How did cancer impact Scott's journey?
Is it fair to say that the brain can build on traumatic memories, preventing a person from taking actions that could allow them to heal themselves, as discussed in the episodes "Something Scary Happened The Other Day and I Wanted To Talk To You About It" and "478: Are you metabolizing your trauma?" with Will Cole, D.C.?
I have a question about the episode Terry Laughlin Interview | The Tim Ferriss Show (Podcast) and the clip Embracing Purpose. I personally feel devastated by the news and feel that I have lost complete control of my life. This situation has affected all areas of my life. I’ve had to put my business on hold due to the demanding nature of the chemotherapy used to treat this type of cancer. I have two young children, and taking care of them while not being able to bring in money has been extremely difficult. The side effects from all the chemo I have had have made me very weak, extremely fatigued, nauseous, and easily confused. I’ve also developed a blood clot in the area where the tumors are and high blood pressure, so I am on blood thinners and blood pressure medication. I am also on TRT due to the orchiectomy. My life is in shambles. I am writing to you in hopes that maybe I can find some solutions to help get me off of blood thinners and blood pressure medicine, and also figure out how to go about reducing the chances of cancer coming back and maybe avoiding the surgery if at all possible.
