Before I started radiation treatment I used to fly around the country on business 3-4 times a month which meant I become a Gold Frequent Flyer with Air New Zealand, which gave me free membership in the frequent flyer lounge. Where my app ensured that as I walked in a nice frothy flat white coffee was sitting on the barista counter as I walked in.
I had radiation treatment for 8 weeks, but they told me that there could be residual radiation around my body for a while longer and that I shouldn't sit near pregnant women or adolescent children because it could affect an unborn child or hormonally developing children.
So I stopped flying for about 6 months and that subsequently meant that meant I no longer got the privileges of a Gold frequent flyer. I emailed them subsequently to explain my position and that I did the right thing for them as well, but got no response from my email, where I asked if they might reinstate my membership and let me continue from that date.
I couldn't have lived with my conscience if someone happened to sit next to me, perhaps even a woman who didn't even know she was pregnant yet, who may have a child that was in some way damaged by the residual radiation, never knowing that it was caused by a sick person who would also never know they had harmed an innocent person because they didn't head the advice of their radiologist.
I couldn't very well go to the airline and ask them to ensure I didn't sit next to children or women who could potentially be pregnant, they probably wouldn't let me fly. I suspect that most people like me, or those who chose radioactive seed implants to fight their cancer would have just flown and denied the risks to themselves in favour of being able to continue their daily lives.
I do wonder though, how many people may have been affected by cancer patients, especially those with embedded seeds and never know why their child has health problems caused by someone who put their needs first, or possibly didn't know they were risking someone else's health in order to continue living their own the way they want.
Anyway, I'm in remission now and traveling a lot again so chances are within 6-12 months I'll be back up to gold and seeing my name on a coffee cup in the frequent flyer lounge.
Your treatment affects unborn children you are sitting close to???
How can this be good for YOU? Please don't answer that question. Your doctors have been educated by institutions financed by pharmaceutical companies. So whatever they told you is unlikely to be true.
Have upped & resteemed this post in the hope that others will support me in what I am about to say.
There is another way and it is 100% natural... and it doesn't involve doctors.
It is not your fault but you appear to have been sucked into a money generating scam. I don't know your history I haven't read your previous posts, but I do know perfect health is waiting for you, if you choose to do your own research on your condition. And when you do that GOOGLE search, make sure you use the words 'natural cure' along side your condition, and you will see very quickly what I am talking about.
And FYI - don't put cow's milk in that labelled coffee of yours! It won't help.
I hope you understand I mean you no disrespect and my intentions are to help you

I agree with this previous reply.... Research and try using natural cures and clean food, herbs spices and changing your diet. Our establishment medical system is deeply flawed.

Kia Ora @bluesbro, North Island Kiwi? I started life in the Thames Hospital. Nearly died there too 12 years later, but that's another story. I've been living in Canada for most of the years since then.
I'm an early stage 4 throat cancer surgery survivor who also endured endured 30 radiation treatments. That was 10 years ago now. I'm still 'officially' cancer free.
Now I've found SteemIt and I'm starting a Blog series on what I learned, and am still learning, about cancer.
At the risk of being self-promoting here is a link to my first post on cancer > https://steemit.com/life/@watertoncafe/cancer-lights-up-for-sugar-cancer-cells-crave-sugar
check it out and please feel free to share your comments there.
by a sad twist of fate a good friend phoned me today and asked to come chat. he just received the news that he has cancer and it may already be spreading into his lymph system.
I hate cancer.
Glad to hear you are back up and flying. Life is for living and enjoying.

Best wishes for you dear. When my sister was still alive, she used to have radiation treatment and was never advised the same thing though.

All the best for you @bluesbro. I can understand the feeling. I have had a radiation treatment too.
I am glad you are traveling again. Take good care of yourself!

You are in remission so you start flying again? It's like having heart problems, going on a diet and after it beingwas successful, going back to eat unhealthy. Arent you worried the cancer will come back with Ll the radiation youre exposibg urself to?

I send best wishes for your recovery bluesbro, one thing I became aware of this year is the benefits of medicinal mushrooms like Reishi and Turkey tail to alleviate the side effects of radiation therapy. You might want to do some research on them, they might make a big difference. Check out Paul Stamets a mycologist expert.

Thanks for all the comments, just so you know, I tried all sorts of alternative treatments first including very expensive sea cucumber, Pomi-T and various herbs. None of them made any difference, but I was happy to try them. The only thing that appears to have worked was hormone therapy, but after that I ended up not producing cortisol and am now fructose and lactose intolerant. Bottom line is I'm in remission and going back to specialists in just over a week, fingers crossed.
