Ongoing battle with Malt Lymphoma...I can wear contacts again! 🤔😮

[@bshizzle81]

I love your video. I am MALT Lymphoma patient. Mine was in my salivary gland. Love your positive attitude.

[@rdumas174]

Hey what symptoms did you have of the cancer in your salivary gland??

[@AdventureswithJane]

Good stuff. Glad fo see the progress. Irene beat cancer, omg, 20 years ago! It can be done. On a side note, hope we can finally meet up next season. Looking forward to getting back on the road. Safe travels, be well. 😊 -Mark

[@ChasinSimplicity]

I agree with all that stuff! I keep thinking about Irene beating it. My dad had cancer twice. My older brother had it twice my aunt three times. We have all beat it! As awful as cancer is, this is the time to get it.

[@CadeScott]

Great to see you! 👀Thanks for the update, that's really a good idea about the log that you can refer back to. Excited to meet up hopefully later this week!!

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Yes! I am very excited to see you guys again!

[@KetogenicKim]

You have been heavy on my heart ☺️. Prayers have been lifted. Thank you so much for the update.

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Thank you Keto Kim! It has been difficult to even watch youtube somedays let alone make a quick video. Thank you for watching!

[@dkrhymes]

Thank you so much for this video hope you get back to 100%

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Working hard towards it thank you so much. It has been a long journey.

[@tinabeane]

Great to have a video update from you. Amazing the swelling has gone down so fast and cool you can wear contacts again. Wonderful positive attitude!! :)

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Thanks Tina! I’m very very lucky!

[@rhondalyn100]

Sounds like great news! Hope you continue to grow in strength and best wishes for continued progress in health...

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Thank you and I have every plan to do so! Appreciate you watching as always!

[@pattihawks8514]

Gastain, I saw you on the WonderLife interview, and came to check out your videos, watching the one from July, to begin. Hope your handling second round better than first one. It’s a terrible thing, Cancer! It took my Dad, and two brothers. Also, heart disease and Parkinson’s, which took my Mom and a brother and a sister. I was a nurse, before become ill myself. I can relate somewhat to your fatigue, as I have chronic fatigue, which goes alongside Lupus and Fibromyalgia, RA, and depression. These are in no way comparable to cancer, just a daily struggle to manage, for past 20 years. No matter how much I rest and sleep, I am drained, or I get a bit of energy and overdo, back to square one. Prayer and gratitude have helped, along with a slew of medications I dislike! Must have sense of humor about life and the illness, or go crazy! Prayers and positive thoughts your way! ♥️🙏✌️🦋

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Thank you so much. You are right on the money with fatigue. I keep in my mind that my body is a small battery right now. It doesn’t take much effort to drain it. So I do the dishes and then immediately sit down on the couch. Then I’ll get up and do another small task and then sit down. It has helped a lot for me. Had the third cycle a couple weeks ago. It’s getting worse and harder. I hope I outlast the treatments! I’ve read some on lupus it’s awful stuff. Best wishes and thank you for being empathetic. I have a new understanding of people dealing with health issues

[@pattihawks8514]

Chasin' Simplicity ♥️🙏✌️🦋

[@pattihawks8514]

Oops, your name I got it wrong! Sorry!!!

Thank you so much. 🙏🏻

Glad to know you're doing well and with a good prognosis. You must be feeling less anxious about it now, the chemo is working. I'm writing this from my friend's apartment in Denver. We're crashing here while I build out the van which should be done in about another 4-5 days. Then we're hitting the road and since our ultimate destination is Glacier NP, we need to travel westerly and northerly. We're planning a stay in the Ashley National Forest out your way. Don't know exactly what day we'll be there. Going to take in the rodeo at Greeley first. If you'd like to meet up let me know what days you're available and I'll work around it if possible. Happy trails!

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Would love to. Unfortunately I’m heading back first part of next week to yucky Florida for round two! That sounds amazing I can’t wait to see the build out!

