A Message to my Radarsite Readers


For the latest update, please read A Message to my Readers: A Great Update




Dear loyal Radarsite readers --
This is a strange message for me to be writing. But it must be done. But how? What can I say? I think I'll just say it up front. Two days ago I got diagnosed with acute leukemia. It is considered "lethal". I have been told that it could come to an end in as short a time as 2 weeks. I have been allowed to come home for one night before I go into the hospital tomorrow for chemo. If I survive the first week, things could get better, if I survive four weeks thing could really get better. However, as of now the first prognosis does seem the most likely. I think we all wonder how we might react to news like this. At this point I can tell you that I am in a good mood, and I have accepted it and I have nothing but gratitude that I have been allowed to live this long, and to have found such a fulfilling mission this late in life.

I am so grateful to have made so many good friends and to have found so many worthy patriots who love this great country of ours as much as I do, not despite what we have done but because of what we have done.

This may be my last article and of course I would like it to be my best. I would like to fill it with everything I have learned or felt. I would like to say something really profound and meaningful, but I just can't. I'm getting too tired right now to go much further.

I can only say thank you for all I have learned from you and for your steadfast loyalty. My fondest hope of course would be that I would come back home all cured and find this article to be an embarrassment to me. lol But of course that's not up to me.

Please, all of you, all of you who are my fellow warriors, all of you who have commented here, and all of you who have been quiet readers, keep up the good fight, and I hope that you have enjoyed me as much as I have enjoyed you.

With great respect,
Roger W. Gardner

  9. You have many people alongside you, Roger. In the short time I've been reading your posts (and wonderful short stories), you have become a vivid person to me, a man I admire greatly for strength and wisdom. So from a friend you haven't met, God bless you, and know you're not alone as you fight this battle.

  10. This is shocking news but I hope you have many good, healthy years ahead of you. I looked up the comments on my blog from 2007 where you and I disagreed, but it really wasn't a disagreement. You are a gentleman and we greatly respect you.

    My family will keep you in our prayers every night when we say nightly devotions. We love you, Roger.

  13. Roger,
    I hope you know how much your dedication and support meant to me as you helped me find the courage to do the right thing. Only you and I know what that was and how important is was. Now I want you to use that same great inner strength you have to fight this and get well......we all need you and this country needs you more than ever.
    You and your family are in my prayers now and always will be. If your family or you need anything please don't hesitate to contact me.
    I just can't believe this.

  14. Roger,

    You have show us a powerful strength of will and have earned the admiration of a great many of us. I am sure you will give it hell, and we'll all be shouting and cheering support for your recovery the whole time.

    There have been times over the past month where Radarsite provided me crucial insight and analysis of the enormous issues before us all. Without this public blog, I would been far less informed and much less inclined to question the actions being undertaken "for the common good" by our illustrious leaders.

    Not a day will go forward from now where we aren't ready and willing to help you through this in whatever unforseen ways that are yet to be envisioned.

    You need only ask; there will be many who would gladly provide many kinds of assistance we can, myself included. It is a very, very rare thing that I offer without hesitation to you -- because through your effort I've found a reason to not give up. To keep the fight going, into the fire and to weather the storm ahead. I have you to thank for this.

    If there is anything you may need, a book to read, or laptop PC, or whatever it may be, let us know. Maybe we can find it for you.

  15. I'm so sorry to hear this news, in fact I'm extremely upset!
    Keep up that fighting spirit, you are in my thoughts.

  16. Roger, I don't have the right words, so these will have to do:
    Fight and never give up.

    With affection and hope,

  19. My Dear Roger,

    It is entirely unacceptable that, at 108 years old, we should outlive you at...97 or whatever you are! This will not do.

    But as you have led and instructed us with grace and wisdom in other areas, perhaps you are called to so in this as well.

    As always, God's will be done, but we pray again that it lines up nicely with our own - that being: we get to keep our Roger!

    We shall pray for you. And be assured that we shall all continue the fight in your absence, however long that may be.

    Take care my friend!

    Cheers,

    Charlie

  24. Roger, if your mind is open ...

    Beata Bishop - Beating Cancer With Food

    Beata Bishop (ex BBC journalist) in 2006: "I am a former cancer patient, having recovered twenty-three years ago on the Gerson therapy from metastasised malignant melanoma. I chose it as a last resort in January 1981, when despite extensive surgery the melanoma had spread into my lymphatic system and orthodox oncology could only offer me more surgery, without which - the dire prognosis went - my life expectancy was somewhere between six weeks and six months. Having thoroughly researched the disease, I knew that further operations were not the answer.

