I have stage 3 rectal cancer. Could use your help | Page 2

Ripamaru · 2019-05-09T02:40:29-07:00

I'm a longtime member here. Lifetime 9er fanatic.Been a while since I was a regular poster but always a constant lurker. Some of you may remember me from here or from our one time breakaway forum ninercaphell. I'm fighting for my life. I have no savings left and my disabled mother is my only real family left. I started a GoFundMe page to help raise some rent and utility money to help keep me afloat during this trial.I could use any bit of help I can get. Prayers included! A few of the best people I've ever met online or off came from this very board over the years and I know there are many others here I haven't got to know as personally. Thanks in advance for any support you care to show. Ripa I am 34 years old and I have stage 3 rectal cancer. I completed 28 rounds of radiation last month and am scheduled to have surgery late this month. This is my 2nd time around with colorectal cancer. This time the mass is far enough down that they will likely need to remove the rectum entirely and attach a permanent ostomy bag. I am seeking help to keep a roof over my head and lights on long enough to recover from surgery and chemotherapy and return to work. I'm not great with words. I can only say that any help given will be put to good use and nobody will appreciate it more than I will. Anyone who wishes to help in any way other than a cash donation can email me at ripamaru96@gmail.com. I will take any help you have to offer and I will personally thank each and every one of you no matter what the help consists of. Thank you and God bless you!

Good luck brother. Cancer is an awful awful thing. I've lost many people in my life due to it and it scares me to hell.

Hoping for the best for you with the surgery and any further treatment!

Our prayers go out to you. For what it's worth, and I'm not doctor, but my friends wife just beat breast cancer but switching to 100% green diet. It's not fun but not a bad idea to eat just spinach, greens, salad, veggies. Goal is to turn your body as alkaline as possible. Cancer doesn't do well in alkaline environment. But if it saves your life, totally worth it.

My stepmom beat urinary tract cancer only changing her diet. Plant Paradox is the stuff. I lost 50lbs in 4 months, no exercise and felt great. I am working out with that diet now and seeing rapid results. It's a restrictive diet but has lots of science backing it.
