrition.
Research vegetarian diets and the impacts on your body with cancer. You need to be sure every single day you are eating properly, you need structure.
Apple cider vinegar I've heard is a factor that helps. If I were you I'd be researching everything about lifestyle for people with cancer in order to fight the battle.
Watch Tony Robbins videos, or other speeches online for changing your attitude. Attitude will impact lifestyle, and your lifestyle needs to be good food and exercise, everyday. Belief you're going to overcome, money is just an obstacle, eating healthy and exercising is entirely up to you. Take everyday moment by moment, rebuild yourself at the extreme micro level, you're young and can beat this.
All I can suggest it to keep an optimism that you might actually survive.
Your immune system determines the outcome.
Focus on positive energy.
If your will to live is strong and you face this with a warm heart you might find yourself alive a few years from now and recover.
But if it doesn't go well still have the warm heart and die in that mode.
Don't go down in fear... be brave and hold your head high no matter what happens.
The Red Pill Stoic Mind will help.
My dad used to even crack jokes despite fully advanced cancer, so you can find strength if you choose to.
Sounds like exactly what my mom had. And she was able to go into full remission from treatment. Please don't give up. There must be a way you can secure the funds.
I am also a TRPer - a little less lately - but work in this field especially advanced SAFE clinical trials. Go to clinicaltrials.gov and spider your exact situation. For what it's worth, stay away from Chemo and Radiation as much as possible if you still can. The antibody drugs are generally easier on you though you will feel nausea and chills (usually a good sign they are working ;)
Go for Phase 3 trials as priority... Phase 2 likely dicier
Just saw you have no insurance - go for charitable care, go crowdfund.. also the Trials can cover costs possibly along with drug company appeals
Will look into it thank you.
Yeah just list and go punch the numbers to everywhere you want to get treated - talk to the Onc nurses. If you need more help ping me and we'll find a way to connect off the grid.
I have heard of ketogenic diets almost halting cancer tumour growth. It may be worth looking into, even though I don't quite understand what lymphoma is.
An older (2011) study with 16 people: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3157418/
"These pilot data suggest that a KD is suitable for even advanced cancer patients. It has no severe side effects and might improve aspects of quality of life and blood parameters in some patients with advanced metastatic tumors."
Might be worth a try. Also - keep that mental state up. I swear to god your mind can control your health, for better or for worse
Keto diet is great, been on it for more than a year. Stopped when I was diagnosed but will look into it.
There are lots of other treatments you can do yourself! Start right now by shocking your system and stop eating any dairy, gluten and red meat. Eat tons of fruit and leafy greens.
Drink a tablespoon of bicarbonate mixed with water everyday to get your body as alkaline as possible (look this up, its crazy how some people have cured themselves with this).
And cbd-oil, seriously, get the strongest type and start using it yesterday.
This might sound like mumbo jumbo to some, but people have proven this stuff works by treating themselves. The human body can handle cancer by itself to a large extent if you just help it along by not putting more bad stuff in your body continuesly and let it do its thing uninterupted.
My hope goes out to you brother, kick cancers ass and own this life. I have been suffering from undiagnosed neurological problems for the past year and doctors say it might be spinal cancer if im unlucky, but i am doing all i can already to let my body work on healing itself from whatever is wrong and create an enviroment in my body that cancer-cells and bad bacteria/viruses wont be able to grow in.
Noted ! Will give it a go thank you. Good luck to you too, hope you'll be doing fine. Stay strong as well brother (y)
Have you heard about medical cannabis? I would look into it since you don't have nothing to lose.
Watch these clips:

Like /u/sweetmagwheels said, if i were you i would get strong cannabis oil (on top of a good diet and exercise) and take it every day. Cannabis has legit helped epilepsy, parkinsons etc. diseases and has some studies on preventing cancer too if you google that shit.
I've also read that taking sodium bicarbonate (aka baking soda) is a good way to manage body pH levels. You should read into this more and test your pH too, all this shit can mess up your body.
It's really important to have a good attitude and not give up no matter what your doctor says, minimizing stress is very good for the body. Don't underestimate the power of mind, it can do amazing things even if it sounds fucking retarded. Be like Conor Mcgregor, believe in yourself that you will beat that shit.
I've heard of plant based diets stopping cancer too, you should look into that.
ZeroCarb bro. https://zerocarbzen.com/
Do not eat any plant matter. Meat is a bit more expensive, but you can get cheap ground meat at walmarts.
Yo, others saying eat only fruit and veggies. Which is it reddit?
