The Faces Of An Urban Viking Cancer Warrior

 Cancer’s not an easy Beast to slay.

Sadly, I know this too well having been battling it for seven years now. In and out of remission more times than I expected.

Following are a few photos of me at various stages of my battle.

This is me this evening.

January 29th, 2019 strapped into my radiation cage for my first of 80 experimental Radical Radiation treatments in a twenty day session.

November 2018

The Battle begins.

March 2019

They had to extract all my teeth because the targetted Radiation was destroying them.

Late 2019

I can feel the changes in my body.

Spring 2020

Removed a section of my bowel.

I don’t want to think about that experience.

Autumn 2020

I have no religion but I have Faith

Skipping ahead to Spring 2021

Abscessed Feeding Tube

Summer 2021 Home for a visit after 33 weeks in Princess Margaret Cancer Center

Spring 2022 Have a cigar Warrior. You deserve it!

2020 My beard fell off shortly after this pic was taken. First day I was allowed to go outside for air.

Summer 2023 My beard had fallen off in 2020 and it is finally growing back. My two soul mates by my side.

Things getting worrisome!

So much for eating food. Trach airway installed. 7 years later and I still have it.

March 7, 2021. My spleen exploded.

52 Staples

My Irish Temper, good days, bad days!

2022 I weighed 67 pounds.

Bloated from massive doses of dexamethasone.

Woe is me!

These are merely a few of what my body and mind has been through since I was diagnosed on October 28th, 2018.

Cancer is a horrific disease.

Cancer hurts.

I quickly learned that “Positivity” is Cancer’s “nemesis”

I believe that I have survived this far by making my positivity the main priority of my life.

It has been a seven year nightmare and I am still fighting to live each day.

I will NEVER allow this Beast to ruin my day!

After all I am not only a “realist” by faith, I am also “The Original Urban Viking”

And my Valhalla is not ready for me yet.

LIVE IN THE NOW. FOR NOW

  “ Look up into the Universe and show your perception of your God that you are grateful and humbled for this gift of existence, of life it very self. “ Remember, we are merely mortal and our existence is an ever changing blueprint of the pathway we choose to walk at this moment of our lives. We will face many choices and we walk many pathways   as we wander through this road we call “ life “. “ We are genetically spiritually nomadic. “ Forever seeking the “ why “, “ where ” and “when”, often neglecting the “ here “, “ now ” and “ why not “ The past has left us. The future is yet to arrive. In reality, we live right now. Enjoy the  “now”. Think fondly about the past. Have positive hope for tomorrow. And ……….. “ LIVE ” in the now Before it fades I nto the past. (LDV 06/29/2025) “Positivity is Cancer’s nemesis.”

Society's Like Israel Are Why I Lost My Belief In Religion

  People who “ STAND ” with society’s such as “ ISRAEL ” are why I firmly do not believe IN “ RELIGIONS “. 4200 ‘Gangs’ with 4200  ‘Ideologies’. They are nothing but “ GANGS ” and/or “ CULTS “. Take the  ‘VATICAN’  for an example.   Birth place of the  ‘MAFIA’. Or how about getting a drink of ‘ KOOLAID’  at ” JONESTOWN’? Perhaps a barbeque at  ‘WACO’?6 I hear that ‘ GAZA’  is a ‘ BOMB ‘  place. In my opinion ‘ Israel ‘ and the ‘ Israeli’  culture top the list. The most ‘ unholy ‘ of scum living in the ‘ holiest ‘ of lands. l was born and beaten an ‘ RC ‘. A ‘ Rotten Catholic ‘. (Some refer to it as  ‘ Roman Catholic’) I believe in “ FAITH “. How can you call yourself ‘ CHRISTIAN ‘ with thirty thousand slaughtered children laying at your feet? INNOCENT BABIES? Or claim that 3 year olds are terrorist operatives? So, yes, I am not a religious person. Remember Campers, there were  ‘Miracles’  happening all over the place ...

“The Rise Of America’s Ursprünglich Reich”.

  Musk is dangerous and is definitely a “ wolf in sheep’s clothing “. Elon “ Teslaboy ” Musk His warped intelligence and well known use of ketamine has enabled him to turn his greatest fan,  Donald J. Trump , into his personal political puppet. Trump believes that he is controlling Musk. However it is quite the contrary! DICTATOR DONALD  TRUMP Trump is blinded by Musk’s wealth. He believes that by befriending him he will reach the same level of riches. I strongly doubt that will ever be a reality. Yes, Trump is often referred to as a “ brilliant ” businessman. But is he really? Trump’s riches come from a very long list of bankruptcies and shifty business transactions. He is well known for simply refusing to pay his debts. He also owes numerous Russian Oligarchs billions of dollars for failed Trump Tower projects. Including the shady Moscow Towers project and the Trump Towers Toronto. The latter which was bankrupt before completion. Which lead to Trump obtaining financing ...
