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. The Quest for The Cures Page 234
Episode 7: How to Survive and Thrive Ty: Sure Jason Vale: Biopsies do that. Ty: Many doctors that we’ve interviewed have said the same thing. Jason Vale: Good, yeah, because the needle aspiration when they pull the needle out it can—I don't know. So some doctors believe that, some doctors actually don’t believe that. but so over the years I could never get someone that would explain why I have to get a biopsy because I wanted to know for sure if it was cancer. Because at this point is when I found out about the apricot seeds. It seemed like the tumor kept shrinking. And every time we went to the doctors we saw—the first time I went it only went down from 3.5 to 3.2 and I was discouraged. But kidney cancers are very—can be very slow growing or slow shrinking also. So I didn’t let it discourage me much but every time I went it was going down a little bit more, 3.5, 2.8, 2.5, 2.0… Ty: All the while you’re eating the apricot seeds. Jason Vale: Well, I’m eating the seeds, yes. Well, at about—let’s see, I was like 26 or 27, I was arm wrestling and I was starting to become the New York State champion and I was US champion at one point. And I was the world champion at one point. But before I was the world champion the show Extra they called me up and they wanted to do an interview. And I said, sure, you know, I’ll do an interview because they saw that this guy that was a really good arm wrestler also had cancer and beat the worst cancer. Ty: Yeah. That’s got fodder for TV. Jason Vale: Right. They came over. We did the interview and the next thing you know they were calling me up saying, listen, Jason we have hundreds and hundreds of people calling the show. They want to know your phone number. They want to know how they can get in touch with you and talk to you and blah, blah, blah. They said is it okay if we give your phone number out I said sure. Give my phone number out. So immediately people started calling me and I put together a business package. I found a way to get the seeds, which I could only find a place that had like five or ten pounds at a time. Like the video says a world without cancer about this whole thing that’s going on… Ty: I still remember. It was a videotape that I got, World Without Cancer. The Quest for The Cures Page 235