Plants, especially Broccoli, are fucking healthy. Don't listen to that dude
Almost all of the nutrients come from the Earth. Meat is to be eaten sparingly, the diet pyramid.
I agree fruit and veggies are essential, but if you wanna hit about 1g protein per lbs of body weight, you have to eat a decent amount of meat and eggs. I usually eat a couple chicken breast and a couple eggs every day.
Lmao you've been eating a fuckton of meat and cheese and horrible shit for a year with no fruit? No wonder you got cancer you inbred fuck. You deserve to die, just think how many animals were slaughtered so you could eat your fad diet. Enjoy your slow miserable death retard
You're out of here, faggot.
He needs proper medical treatment. Chemo is his best bet. Everyone saying do this or do that will make him waste money on things that won't do a damn thing.
Exactly. He has been told he has a form of non-hodgkins lymphoma that is highly responsive to treatment. He needs to get the money for chemo and just do it. If he wastes time and money with diets and alternative treatments he is just going to end up like Steve Jobs.
It's sad that he can't get treated only because he doesn't have the money for it.
There is an episode of Tim Ferriss's podcast with Dom D'Agostino, where they talk about ketogenic diet and fasting related to chemo. Basically, there are some studies and examples of people, who had great results when fasting before chemo. Check it out, hope it will help.
https://tim.blog/2015/11/03/dominic-dagostino/
Dude i dont know where you live. But if you are still reasonably healthy you might want to think about moving. If you are decent as a web developer you can probably find a job easy enough in europe. ANd if you got to france , germany , or the netherlands then medical treatment for your condition is not only decently affordable but also of quite high standard.
And almost all these countries have it built into their rule of law that you have to be helped regardless of whether you can pay.
Now i know i make it sound easy which it is not. Because there are quite a few hoops to jump through but you should look at it. You will probably end up with a decent debt if you survive regardless but being poor is curable death is kinda permanent. You only get one life and any option to make it last is a good one.
Try GOFUNDME for money medical procedures.
With the clock ticking we are all reminded we have so little time.
We all have the same terminal illness--life.
But shit, how liberating to truly live like there's no tomorrow.
Real talk ! gofundme is great, but I can't use it because my country isn't supported and there is no way to get the funds to my local bank account. Only way to receive donations from abroad is via money transfer companies like western union. Really appreciate it tho.
What about bitcoin/litecoin? Being serious.
I'm not sure. Is it possible to transfer funds from bitcoin to a local account or it's just to pay stuff online ? Because our hospitals only accept checks and cash.
You'd probably just sell the bitcoin/litecoin for whatever your local currency is. Not sure what county you're in but you could probably find an exchange.
How long do you think you have ? It's very easy to be supportive towards someone in such a case, but all these comments come from people more fortunate, often in comfort and relative happiness. Many people have never had to deal with death on proximity and it takes a certain character/inner strength to take it in and still radiate positivity.
Even if you know you're going to fall, you owe it to yourself to give up a good fight. I believe if you have The Fire , nothing can take you down
Great comment very much appreciate it. My treating doctor urges me to do the treatment as it is a very dangerous type of cancer, tells me every day you lose is working against you. She didn't tell how much time I have left.
Dude go with conventional modern evidenced based cancer treatment. Dont go for any alternative herbal type mumbo jumbo. There are ways to get proper health care without insurance too. I am doc but not an oncologist. Hope you had a proper consultation with your oncologist too. Lymphoma is aggressive and you need to be treated quickly and effectively. Good luck,
Guys there are over 1500000 people here lets all chip in even if it is 10 buck or 20 or 5, and send him money through western union.
This story has really touched me, I'm broke as fuck but willing to help because life is more important than money.
Please do not send any bitcoin/money until the mods are able to confirm his identity and situation. I don't want anybody here to be scammed. I will reply to your comment if/when I get verification.
My mudder always said "If God takes away a man's legs, he don't deserve to feel good."
What does this mean ? Who the fuck is Mudder ?
lol. Some people are under the notion that you ultimately deserve any ailments that come your way. But anyone with a hint of real life experience can tell you bad things happen to good people all the time.
I am touched by your post and i am not an easy emotional persona.
I know first hand by an own personal disease and follow up depression that woman are repelled by weakness.
You deserve better, i implore you can work your way out somehow.
Dude, you need to get treatment. Don't just wait for death. There are people out there willing to help you whether they know you or are strangers.
