Randy Neatherlin: Stage 4 esophageal cancer survivor.

After being diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer and was told that there was little that could be done, Randy Neatherlin was able to swallow with a drastic reduction in pain, after receiving about three weeks of treatment from Dr. Chen and Seattle Integrative Cancer Center.

Radiation followed by immunotherapy and chemotherapy

[@alissaharris8552]

Please reachout my husbands just be diagnosed stage 4 .. what treatment are you having?

[@djhigh392]

​@alissaharris8552 I did radiation treatment for 12 days straight then started chemotherapy and immunotherapy every two weeks for 3 years. Now I'm on chemotherapy and immunotherapy doing maintenance doses every 3 weeks. All the best wishes for your husband, its a fight worth fighting.

I am wondering how this guy is doing or if he is still around? I was diagnosed with inoperable stage 4 esophageal cancer August of 2017. 75 total chemo treatments, one recurrence, a month of chemo radiation, and finally surgery in August of 2020. I am still here and currently in remission as of April 2021.

If anyone is going to have their Esophagus removed I highly recommend watching the series of videos on the surgery and recovery on the channel Unboxing Cancer with Me. It is very informative on what to expect. He filmed himself everyday in the hospital.

[@richardallen468]

I was diagnosed with stage III Esophageal cancer over 4 years ago. I totally agree with most of what you state. I underwent 6 weeks of daily high dose Radiation, concurrently with weekly chemo. So I followed my then Oncologist’s dictate, as concerned treatment regimen. Along with being told to rest, watch TV, sleep when my body told me, and take a handful of drugs to ensure that the side effects were kept at bay. I saw many people with other forms of cancer at radiation and chemo, who had resigned to the idea that the end was imminent. Basically wanting sympathy, whilst angry for being inflicted with cancer. Oddly enough the ones who appeared most afraid of dying, and angry for being “cut down” earlier than they expected, were the religious ones. This stuck me as odd, since they state their “god” is looking after them and loves them! Not being a Theist, I of course held no such views. Also no one can be blamed or held responsible except me. I also felt that I was not ready to die, I viewed the idea that the 18 month mortality rate was over 90%, as the odds, just like a gambler does. The figures are just an estimate using historical data, compiled by actuaries. I saw no reason to follow their estimates, similar to your Recipe analogy, recipes are just someone’s else’s opinion on what happens if you use certain ingredients. My basic thinking was, if you think that you are going to die, then the chances are that you will. With limited Psychological knowledge, I see that often, for example, if someone thinks they will have a car accident, they invariably do, they are foreseeing an accident as an inevitable action, therefore whilst driving a near call becomes an accident, they were expecting it, so didn’t make any avoidance manoeuvre. Following a recipe they have been told will produce the outcome they expect. After almost 4 years, of neglecting to follow the recipe to its culmination, my cancer began expanding. Making swallowing again very difficult. I had received 55 endoscopies over the last 4 years to maintain my food conduit, this was closing rapidly. With extreme luck, the foremost surgeon in robotic esophagectomy procedures, is located within 5 miles of home. 7 hours on the table, I now no longer have an Esophagus, it was removed and replaced with my stomach in 2 sections, in my chest, plus plenty of internal plumbing remodelling. Do not follow a recipe for an outcome you do not want! Make your own rendering for a more palatable outcome.

How. What fantastic news!

[@cedricworthingtonbroadaxe2287]

I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Esophageal Cancer back in August 2015. It was the worst news I'd ever had in my life; made ever worse as the Doctor started explaining what they'd be cutting out of me. At the end of the appointment, I thanked him for his concern, explained that as a 60yr old ex-soldier I'd little fear of death; and would much prefer to meet the Good Lord standing tall, rather than having been carved on like a joint in what would likely be a vain hope to avoid death anyhow (40% of those diagnosed with this are dead within the year, and 85% within three years even with the treatment ! ). I thus shook his hand, said goodbye and went home to get my affairs in order. That said …. None of us want to die, so I'd spent a lot of time on the Internet investigating exactly what it was that I'll got; and what alternative 'treatment' was available. The most interesting was that mentioned in the articles listed below, which basically said cancer is actually very similar to Scurvy. Both are caused by chronic vitamin deficiencies; and both can be cured simply by dosing up on the vitamin lacked. We all know Scurvy was caused by lack of Vitamin C, and was eradicated once the Royal Navy started handing out lime juice …. BUT !!! according to Nazi Research in the 1940s, cancer's caused in exactly the same way. Apparently the body uses Vitamin B17 to turn off the natural healing mechanism, once the jobs done. If however …. the Vitamin B17 required is not available, the natural cell division associated with all/any healing simply continues unabated; leading first to a growth, then a tumour; and ultimately death. Having sold my house, arranged for a funeral etc …. I moved in with one of my daughters; and with absolutely nothing to lose, I began eating almonds, walnuts, apricot kernels etc …. by the fistful, whilst awaiting that 'Last Trumpet Call'. My problems swallowing seemed to ease within weeks, and as time went on; I began to think I might be lucky ? Then, in the summer of this year, I began to get bronchial problems and assumed the bill for my lack of treatment was coming due. My daughter's Doctor agreed, and sent me for an immediate chest X-Ray at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth. Result ? The only trace of my cancer was the scar tissue left on my esophagus where it had been. I WAS CANCER FREE !!!! (and a prescription cured the bronchial problem within days.) Every word above is the literal truth. I've posted this in the hope that others in a similar situation to my own five years ago might enjoy the same good fortune that I did …. Best regards Cedric.

