The Truth About Cancer
hospital and they said, listen, we’re going to—we’re not going to do it
now because its like 12:00 at night, whatever. We’re going to have a
fresh team in the morning and we’re going to operate on you in the
morning. So the morning comes and all I remember from that day is that
they laid me down on the bed—Dr. Collinsgrove [ph], Dr. Beatty—this
was Sloan-Kettering and Beth Israel, and Dr. Berglund. He was he
nerve doctor that was going to take over when they got to the cancer
that was near the spine. And Dr. Beatty was the chest doctor. He was
going to take it out from there. Dr. Collinsgrove turned out to be a friend
to this day. I’m a good friend of his. He was like an intern at the time or
resident, whatever, you know.
So they told me, okay, count back from ten and by the time you get to
one you’re going to be asleep. So I remember saying let me play a trick
on them. I’ll never forget this. I said, alright, ten, nine, eight [snores] and
I went like this and the whole team you heard them just starting to get
their stuff together and going on. And in about three seconds later I went
just kidding. And they all—to this day they all say that that really
brightened the whole attitude of the operating room because they were
laughing hysterically. Another second I was out cold though. They told
me afterwards that that really gave them a good outlook because they
don’t like seeing a 18-year-old kid with a deadly uncurable cancer in his
body. So anyway, they did an amazing operation and so forth and that
time I said to them I didn’t know better. I didn’t know. And I still don’t
know to this day what did what. But I do know that I said to them, listen,
if I’m going to do any of this chemo-radiation, everybody died with the
chemo, everybody died with the radiation. And I was strong. I felt I was
strong as an ox even though I had had the cancer the year before. I said
let me do the chemo and the radiation. So they gave me the most
poison you can possibly take in the world without dying and I almost did
die but that’s when I stopped doing the chemo.
About five years later they found something in my—it might have been
six years they found something in my kidney. And I think the size of it
was 3.5 when they found it originally. I think I was going for a scan every
like year or so, or at first it was every six months and then it was every
year. And then they found something that was 3.5 centimeters in my
kidney and they said it parallels renal cell carcinoma. And I said I don’t
want to get a biopsy because if you get a biopsy of it. You’re going to
spread it.
Ty: Spread the cancer
Jason Vale: Right. I mean doctors say that, right. Other people say
that.