You or a close friend/relative started a gofundme page of some kind to help cover the costs of treatment. You're part of a group of 200,000 + like minded people here who I'm sure would at least throw a buck or two your way.. The more wealthy members probably more. Most wealthy people are smart and therefore charitable to those in need.
There's also organizing benefit/charity events among other things. Worst comes to worse.. Just do what you can to get the treatment and figure out how to pay the bills later. This is your life we're talking about.
Hope you pull through man.
There's practically no way to get funds online deposited to my country. You need to have a high value card to do so. Only way people online is by direct cash transfer, stuff like western union. I'll see if I can find a way.
Can you message me the country you're located in? I want to try and help you. I've worked with freelancers around the world and its never been an issue to get them funds, there are many different ways to move funds around the world.
Dude what are you talking about? You can get euros/dollars sent to your country, banks would gladly accept them.
Holy shit. As a 22 year old dude, I was diagnosed with Leukemia 3 months ago too and this is all dead-accurate on my half as well. The girls, the friends, and especially the family.
You can only rely on yourself, and your family is the only people who truly care about you.
If you need to talk to someone going through similar mental and physical stresses you can always DM me. Keep strong regardless, friend.
Cancer cannot survive without glucose. Get, and stay in ketosis.
Don't want to give a false hope but at this point might as well give it a try.
You do realize that everything you eat gets broken down into glucose right? It doesn't matter if it's from broccoli or a candy bar. Not to mention your healthy cells use glucose as well. Ketosis doesn't stop your body from getting its glucose.
Great question @Chozo_Joe! Actually, that's not really correct. Please allow me to help your understanding.
When you eat carbohydrates, those macronutrients break down into glucose. When you stop eating carbohydrates (or have <20g/day), you body goes through a transition, and instead switches into Ketosis. Your body then breaks down fat and creates keytone bodies, which are structurally similar to glucose, but are not the same, and not processed the same. Our bodies have adapted to EITHER run on fat (with protein as a catalyst), or directly off of sugar/glucose. The body runs equally well in either mode, and arguably much better while in ketosis, since sugar is basically a toxin to the human body, in every way that you can consider something a toxin.
Your brain does need a small amount of actual glucose. During ketosis, that can be, and is created by the liver in a process called gluconeogenesis. So, while in ketosis, you basically have no glucose in your bloodstream, low levels of insulin (unless you eat large quantities of protein), and instead your body runs off of keytone bodies. So, if you have the kind of cancer that cannot live without glucose, that cancer is starved. These cancers specifically cannot run on keytones, they require glucose to survive.
The reason why a ketogenic diet is inconceivable as a potential treatment option to the American Cancer Society (ACS), is because it's "unthinkable" that American's could eat a carb-free diet. I think it's because the ACS gets their information mainly from Big Sugar (e.g. Nabisco, General Mills, etc), and they WANT cancer to continue to be un-cured. I mean, the ACS takes in $815 BILLION dollars annually, do you think they actually want to stop cancer? So, it's incumbent on us all to educate each other. After all, in the Information Age, ignorance is a choice. I hope this helps, brother!
Hi bro. I am a software engineer too. Why don't you come to Europe to get treated? We have a hard time hiring good developers here.
Tell me how I can help.
Thought about it. Visa procedure is tough, you can't just go work there need to study abroad first. It would take a long time which I don't have right now. Thank you brother, if I manage to get through this I'll think about it. Very much appreciate it.
Where are you from?
You're a true soldier, keep strong.
Doesn't your country have some form of welfare for medical assistance most do
It does. But you still gotta pay a percentage firsthand in order to benefit from it. Did everything in my power but couldn't raise the funds. It is what it is. Grateful for your concern tho.
Start a gofund me don't give up
I started a fundraising facebook page but it didn't lead to anything besides inciting pity. The fundraising websites like gofundme and co are great but to get it rolling you need your social media friends contributing first. This is impossible as payment online is very restricted in my country. And receiving funds from these sites to my country is nearly impossible.
What country do you live in?
How much would you need? This forum reaches a lot of people - see if we can help.
Managed to get 20% of the funds, still need around 8000$. I'm not sure how I feel about it. This community gave me a lot. I wouldn't want anything more than the ideas and stories shared here that made me kill the beta and be the man I am today.
Please do not send any bitcoin/money until the mods are able to confirm his identity and situation. I don't want anybody here to be scammed. I will reply to your comment if/when I get verification.
This worlds terrible. People have "Gofundme" for survival.
First of all I just want to say I am sorry.
