As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I'm being treated for bladder cancer and I'm undergoing immunotherapy treatments (TB bladder wash). Well, I had my scoping yesterday and I'm CLEAN!!! No lesions or tumors found! I'll go in for maintenance treatments over the next month but the protocol...
It astounds me how little people actually know about cancer and diseases in general.
Here's a shocking truth: EVERYONE currently has cancerous cells in their body. So, why doesn't EVERYONE have 'cancer'? Well, it's because our immune system is actively fighting off those cells and keeping...

In any case, this was NOT an accident. Pilots don't turn off their transponders for any (good) reason! Somebody stole this 777!
