Ok I’m just posting this to give some of you guys that think you can run gear for years and years without breaks and also think organ protection is just too much money. New Years I went to the ER for what I thought was kidney stones. Well a week later I got sent home with a diagnosis of having cancer in my one kidney thats causing all the issues. I’m not telling you guys this for sympathy or to sound like the old fart who is constantly telling everyone to be careful. I’m just reminding everyone to be smart and always take your supplements. They are the most important part of your cycle. The hardest punch I’ve taken in my whole career was the one I just got from some random cancer doc at the ER when he came in my room and said hey you got the big C. I’m one of the younger guys here too. Wonder what caused it? I’m not looking to debate anyone either. All I know is since I was about 15 or so I started with a real MMA coach and I basically lived a very very clean lifestyle for 20 years. Ive never even had a beer or a cigarette. Hell I’ve never even drank a cup of coffee. No one else in my family has had this issue. The only constant that I can think of is using PEDS most of those years. Obviously I didn’t do much when I was super young but as I aged I would have to say my PED use increased. Still not to the levels that I would consider a lot now but still I used them. Other than the PEDs I really can’t think of another constant. Whatever I’m not preaching I just have developed a few really good friendships here and I just wanted to remind everyone to be as careful as you can be. I’m definitely not blaming our lifestyle but remember Steroids are dangerous. You gotta respect them and all the advice guys have given for years and years based on their experiences. Take breaks. Take organ support seriously. Drink water. Drink more water. Listen to the old heads even if they seem to be overly careful. They are that way for a reason.