@matthew valerio Simple answer:- Yes totally serious. If you don't wish to accept this truth however ? That's obviously your choice.

[@cedricworthingtonbroadaxe2287]

@matthew valerio I also have a hiatus hernia, which is what allows the acid to leak out from my gullet and cause the damage which developed into an Esophageal Cancer. That cancer developed to a size which was preventing me from swallowing anything but liquid/liquified food; which is why I initially consulted the Doctor. His recommendations were horrendous:- An operation to remove my gullet, esophagus, voice box and some of the back of my tongue, after which I was to be pumped full of radiation for good measure ! As mentioned above, I refused his offer and started eating almonds, walnuts, apricot kernels etc …. by the fistful. These things are full of Vitamin B17, which I truly believe cured my cancer.

I really did enjoy these videos, I know that may sound barbaric, but they are not. Life is not the program on TV with weekly episodes. Not everyone, makes up with a hug and a kiss (pre-Covid), we don’t all have great jobs with fun co-workers, and of course your Partner does NOT understand! Cancer is ugly also, but there are many times I feel thankful that I have (had) Oesophageal Squamous Cell Stage III, I have had many fun and exciting events, I still cannot believe my stomach is in 2 sections zigzagging through my chest. You have to see the good side of life! Otherwise you may as well say goodbye, if you believe people will remember you for ever, try and remember much about a friend or parent who has died. You don’t think about them daily. If you believe in a god or gods, I’m glad you have something to think about. I don’t and think I have it far easier than those who do. They may blame someone or something else. You have oesophageal cancer, research what the key causes are! Blame yourself or think of the fun times, you had being hedonistic. I have used the “Recipe” analogy a few times since first seeing this blog. It is an excellent way to look at your MD’s explanations and understand why you may well be told the same by every other MD you see. The only component that matters is YOU! Make sensible definite decisions, that you want to follow, or you may well follow the train of other cancer patients, down the dark tunnel! Don’t try the tunnel!

[@richardallen468]

Having read the other comments to this VLOG, I found it quite amazing with a few of them. It appears that their is far to much reliance to follow, to the letter whatever their Oncologist tells them. I did follow my Oncologist’s guidance with regards to medical treatment, however not for how I should except the consequences. I was basically treated as if I had no options, as to how to react to my side effects, rest, rest and rest a little more. That this is the standard way to treat someone who is dying, therefore I should not “rock the boat”! I chose to accept that history, told me that the vast majority of people, who have been diagnosed with the same condition as I, have not lasted long, but some have. I saw no rationale for my Oncologist to decide I was not going to survive. Hence I continued to live life with no expiration date. I needed Endoscopies to swallow(and live), so had those every three weeks for the first year. But lived between these. I found that I enjoyed walking, so even though it was not condoned by my Oncologist. I eventually was walking 15-20 miles a day. This gave me plenty of time to think, and enjoy life. This actually seemed to annoy my Oncologist, as I was not following his instructions! I came to think that he was more concerned about doing what the norm was, (Following the instructions of the Recipe Book), not what made me feel good. I could see that he appeared to have his interest over mine. Since I was getting little helpful advice from my oncologist, and was already aware of the possible outcome, I decided to stop using him. But to do my own thing. I continued having endoscopies as needed, I had built a good relationship with my GI MD, so felt I had nothing to lose, by doing this. My GI MD., transferred at this time to the new Local Hospital Cancer Institute, which was led by the most prolific Esophagectomy Surgeon in the Nation (I later discovered actually the world). The main reasons I am alive, are not following the standard expectation, of not sitting back, waiting to die. The only person who can make this decision, is the one with the diagnosis! It’s not pleasant, it can have fun enjoyable parts, but it is not a battle. When I hear people say they are “Battling” Cancer, they are succumbing to the idea of wanting sympathy. Why, people who have other ailments don’t do this to the same extent. I don’t think I “Battle” Cancer, I think of it as an unwelcome part of my life. It has however, given me a great many very friends, with my inclusion in a couple of local Cancer Recovery Groups. This gives me a wonderful opportunity, to show others that Cancer is NOT a death sentence. My attitude and continued levity wins many times, others are convinced that they are definitely going to die soon, as that is what happens to “Everyone” positively diagnosed. I would highly recommend that anyone who is diagnosed with oesophageal cancer, to watch the interview of Christopher Hitchens by Jonathan Paxman. Mr Hitchens was also diagnosed with oesophageal cancer.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer (adeno, not squamus cell) 3 months ago. I too have gained weight and avoided having a feeding tube put in. I do not know where this is going, but my doctor is following NCCN guidelines (for one thing insurance is not going to cover anything that is not standard of care) and at the very least the tumor in my throat has shrunk since I have no problems swallowing now. The way this video presents the care given at SICC makes it sound like the doctor is a quack. No mention of clinical backing for his treatment decisions. No real detail on the treatment at all except the "he thinks outside the box." The FDA and NCCN create boxes precisely because there have been too many quacks with their "miracle cures" in the past.