My mom was diagnosed with cancer when I was 13 years old, she had already had it for a good while at that point and the chances for surviving were slim. Her only way of surving was to go to back to her home country (Germany) together with my dad, where she was operated in Hamburg. She survived against the odds after many operations, and I remember visiting her on the hospital a few days after. At that time I didn't know she had cancer, as everybody around me and my sister, and brother were told to not say anything to us. I am forever my parents thankful for that, coping with my little sister (5 years) crying all night was enough for me.
I just want to let you know that there is hope in the darkness, things that shouldn't happen do happen. You are a very brave human for dealing with this the way you are.
All the best wishes to you man, and even though you mentiod it would be hard to get out the money from gofund me, I still think you should try.
Hey man thank you for sharing, you can be brave but you still need a reminder from time to time, I'm grateful.
I kind of know what it feels like, my mother had breast cancer when I was 20, two weeks before passing a big test to get into engineering school. She didn't tell me until after the results. Parents go through a great deal for us. Hope everything's alright now.
I only get more and more grateful for what my parents have done for me through out the years.
Thanks for reminding me that there is no tomorrow. People seem to take this game for granted, wasting days and lifes on things they don't even like. I am glade you're having a positive attidude, because I have come to realize that being positive in the dark times is one of the toughest things a mans mind can do.
OP points out to us our reality. Life is trying to kill us. Life is 100% fatal. Live as if you are going to die - you are.
I don't have any medical suggestions or recommendations mate, but maybe this post, much like the rest of this thread, shows you support and brotherhood. People will read your words like I have and will want to send you best wishes, good luck and words of inspiration.
Hell, if this only gives you a small smile and a nod then it's done its job. Keep on laughing and living, as one of the other dudes said in this thread, keep a positive attitude. Relevant
Keep fucking rocking on fella.
Thanks for writing this and I admire your bravery.
I am not a doctor but my gut response is to say "you can beat it".
Maybe there is something to "female invincibility" but I have had my mother and grandmother defy all expectations.
OTOH my dad had stage 4 brain cancer so "Boom - head shot" and dead in 3 months.
You seem to be a man who really enjoys life :)
A few days ago, I happened to meet a 12 year old boy who has been living with a transplanted kidney from very early in his life. He has to take medication every day, just to prevent it from being rejected. His trips to hospital are rather frequent... He told that the real strength of a man relies on being able to keep a smile on your face, even on the hardest times.
I'm sorry to read your friends are leaving you... I think it is rather understandable. They are just taking the easy path, and are probably trying to detach from you... Or maybe they never were really friends to begin with. As someone who has dealt with the death of a friend very early (he and his brother were literally killed by their psycho mother, as some kind of revenge... I was in 8th grade...) , I know it is definitely not easy...
Either way, better just forget them, and focus on living the rest of your life (which I hope won't end any time soon) with your family and those who care and are there for you. Do whatever you enjoy and get the best out of life! Stay positive and never give up! You are still young so it is
easierless hard for you to fight cancer. Other people on here already gave great tips :)Keep strong and show cancer what you've got! There is still hope!
Thank you for the nice reply. I assure I won't give up. The replies on this post have been overwhelmingly positive. Haven't been this happy and pumped for weeks. Thank you all.
No problem! Should there be anything else you want to talk about, fell free to say!
Btw, should you ever be feeling down, this is a song I dedicate to you.
look up dr. beck's videos on youtube. you can cure that shit through simple methods bro. at this point you got nothing to lose, so might as well try.
If you're considering treatment that you can actually afford, look in to medical grade cannibis oil. Tons and tons of healing properties. Used to treat cancer for years, but due to its social stigma, it's rarely talked about, and most docs will suggest chemo over it - most docs won't even mention it. Please look into it. Good luck on your journey brother.
Damn, I cried while reading this. I wish I could help you raise funds, I am poor as fuck. I was wondering where do you live man?
" People whom I considered my best friends now do their best to avoid me" can you talk about this more?

Best of luck on your journey, either in this life or in the Beyond. My thoughts are with you.

Edit: prayers are helpful, but so is money. Post your fundraiser if you make one and I'll donate.
Dude. Just buy a flight to Germany, throw away your passport like every fucking illegal is doing and get all the free coverage you want.
Damn OP. I'm no doctor and can't offer you any help in that area. All I can say is that whatever happens, be brave and know that life is just a cycle. Possibly in the next things won't turn out like this. I hope you understand the meaning of what i'm telling you and don't take it the wrong way.