    So I rejected both the offer and the prognosis and embarked on the Gerson programme, for the simple reason that it seemed supremely logical. I thought I'd rather try to re-build my body's defences, so that it could eliminate the malignant process, than weaken it further with radio or chemotherapy simply in order to shrink the tumour. After two tough years - this therapy is no picnic - I was cured, and have remained so for the past twenty-three years. Since in the official view five years of symptomfree survival equal a cure, I am now well into my fifth cure.

    To start with, let me sum up the essence of this therapy, evolved by Dr Max Gerson, M.D. (1881-1959) over 30 years of clinical practice. It rests on two principles:

    1. Cancer is a disease of the whole body. It's not a thing, namely a tumour, but a process. The tumour is merely the symptom of a highly toxic organism with a malfunctioning digestive system and diminished immune competence. Hence it's insufficient to eliminate the tumour by surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. If the organism isn't restored to optimum functioning, the malignant process is likely to continue, producing a recurrence.

    2. To avoid this, the body must be detoxified, the digestive system restored to peak condition and the immune system rebuilt, so that the organism itself can eliminate the malignant process.

    This is achieved by a strict, precision-built nutritional programme followed over two years, combined with regular detoxification by coffee enemas and castor oil treatment, and natural supplements to promote good digestion. Only organic produce can be used for the three square meals and 13 glasses of freshly made vegetable and fruit juices that make up the patient's daily intake. All toxic substances, ranging from household chemicals to cosmetics, must be avoided, together with a multitude of foodstuffs ..."

    (I'm happy to elaborate on any of these links, but I'm not going to debate with anyone who wants everything peer-reviewed. Having experienced serious health problems myself, long ago, I learned that few people have open minds. Either Roger has, or he hasn't. Take it or leave it. There is no profit motive behind this post. And I'm certainly not going to guarantee 100% any therapy. I am just someone who has faced doctors who said "sorry, there's nothing more we can do". End of story)

    Good luck Roger.

  30. This hits me like a ton of bricks, Roger. My father passed from this in a week's time but his system was weakened already by a stroke the month before and because his doctor had made him lose 30 pounds (down to 150 lb. on a 5'10" frame) because he was pre-diabetic. Daddy just had no resources with which to fight the disease.

    The good news is that you are a candidate for the chemo which means you DO have a decent fighting chance. One of our good friend's beat this at 75 and is still kicking at a spry 90 so I know the odds are not insurmountable.

    I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and I thank you for all the important things I have learned from reading your blog.

    God be with you till we meet again.

  32. Roger, as you well know, our world is sorely lacking in but one commodity - heroes.

    Yes, you are one of "those" people:) You have forced so many of us off our lazy derrieres to pick up the battle standard. If you choose to leave us - and I do believe our souls have that choice - then we will continue fighting on. But....we would most certainly prefer to continue the battle with you at the forefront!

    I'm not much of a prayer person except on special occasions. I tend to thank, more than ask. Your illness falls into the "ask" category - so I am selfishly asking both God and your soul that you stick around awhile longer.

    By way of encouragement - my husband's prognosis was four months. He beat the odds by an astonishing four years. I've got a feeling you will be one of "those" people as well:)

    Blessings to you and yours while you fight this personal battle.

  37. Roger,

    I can't think of anything to say. But, you have fought a lot of battles in your life. And now you're faced with the biggest fight of them all. A good mental attitude will get you a long way in this battle. Just do what you have to do to get well again. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

    My 12 year old niece was given roughly 6 months when she got a rare child cancer that affect the joints. Well, she's a real handful and far from being passive. It's been now 18 months and her last CAT, MRI and PET scans revealed no tumors. But the cancerous cells are lingering. I sincerely believe it's her attitude that keeps her fighting and living. And this cancer she has...is a 3% survivil rate after a year.

    Keep your head up and remain positive. Something tells me it's just NOT your time to leave us.
    G-d Bless you and your family.

  52. Dear Roger,

    Acute leukemia is beatable, there are many variables and there's no way your doctors have all the data yet to quote accurate percentages. There are plenty of people walking around that have beaten leukemia. Chemo sucks, but you can do it. My child just finished treatment for acute leukemia, so I know of what I speak.

    Might I suggest checking out the leukemia and lymphoma society. They have a discussion board feature where you can get a lot of valuable information on the latest treatments, practical tips for dealing with side effects, moral support and a chance to talk to others that have traveled this road ahead of you AND survived.

    I will add you to my prayer list. Hang in there, the first couple of weeks are the hardest.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Fight it,Roger. Fight it and defeat it! Know, that if you are martyred, we are standing in your place with swords drawn.

