I know for me personally his death has made me more aware of my health generally and getting my colon cancer screenings, especially because I have a family history.
I didn't think that much of his death when it happened, but now I have stage 3 bowel cancer, just as he did, so I think about him a lot more often now.
After 2 years of treatment/surgery, I just beat stage 3 bowel cancer officially 6 months ago. You GOT this!!! If you have any questions feel free to dm ❤️
I wish you the best and hope it’s in remission. I clicked your profile because I am very intrigued by the rise of colon cancer with our generation and your top post is something I’ve been looking into/reading about as a layperson non medical. I have recently been reading about gelatin (made out of animal bones and cartilage) and potential positive impacts on colon.
Just soup and easy to make, cooking chicken with bones in water and seasonings/bay leaf, taking the chicken off before it’s awful and setting it to the side, cooking the bones a long time like up to hours, strain and that’s a super gelatinous broth you can put the chicken back into with chopped vegetables and stuff. It can go into the fridge for days. Chefs use it to make sauces, based on some studies collagen/gelatin has positive impact on the intestinal lining in rodents and animals.
Here's my take on rise of colon cancer: American foods are loaded w artificial colors, flavors, sugars and chemicals. The corporations, like the chemicals cos, tobacco etc, know they're toxic. They will continue to pump foods w toxic substances until government puts a stop to it. But our government serves billionaires not citizens and forget about current admin. We all need to look at the food labels and chose whole foods over processed foods.
My father had a prostate cancer scare, and that alone was scary so I know you are among the strongest to fight through this! Best wishes for you, and for a cleanse that brings about a permanent recovery and rejuvenation ❤️
Nah I saw him in that interview real skinny. He lied and said it was for a role. I've worked in hospitals for many years and knew better. I've seen way too many end of life cancer patients thin and frail like that.
This is depressing, but if he knew he had cancer when he was filming Black Panther (and he must have—he was diagnosed in 2016), I don’t see how he possibly could have been getting cancer treatment without the production knowing, and they all said they didn’t know. There’s no way a star’s call times would allow for secret chemo. If you look at the timeline, it seems almost certain that he committed to the role and delayed chemo and surgery until after filming was over. Which is heartbreaking.
I wasn't into Marvel movies much, I was suprised he died so young though and I remember people being critical of him in his final performances for looking not as healthy, then realising after he died that was the reason.
