So he probably got into that facet of himself. <br /><br />I think he's got issues that he needs to deal with. Instead of fighting with people on the internet - shut it down, take some time to talk with a mental health professional and get his house in order. Then rebuild his professional standing by delivering on contracts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189040857725534268.post-31169006834521392062011-03-12T10:03:09.182-08:002011-03-12T10:03:09.182-08:00So rescheduling an international trip...first, he&...So rescheduling an international trip...first, he's full of sh*t.

This is to gain information from people that might know things I don't. <br /><br />My girlfriend had her thyroid removed. It left a small scar. It involved a few doctors. It involved a hospital and doctor's offices. The mass removed weighed about 2 oz (I can't recall the exact amount - it wasn't three pounds). They had to go in twice. It was scary. It was painful. It took up quite a bit of our time over the course of her treatment and she couldn't work for awhile. <br /><br />What does it mean to have three pounds of anything removed from your neck? That's what he's claiming. Not a 2 oz piece of thyroid. <br /><br />"He deserves to be punched square in the nuts just for lying about having cancer."

The doctors believed it had spread to his lymphnodes, and thought he had 6mo-1yr to live. <br /><br />They cut out his cancer. To do that, it looks like he had his throat slit - the scar is more than 180 degrees around his neck. They did all kinds of technical stuff in there, and I am not really qualified to tell you about. For this ping-pong sized cancer, he was in ICU for ten days, and my dad was in much better shape than Fish is - my dad's a roughneck. Surgery went great.<br /><br />After ICU, a few more days in recovery. Doctors told him to go through radiation and chemo. Dad said if he was going to die in a year, he would just assume not go through Chemo. So he did radiation. That radiation killed the hair follicles in his neck and on his jaw. No more beard ever. It also killed his taste buds. He can barely taste anything at all. That was 15 years ago next week. <br /><br />Fish claiming he had cancer, and then he shot a wedding on each coast a week and two weeks after surgery to remove a 3 pound mass is patently fasle on the surface. He deserves to be punched square in the nuts just for lying about having cancer. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that no one ever has shot a wedding within a week of having a 3lb tumor taken out of their neck. <br /><br />The Jerry Maguire kid said the human head weighs 9 pounds right? A neck is just a fraction the size of the head. 3lbs from the neck would be like cutting an entire second neck off of you. That would be huge. That's like a steak at a Texas restaurant that you try to eat on a dare that comes on a platter. <br /><br />But to use cancer as an excuse for shirking responsibility... I hope he loses custody of his children and never works again. That is about as offensive as anything I have read. Especially for those of us that have seen our friends and family slowly die or struggle with life through cancer and radiation. I hope someone punches him square in the nuts for lying about having cancer.

As such, you don't need to try and figure out where any remaining cancer cells are - the typical post operative treatment (a single ablative dose of radioactive iodine) will find them on its own. The thyroid (and thyroid cancer cells still act like thyroid cells) require iodine to function, and thus will uptake and hold onto radioactive iodine and kill themselves. Nothing else in the body will, and any remaining RAI will simply be eliminated from the body through urine, saliva sweat, etc. Quite honestly, the radiation therapy was a walk in the park. The worst side effect was a metallic taste in my mouth. <br /><br />While I am highly suspicious of his claim of a three pound cancerous mass, and immediately jumping back in the game shooting a wedding which presumable would require a significant amount of twisting of the neck, your perception that he would be undergoing the same type of radiation and chemo regimen as a breast/lung/pancreatic/etc. cancer victim and the need for a boatload of doctors is simply incorrect.<br /><br />My personal hypothesis - based on my own experience with this disease - is that if he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer it was most likely a papillary carcinoma, requiring a thyroidectomy and as a precaution, his surgeon removed the lymph nodes in his neck. This does not equate to a 3 pound cancerous mass, as they take as much of the lymph nodes as they feel is necessary to guard against spread of the disease and not just a specific tumor. This would indeed leave a nearly ear to ear scar - but if the surgeon was good, he would make the incision in folds of the neck, and after a couple of years you would really have to look hard to see it. <br /><br />Any radition therapy (a one time event with annual followup checks), would not occur immediately as the oncologist needs any remaining thyroid cells to be starved of iodine and for thyroid stimulating hormones to be very high to increase the effectiveness of the radiation treatment. <br /><br />Could he have gone back to work after a week? Yes, but the neck would be very sore and turning your head a bit difficult. Would it have been against all medical advice? Eh, not so sure there, but I wouldn't have wanted to put my neck on a swivel for four-five hours. I returned to work in an office environment four days post op and underwent RAI therapy two months later.<br /><br />Thyroid cancers are rare - around 37,000 people a year in the US. Thyroid cancers in males are more rare (less than 1/3 of the total) - particular for males under 40. The predominant forms are extremely slow growing and large masses are even more rare. I had a 2 centimeter mass which was considered quite large - and that is certainly less than 3 pounds - and placed me into a much higher risk group. The predominant forms are also, next to basic skin cancers, among those with the most effective treatment with very high long-term survival rates.<br /><br />Yes, I personally believe his story is embellished - especially since he was trying to use it as an excuse for why he failed to fulfill on a contract. But if you're going to challenge his assertions, you should at least be educated on what the actual treatment regimen is. <br /><br />What I find even more incredible is his claim that it didn't cost him anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189040857725534268.post-78027540604985933022011-03-12T05:32:58.120-08:002011-03-12T05:32:58.120-08:00"Fish supposedly lured the bully with baited ..."Fish supposedly lured the bully with baited questions that somehow trapped the FishFraud blogger!"<br /><br />LOL.