    There is an experimental drug, derived from the flagella of Salmonella, that can greatly reduce the side effects of chemo. Ask your oncologist if you are eligible for the clinical trial.

    Some hospitals now have wireless networks and loaner laptops. Its worth an inquiry. Perhaps you can continue blogging while undergoing treatment.

    While praying for your complete and swift recovery, I remind you of Eccl. 12: 1-7. Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the years come not nor the days draw nigh when thou shalt say "I have no pleasure in them"....

    From a blogger's perspective, I want you to know, Roger, that you have made a difference here at RADARSITE. You have spurred others into greater things at their blogs and you have informed your readers like few have. You have been a beacon of clarity and justice, Roger. And I look forward to more and more of the same when you get better.

  67. *I've blogged with Roger for about a year or so, basically since he first started. He came to the counter-jihad fight late but he became very good very quickly.

    A patriot and a fighter who not only loves his country but our western civilization and his loss would be a tough blow....a kick in the stomach.

    We need our best people in this war we're facing.

    But his family is the most important thing right now to remember. It's the ones left behind who suffer the most. I've never met Roger in person or even spoke to him on the phone.

    But I feel like I've known him personally all along and if the worst comes to pass I will feel the loss.

    And that's saying something for someone like me who isn't very emotional or overly sensitive. I've honestly been caught off guard.

    But as Roger wishes, we will continue the fight... for our country, our allies and western civilzation..

    Godspeed Roger,

  69. Roger, I am so very fond of you because there was no grey area with you, just black and white. You see the truth and you don't wander off the mark.

    I used to think my prayers were the kiss of death, and then I decided to look at them another way and that is that if I hadn't prayed it would have been much worse. Therefore, I am going to pray for you Roger, you are one in a million and the world needs a good man like yourself to fight the good fight and there are so few left of you left who will fight.

    God Bless You and Keep You Safe Beneath His Wings

    I'm going to offer you my two cents just in case it may help - I've read cancer cannot live in an alkaline ph body, so eat your veggies and if you want a quick fix, apple cider vinegar and baking soda will turn an acidic body into an alkaline body pronto. God Bless

  70. Roger,

    You gave me the strength to fight the fight. You helped me gain a stronger voice and passion. Through you I will never stop. I will eternally be the Warrior that all of us should be, strive to be and have become because of you.

    Be strong, your will and soul is stronger than you realize.

    You are a wonderful soul and spirit and it is not over yet my dear friend. Never over!

    My prayers and positive thoughts are with you Roger. God Bless you and I wish I had the words to express my gratitude and appreciation for all you have taught me my dear wonderful human being.

    God Bless you Roger. I look forward to more posts from you in the future and I know I will see them from you.

    Take care of you and get better. We are here for you always!

  77. Hang tough Roger. With so many very good people praying for you, your chances are great. You're on my prayer list and God willing, you'll come through this with flying colors. You've been a mentor for all of us and I thank you for being mine. tom2 @ CW.

  78. Roger,
    You are in my prayers and I will pass the news on to our congregation and small group.

    If anyone can heal you it is the almighty himself. May God give you strength to endure the trail set before you. May you fight the fight in cancer that you have fought with the keyboard! God bless brother!

  82. A gentleman is what you are, embodying every rich connotation that the word conjures up. Honor and strength tempered with kindness and deep wisdom. I don't want you to leave either. At all. But you and God will likely discuss this while we all pray. I hope it comes out that you stay.

    I am 12 years in remission from a blood cancer they told me I had little chance of defeating. Doctors say what they say. It wasn't my time. None of us ever know when that is. But I trust you and God to figure that out.

    Thank you for all your words and the generosity of spirit that gives them to us. I pray that we should be so blessed as to have them yet a while longer. We enter a time when their light is sorely needed to navigate ahead.

  83. Dear Roger,
    You said you wished to write something of great import here in this post, and you have! The amazing valor and strength of character shown in your thoughts at a time like this are inspiring.
    I am saddened to not have been by here for a while and was taken aback to read of this sad news.
    I am trusting that our Lord will hold you ever in His loving embrace and fill you with strength and health. I also pray the treatment will be as painless as possible and that God will place people near you who will be a support and encouragement to you.
    May He heal you ,if it be His will, and knowing you are a man of faith, we know you will be ok, come what may.
    We will pray for you daily!
    With all my respect,
    Rita Vernoy

  84. In Matthew 18:19, Jesus said, "Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven." Join me and ask for Roger's healing. If it is His will, it will happen.