Sorry to hear that man. I read a thread recently about a guy who got IVs of incredibly high doses of Vitamin C and it reversed the cancer until he was completely free of it. I'd look into it.
Just some food for thought, the FDA banned intravenous Vitamin C. We both know the government isn't on our side. http://humansarefree.com/2017/06/fda-quietly-bans-another-cheap-cancer.html
I fucking hate it. If it were possible I'd transfer that cancer over to me, but life's fucking unfair.
It's only after you're facing death that you understand its value. You appreciate everything in life knowing you might die the next week. Life is the will to power. Read some Nietzsche. Enjoy life buddy, even though I know it's easier said than done.
Thanks, but I'm more the Kafka kind of guy. Enjoy yours as long as you can.
Hey man, big respect for handling your situation like you do. I'm going through a similar thing myself but an infection. Anyways, if treatment cost too much i would like to recommend you looking into DMT. It was used by soldiers in russia i believe during ww2 when it was cold as hell to keep them warm. Nowadays its used by bodybuilders and people who want to lose weight. Basically what it does is it uses the carbohydrates you consume as fuel to heat up the body (i think its dynamite) and cancer hates 2 things, not getting fed (the dmt uses all those sugars (carbs) you eat to produce heat so it wont get fed. The second thing it wont like is being warm. I might not remember this post as my pills make me dizzy as hell and english is not my nr1 language. Take care man
I meant to say DNP. sorry
A truly down to earth commentary. I will keep you in my prayers.
Not very relevant, but I just want to say your English is good. Native speaker, and I have to admit I never would have considered your text "elementary." I know it doesn't mean much given the situation, but don't doubt your ability, OP. I wish you the best and hope your remaining days are comfortable.
Don't put your guard down just yet. Hope is the last thing we lose. Never lose hope my man, crazier things have happened. Stay strong and thank you for sharing
Stay strong brother, and may your spirit carry on as you travel to the other side.
Shit, dude, this post brings tears to my eyes. We have the same age, I just realized how short life is, we make big plans for the future and forget that we can die tomorrow crossing the street. I read the entire post, it's really a fucked up situation but it's no good to give you pity. I don't know what you are going through but I know that the only fucking thing you really can control in life is your reaction, how you see the situation, aka your frame. You have a golden opportunity here, the opportunity to really live life, every moment of it. Go do everything that you are afraid of, go do epic things, you don't necessarily need money to do a lot of epic things. You can live more in the months you gave left than people live in their entire life. I am broke as fuck but you you can find a way to raise funds, I will help with what I can, just keep us updated.
Stay strong, brother, live an amazing life.
Very sorry to hear this OP. You have a good outlook and a strong mind, you're a good example for many of us.
I can't even imagine what you're going through right now. Your post explains very well that we were born alone and we have to die alone. And people ignoring you and girls leaving even after knowing you are fighting a deadly disease is more cancerous than the disease itself! These people are representation of what a cancer look like in real life.
But they forget that what goes around comes all the way back around. These people who leave their dear ones in bad times will be left too when they'd need someone the most.
Stay strong, and whatever is left of this life enjoy it !
Real talk. Will try to beat this and face every hardship that comes my way. Got a lot of encouragement and help from people through this post. I really cn't believe this.
Good luck friend. You will beat this. You will be the man you want to be in the future.
I am sorry to hear about your condition fellow red pill brother. Many people live entire lives never knowing the truth and suffer based on blue pill living. The fact you are living while being unplugged makes your life 100 times more valuable then turning 100 and dying next to someone you hated and resented your whole life. I rather live a short time unplugged then a full long life living a lie. I will end with a quote.
“Death smiles at us all; all we can do is smile back.”
― Marcus Aurelius
Mindset can also change everything. If you have the mindset that you are going to die, you will most likely kick the bucket. If you have the mindset of you're gonna live, you will have e a far better chance at surviving. I had a aunt that was working everyday and was as healthy as can be, then was found with cancer at age 50, and they estimated she had it for a year. She went into a state of depression and quit work, thinking she was dying. All the sudden she bacame extremely ill looking, despite the autopsy saying the tumor hadn't grown much at all since she had been diagnosed. A week later, she passed away. Don't be like her
Please give this community to help you financially in this battle. Can you update the OP with more info? I saw you post something about BTC, which is fine but not sure how many people have it. Why won't paypal work?
Please do not send any bitcoin/money until the mods are able to confirm his identity and situation. I don't want anybody here to be scammed. I will reply to your comment if/when I get verification.
