Excruciating Back Pain - Alan | Multiple Myeloma | The Patient Story

Alan S. was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare blood cancer, after months of excruciating back pain. He describes barely being able to breathe due to the pain.

I live in Arkansas and have had MGUS since 2014. The myeloma research facility is awesome. My doctor called me yesterday and told me she wanted me to go see oncology. Not looking forward to the bone marrow biopsy. I go to the VA now for my medical care. Praying for a good outcome. Thank you for sharing your story.

May G-d keep you safe.

That was definitely the Lord confirming to you that your provisioning comes from and through Him. Praise The Lord! So refreshing to hear praise going to the Lord

My Dad had multiple myeloma. He lived to see his 80th birthday. He was an avid hunter, fished in the Florida Keys, scuba diver.

My wife just relapsed. She’s strong and ready to fight and i try to support her as best i can. It’s hard and life has just changed for us.

You told a harrowing story. My mother was just diagnosed with terminal colon cancer. We will try our utmost to make her final months as rich as possible. You have more life to live. Good luck to you and your family...

My late fiance lived 5 years which was the lifespan back in 2009. He had a bone marrow transplant and was in the hospital 5 weeks. His multiple myeloma turned into leukemia. He died cancer free but the last treatment killed him. God bless you. People are living longer now with MM!

[@MrPAULONEAL]

That's because the treatment also kills healthy cells.

I know what it’s like for my spouse to have had Multiple Myeloma. He passed away from it 6/29/21. You are very Lucky to be in Remission. I took my husband to treatment for 2 years, 4 or 5 days a week. It was a long hard journey.

From someone who lost a child to Leukemia, I love how God turned this to good. Just as he did for me.

Thank you for sharing.💕

[@melaniedunn2791]

God is good. All the time. All the time, God is good! God has given me that kind of peace before - above the peace that I’ve experienced since giving my life to Jesus Christ. I’m so glad that you found Him! Even though it was in a tragedy that sounds horrific!!! Let’s just say you are a much stronger man than I am! (And I’m not a man, but still!!) I was a baby when I had one broken rib so I can’t even imagine. So thankful that God was all wrapped up in this! I was in your wife’s shoes in 2020 when my husband was diagnosed with lung cancer on a Monday, and later that week, also with prostate cancer. Not a metastasis. Two different cancers. I know she is so proud for you. She is a strong woman, too. God bless you and your family.

My bone marrow biopsy was horrendous. I was surprised - bc I have a high pain tolerance level. I have MPN. I can't have one without sedation. God Bless 🇺🇸 and much luck. 🙏

Thank you for your story, you came up on my feed and I’m in pain, pretty bad pain in my low back and coughing is scary painful. I know it probably means nothing but I know now to be grouchy is a waste of time. Thanks again

what stage were you?

[@JennifertxCarnivore]

I have said this before- but I truly feel that colon cancer is NOT silent at all! Our bodies are warning us up to that point in stages when people eat plant based foods, processed or whole (raw or cooked) - doesn’t matter which type you digest- does the same to your colon! These are stages that our colon warns us that we are damaging it before we hit colon cancer: Stage 1: IBS symptoms- (Cramping, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, extended bellies!) Stage 2 if you ignore stage one: Diverticulitis, diverticulosis, crones, celiac, ulcers, polyps, leaky gut, lactose, and so on. Stage 3: colon cancer! We need to be listening to our bodies! Doctors say it’s normal to have IBS- but NO it is not! It’s not normal at all- it is a warning that if we ignore, our guts will get damaged over time! There is no silence with colon cancer- your body has done so much to warn you but you just didn’t listen! Remove plants from your diet and go the human ancestral way of eating- the carnivore lifestyle! It is not a fad- it’s is the human way of eating!

[@matthewthomasjames]

You can’t be referencing this patient’s story. He didn’t have colon cancer.

[@JennifertxCarnivore]

@@matthewthomasjames here ya go! I meat to post this- Cancer is caused from eating a plant based diet with little to no lean meat. Plant sugars and natural plant toxins damage the mitochondria! Mitochondria need to be healthy to control bad cells and remove them, like cancer cells. But if mitochondrial are damaged they can’t remove bad cells, they can’t stop them from growing, and can’t stop them from spreading. Watch Dr. Thomas Seyfried on how cancer is a metabolic disease! People using carnivore to heal and reverse cancer.

Maybe you could show the animals you hunt some peace now and stop hunting them. They deserve to live as much as you do.

[@charlenecarey4135]

What is your problem buddy about the hunting. I'm an animal lover., It breaks my heart to think somebody's hunting animals but this is not the time. That's not what you need when you're Fighting cancer. I had kidney cancer. And your kind of comment is not what people need, Shame on you