[@vangazmicvoyage5077]

@@ChasinSimplicity Next time around then. I can't wait to see the finished build too but the work is tediously slow and a $335 repair job to the van just before we departed took a bite out of the build budget so I'm having to substitute lesser quality materials. I also can't wait to edit and post the footage I got of abandoned farmsteads in Kansas but that will have to wait. Good luck with round two. Spent ten days camping and scuba diving the Florida Keys one summer. The heat and humidity was unbearable.

[@ChasinSimplicity]

I’m a west coast person so all that humidity once you are east of the Rockies is really unbearable to me. Florida is the worst! I can’t wait to see the videos and the build. I keep considering my next adventure machine. Not sure what to get yet.

[@BlaneysChannel]

I'm no doctor but that sounds like a really good report. I'm glad to hear it. Hang in there Buddy, you will punch it and leave it on the ground.👍👍👍

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Thanks I appreciate it! Back to Florida in a few days. How are you doing down there? Catch more fish? Just had some spec

[@BlaneysChannel]

@@ChasinSimplicity Just hanging in there. Driving Uber and staying out of the Sun mostly. Thanks for asking.

[@ChasinSimplicity]

No problem. Are you living in st Pete?

[@BlaneysChannel]

Chasin' Simplicity I live on the Tampa side of the bay. A small town named Ruskin. It is on U.S. 41.

[@laurencegoldman4639]

Have you heard about Gerson Therapy? Good results with Lymphoma. I had a Hodgkin's L scare last November with negative biopsy, but nodules present. I've been doing Gerson for last 2 1/2 months. Nodes reducing and feel great.

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Glad to hear of your success. I have not heard of that but will look into it thanks!

[@nealsalz7777]

I'm so glad you're doing good! If you have time come up to Bryce!

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Would love to, my time and ability to travel very far are a bit limited right now but maybe on my next trip back!

[@h.bsfaithfulservant4136]

'Gastain the Great' :-) Has a better ring to it than say, 'Peter the Great' !! It's great to know you are making progress, and generous of you to think of how your experience may help others. Keep up the good work :-)

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Thank you HB, I already have received messages of others that are going through something similar, it is nice to know social media has positive aspects. I hope you are well across the pond!

[@GatorLife57]

GOD bless ! Ty4sharing Glad you are healing. Wolf🐺 🙏👍

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Thank you for watching, I appreciate it!

[@HobbsVentures]

Good thoughts your way my homie

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Thank you I hope all is well. Can I door dash some food my way? :D

[@penguinchick6563]

Sounds like you will be back to normal soon WOOHOO! ✌🐧

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Thanks PC. I hope so! The chemo will take many months after I’m done to be me me. However, I think I’ll be better than before as I really believe this has been growing in me for many years now.

[@penguinchick6563]

Chasin' Simplicity most likely it has, and if you had not seen a dr. could have not gone as well...I would have only gone if I had pain...did you have any? They say most cancers don't cause pain. Scary that it can kill you without being painful!. The chart you started sounds like a fantastic idea...I WILL remember it for me or anyone I know, tjank you! ✌🐧

[@ChasinSimplicity]

No pain. Literally not a bit of pain. Cancer is simply a group of cells growing uncontrollably. Their dna is damaged so they don’t stop growing where the rest of your cells know just how long your arms need to be. How big your nose needs to be etc. so it just started growing and filling in all the little spaces it could find in my head until I started to see it. Scary and crazy. I’m very very lucky. I’m glad the chart idea might help someone you know. I’ve got it ready for round two and I plan on staying on top of the symptoms so I can have the best life as I beat this!

[@cabbking]

😋🌞☀️ Sending good thoughts and hopeful feelings.

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Much appreciated thank you!

[@tammyhesler1363]

Did you have light sensitivity?

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Hi there. Yes a little. But I have that still even in remission

[@vickibrain8959]

Hey, several people have had this on the FB Malt Lymphoma page. Have you checked it out? Also, where are you going for treatment? I am experiencing this in the conjunctiva.

[@ChasinSimplicity]

Hi Vicki. I just joined that page. I’m being treated at advent health in Orlando. A really great team of doctors and staff there. I have been very happy. Treatments aren’t easy on me but I’m slogging through!