Don't throw in the towel yet brotha. My boy beat stage 4 lymphoma at 32 years old. He told me the key to his survival was never giving in. He went to work thru the chemo and lived his life like nothing was gonna beat him without a fight. He swore not to give in to the depression.
He's fully recovered now, back to working and spinning more plates than me. He's my biggest inspiration in life. Goes out of his way to cheer me up when I'm down. He's a huge proponent of visualization. Just go hard. Be tough and stay as positive as you possibly during this tough time. Easier said than done, but just try for all of us. We're counting on you and we love you.
Great insight man. The least I can do is tell you this post influenced me and I will try to live differently because of it. My close friend had stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (in his mid 20s) and he is 100% totally fine now. Please get fucking help man. Trust me, you can. I'm dedicating my night out tonight to you!
What type of cancer if you don't mind me asking
Thank you for being real and sharing this with us. This really changed my perspective on life as a red pilled man. Keep on fighting brother. We are all praying/wishing you the best. A comment above said something about the mind being a powerful thing. I truly believe that. Don't give up.
Look into big doses of intravenous vitamin C. Cheap as hell with evidence for being effective on blood cancers.
Don't give up. I survived malignant melanoma. My brother survived 1 and a half years after being diagnosed with hodgekins blood cancer.
OP you motherfucker you better keep fighting the good fight, don't know where you're from but you can open a gofundme or whatever way to receive donations specifically for travel expenses to go to wherever treatment is most promising and accessible, people in here are more than willing to help you in that first step and hell even in your following steps until remission.IF there is nothing else share your fucking info for western union, you're not in the US anyway so no feminazis or white knights will be coming after you for browsing TRP.
I understand you don't want pity, but sometimes we have to ask for help, there is always a price to be paid for everything, if you have it in you to fight it then don't be afraid of making yourself look bad, do what you must to survive.
My father lost to cancer but he fought that bitch for as long as he could until I grew up and could take care of myself, and he was an old fucker at 60+ already at that time, there is no way at your age you can do worse than him, don't let this bullshit take your life, live for a better death.
All the best and if there's anything another random rpiller like me can do to help, let me know.
I don't even know if you'll see this comment, but good luck man. I hope you beat the hell out of it. You wrote some valuable words and your second bullet point really hit home with me, thank you.
Major part in curing cancer is psychological, anything you dreamed of do it now and don't hesitate, take the risk and hopefully by then your cancer is cured.
Be well.
Do you feel peace? Do you fear when the time comes? Has it set you free? Holy shit man, the thought of dying is unsoluble in my consciousness because I'm young like you, a little bit more young actually. I know it's worth two shits but I hope you get better, man!
Edit the post with a Bitcoin Cash address and I (and probably many others) will gladly donate (Bitcoin is almost unusable for small payments these days due to fees)
Please do not send any bitcoin/money until the mods are able to confirm his identity and situation. I don't want anybody here to be scammed. I will reply to your comment if/when I get verification.
Sorry to hear about your predicament, wish I could give you some advice but have none. I guess just try and live your life as an example of how someone who is dying from cancer should live, set an example for others to follow. At the end of it I would think you want to look back and be proud of how you conducted yourself.
I hear you on the friends disappearing, that's normal unfortunately. But sucks up the ass. Never had cancer, but have had some horrible experiences, and people you thought were friends just disappear, apparently some people only want to be friends with "fun" people. People I knew for years just vanished. Even family can be the same way, trust me I know, so count yourself lucky if you have supportive family.
Can we organise a fund raising? I don't have much but I'd like to put some money forward for a TRP'er, to help in some way

Is there any particular reason you're unwilling to divulge the country you're in?
I think he is from Ballkan.
Hey man sucks to be going through this.
Nothing of much value to add really, just wish you the best and God bless you!
Hope you make it man. Good luck, sincerely hope you come out of this unscathed.
Dude, I don't know how it works where you live, but if you are in an eastern European country, go to a country in western Europe with universal healthcare.
Consider veganism/alkaline diet to promote an alkaline body (which is not hospitable to cancer) and medical cannabis. Good luck in your fight I believe in you.
Hey man! Be strong! I don't know what to tell you now, I'm just a broke student who working hard to run my own business, I have no money either bitcoin to donate, but I wish you all the best, wish you have courage and faith to overcome adversities.
How long did the doctor give you to live, try to take a trip to Mexico and so hookers and cocaine
I am sorry to hear you have cancer but more sorry because you have a fucking negative attitude towards it.
