    Show me where in my posts have I told him to give up?

     

    I have said it is one of the worst types of cancer and at stage 4 the prognosis is not good. It is also in area where it can quickly spread to other organs and also it is a cancer that usually, by the time they have found it, it can be too late to operate.

     

    You mention in one of your posts about ' fight and fight ' Well, as cancer patients we don't fight and fight.

     

    You are saying that as if some people are too lazy and so succumb. That isn't the case. Some people have bodies that react well to treatment or can withstand the poisons and medications forced upon the body and the invasive treatments.....and some people don't. It's as simple as that.

     

    I have defended the man and mentioned in my posts and it is annoying when people are saying on TVF they are put off by his tattoos, that is a ridiculous stance in my view and completely irrelevant. You might as well say let's not help people with piercings or any body art, a lot of which is fashionable these days and has no bearing on how a person should be viewed.

    I have a very good cancer mentor assigned by Christies so you telling a man he is in ' denial ' and well with your history, what do you think... congratulations you win...

    My mind set is fight, fight, fight this means every day try and get a needle removed, shower by myself, move forward one step at a time.

     ' i think

     the guy is in denial. It affects different people in different ways and some are so desperate to cling to life, they will say or convince themselves of anything.'

     

    So denial means you think he should give up...

    I would have lost nothing and you know nothing mate.

     

    I was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2004 which turned out to be cancer of the vocal chords. I underwent an intensive course of chemotherapy and radiation therapy which failed.

     

    I was then given a total laryngectomy in 2005, a removal of everything from Adam's apple, thyroid, voice-box and have since been with a stoma,  and I was hospitalized for 7 weeks at Bumrungrad hospital in Bangkok, in a touch and go operation. I then had to undergo hyperbaric treatment due to the fact surgical wounds had not healed correctly.

     

    I then underwent further radiation in the ' post op mopping up procedure ' After this, I had six monthly, then yearly, then 2 yearly checks for cancer.

     

    I then sold a very successful business as I was to weak to continue with it.

     

    I come from a family of eight and there are three of us left, two of us are cancer survivors, the other five all dieds from different cancers, so we know quite about cancer in my family.

     

    I need no advice from you about attitudes or responses to cancer.

     

     

     

     

    So with that history  why would you to tell someone to give up...

    OK,

     

    Maybe not on the translation part. However, it is a red label sensationalist UK paper and not really classed as serious news reporting.

     

    With his statement of the ' all clear '  well, I have seen and known personally people with late stage, and stage 4 is very late stage, of pancreatic cancer and some of them were wealthy and could afford the best types of treatment. None of them came through it shortly after diagnosis.

     

    I think the guy is in denial. It affects different people in different ways and some are so desperate to cling to life, they will say or convince themselves of anything.

     

     

     

     

    Having survived cancer 3 times including losing a kidney and thyroid gland the only way to survive is to grasp every chance and hope with both hands, fight, fight, fight or you have lost. You would have lost with that attitude .

  5. Hello, I along with a group of friends who are diabetic have  bought 100 boxes of ACCU CHEK PERFORMA blood test strips from abroad, we did not know we needed an import licence and stupidly didn't do enough research.

     

    Our seller has agreed to refund partial payment on return to seller, but if possible we would like to get them through customs, the UPS agent says that we can for a charge get the name on the delivery changed, if we can get someone who has an import license for this product.

    We are willing to pay 20,000 baht to help us clear customs. 

     

    Tracking number can be sent if anyone is interested.

     

    Thank you in advance.

    I am aware of the paucity of air quality monitoring stations south of Bangkok, and I have an air quality monitor so I can take my own readings. I would advise anyone who is serious about protecting their health to do the same.

     

     

    Yes due to some health issues I also have one but it rarely goes above 120 where I live in the centre of cha am .5 km from the beach with little traffic in the area most times

    Sure you are in the right place? I've lived there nearly twenty years and never seen a mountain close by. 

     

    Right now, AQI count is an "unhealthy" 151 and the PM2.5 count of 56.2 is more than twice the WHO safe limit.

     

    Hope you're wearing a good quality mask!

    If you look at the contributors map there are only 2 stations ToyotaSureMuangPetch by CSE - Tha Yang air quality index (reading 161) and Hua Hin International School - Hua Hin air quality index ( reading 159 ) both 20km away from Cha-am and both in built up areas with plenty of traffic, these readings are only averaged for other areas without any monitoring stations, if you go 10km slightly south of the school monitor to Sansiri - Autumn Hua Hin air quality index the index is only reading 90, they are not that accurate unless you have one of the monitoring stations within a couple of km from your location, or buy one of their $300 USD monitors and add it to the public domain for tracking

    type this in for AQI.     then on search go to  hua hin    or  prachuap kk  or  khon kaen  

    it's everywhere !      https://www.airvisual.com/thailand/chiang-mai

    Hi, take a look at https://www.airvisual.com/air-quality-map to understand where the readings are taken from for an area like Phetchaburi where there are only 2 meters taking readings 70km apart and both in built up areas. Then those readings are taken as an average in a 200km area, you can click on the individual markers to see the true reading of that meter.