Reading some comments from people trying to help like offering you a job and telling you to make a go fund me... I've noted that you are making excuses after excuses just to give up and not even try.
Please just start thinking that you will go through this and anything is possible, I Am praying for you mate.
Appreciate the prayers, got a lot of good advice and help from people here. I'm overjoyed I don't even feel alone anymore. Thank you for your honest reply.
No problem bro, anything you need just PM me.
I'll be that guy.
Post proof that you have being diagnosed with lymphoma cancer.
It is only fair since people are giving you collectively large sums of money.
Put your reddit name next to the paper that shows your diagnosis of the cancer and that it was 3 months ago.
People are capable of being honest and of being dishonest, posting proof determines which one you're being right now.
Just so people don't give me shit, would you agree that just because a person online tells you they have a condition, that they must be telling the truth?
Man, the non existing level of questioning in this post is worrying, a bit of fucking critical thinking in here, regardless of whether the guy actually has cancer or not, you don't just take someone's word for it lol, especially online.
That's because OP never really asked for help in his post, it was an afterthought. And it seems he sent you proof. Hopefully all is legit. He seems legit. I trust him. Whatever. Hope you get through it OP i'll donate up too
Hey, thus far no one has given me anything ! Plenty of posivity tho. Anyone wanting proof can just pm me. If it was allowed I'd doxx myself on here right now, no problem whatsoever.
Thanks for proving it, and I understand if you feel that I was rude, but it's internet so someone claiming they have something is not proof unless they actually provide evidence for it, which you have done.
Just post the link that you PM'd me in your post description, that way people have no doubts that you're telling the truth!
Good luck for your battle!
I have removed this post and BTC address until he verifies through the mods. I don't want anybody here to be scammed. I will reply to your comment if/when I get verification.
So, you planning on doing anything big before it's all over?
Would love to but if I can't even afford the treatment what big thing can I do haha ! Only thing I can do,which was one of my dreams, is climb a mountain. Not a lot to do around here.
Take out a loan to do your dreams. You know you won't be able to pay off the loan, but the bank doesn't know that
You can't take a loan in this fucking country if you're a freelancer. Would have done it if it was possible.
Take all your money and travel to a country where the economy is way worse compared to the USD and live like a millionaire
Stay strong mate.
How did you find out you got cancer? What did you notice that was different ?
Nothing at first. I was feeling pain in my sciatic nerve. Visited a neurologist who made me do a scanner (don't know if it's the appropriate word). That's when he found it, made me do a biopsy and some blood tests. It was completely unrelated to the sciatic nerve, just a hell of a coincidence.
In Germany we say to such a situation "having luck in misfortune". The sooner you diagnose cancer the better the prognosis. You found the pill, you found your cancer, you know your Nietzsche, shit is not going to end because of meager 8000$. You are destined to live and kick ass, motherfucker. After you overcome this shit test of life you'll be omnipotent.
Damn that's crazy. If you find a way to receive donations in your country (gofundme, paypal, etc.) just fucking dox yourself and post here again with your info. I'll definitely send money your way and I'm sure many others here would too.
I don't know what to say man, other people offered to help too. Haven't felt this happy in a long time. Western union and similar is the only way I know of. Don't have any problem doxxing myself, I don't know if it's against the rules tho. Any other subreddit that allows this ? Where I can doxx myself and link to it here ?
Message the mods and ask if you can post a thread to raise money, you could show them identity and medical documents if they need proof and info.
I'm sure you can do it here given your situation. Sometimes it auto deletes here but for the most part the moderators are the ones who do the deleting, unless I'm wrong. But I don't see what's the worst that can happen, honestly.
Go lookup what Ethereum is, start a crowdfunding campaign on the platform, use the money to treat your disease.

Go on an alkaline diet bro and research dr.sebi
Dont know OP diet but There was a story on a guy who got rid of his cancer by going vegan.
Your cancer was mentioned as being responsive to a new and very promising cancer therapy that was just approved by the FDA to significant fanfare:
http://www.businessinsider.com/fda-approves-novartis-car-t-cancer-treatment-2017-8
OP, I recommend you ingest a massive amount of weed and CBDs. It's worth a shot.
No joke here, you need to research Rick Simpson man. If you're at a loss of funds and out of alternatives, you have nothing to lose.
Rick Simpson's concentrations using high, high dosages of THC is not a cure for cancer necessarily, but it will put your body in the position to be healed when combined with vast improvements in diet and nutrition. That is 60% of the battle right there, you HAVE to have a very healthy diet and this will require a lot of work on your part to figure out the right foods to put into your body to help your cells. The next 20% of the battle is with exercise, RSO will improve your mental health and assist in motivating you to feel stronger in order to do resistance training (not just yoga, you need stretching combined with strong muscle development). You need strong cells and organs in order to fight the cancer in your body thats been slowly destroying your cells, a 90 day treatment combined with other factors will rebuild your body and your cells. But it won't cure you.
The last 20% of the battle would be some form of traditional cancer treatment (I won't even begin to speak here, I know very little but have researched this topic in the past and am amazed at the amount of info out there) such as chemo or whatever other traditional cancer treatments are out there. But your body will be stronger with the other factors to improve your likeliness to fight that last part.
There are hundreds and hundreds of reddit threads about RSO, take the day to do just a little bit of research. Don't let anyone tell you this is pseudo-science either.
Israel has been investing a ton of government backed money, research and resources into this for years and years and is showing results. Reach out to companies in Israel in this industry, seriously Israel is miles and miles ahead of any country in the world on research. There is an entire conference every year called CannaTech that focuses on this, Israel has an entire division in the ministry of health that focuses on Cannabis as a path for treatment. Israel doesn't have obstacles for research, year on year there are groundbreaking results on how it can help.
Start with this company ( http://en.imcagro.co.il/ ), but lookup CannaTech ( https://www.canna-tech.co/ ) and figure out every single speaker, company who was at this event. I would email everyone you can in every company and tell them your situation, say you're looking for treatment, you're out of options due to lack of funds. These people are in this industry to save lives! They may be extremely generous people. You want to be put in touch with Israeli doctors or even ones in your country to see if you can seek help, and that alternatives are not an option in your country. Or you want to be pointed in the right direction. Medical industry in Israel is highly advanced, and its not profit seeking either. I'm not totally sure the options available to non-citizens, but who knows, its worth a try.
Here are some articles on the research coming out of Israel:
https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2017-04-11/israel-is-a-global-leader-in-marijuana-research
https://www.leafly.com/news/science-tech/the-medical-minute-israeli-study-finds-anti-cancer-potential-in-c
http://nocamels.com/2017/08/israeli-meiri-killing-cancer-cannabis/
You have to try alternative options if you can't afford treatment, and you have to start ASAP at understanding how to rebuild your body. You can take very real steps today to helping yourself out, the longer you wait the worse its going to get as your body breaks down, you're too young to give up! I wish you the best of luck.
Thanks for that m8,
The research indicating marijuana affect on tumor growth is actually a very big deal and does not get the publicity it deserves
Its absolutely ridiculous. Fuckin tragic. Societies placing profits and power over treatment of disease.
I'm praying for you in Yahushua name brethren. If you follow the whole truth past MGTOW you'll find God is real. There are natural remedies you could employ too. Let YAH have mercy
Have you tried Intermittent fasting in the past? If so, maybe you can be prepared to do longer than 16 hour fasts and maybe do something more drastic? Say, 3 day fasts a week until you can go even longer fasting with only water as your source?
I've read about how people cured their cancer by doing week or month long water fasts. Everyone is different though.
I wish you the best of luck bro. I hope you get the treatment and help you need.
If you're really desperate go on a three week fast. Eat a healthy meal 500 Cal or lower with a multivitamin per day. Worth a try anyway. Or you could just do a straight juice fast for a shorter duration, like a week or less. I've read several cases of fasting reversing and killing cancer cells. Throw in CBD (also anti-cancer properties, also great for the pain) oil on top of that and you may recover without even needing insurance. Obviously I am not a medical expert but alternative medicine is called alternative for a reason, it works for many, but others it does not. Try at your own risk. I hope you figure something out and get well man.
There is a study that showed the sulforaphane from eating broccoli sprouts caused cancer growth rate to cut in half. That is a cheap practical thing you could try to buy a few more months.
You can cure cancer through diet. If you want more details message me
Honestly dude... it sucks what you're going through but I don't feel bad for you. You seem like you lived a decent life and we all used to die at 25 before medical technology and modern civilization. It's cool to see you're not on here begging for sympathy though... hate it when people do that. But this post made me think of a video on YouTube: Floyd May weather meets 10 year old kid fighting cancer. Gotta get back to work but best of luck dude
Will check it out, thx for the reply.
My pleasure man. I'll keep you in my thoughts.
I hope you get healthy and get to live the prime age of a masculine man.
In case you don't, you will have a painful death... what is your stance on suicide?
Why is no ones first language english on here?
