I was diagnosed with T4 bladder cancer on October 5th 2018 and given 1.5 years to live. I said NO to chemotherapy and radiation treatments as well as major surgery, I chose a cannabis treatment ( Rick Simpson oil) and I'm still here today going on six years now.

Sometimes I feel the treatments kill faster than the cancer itself. Radiation and chemo is very harsh.

Of the four deployments to Iraq I was on, I managed to see Toby Keith twice! That was not easy to do. The logistics of getting my butt to the two different locations was hard. It was more than worth it. I spent 28yrs in the Army, infantry. Toby Keith appreciated the guys at the tip of the spear doing the nasty work. I never met a soldier, NCO, or officer that did not love Toby Keith. Every single time I hear that song The Red White and Blue, the tears come on. I love America, the flag, but I don't love our government much. Toby got that, he understood. He will be missed.

So sad I really believed he was going to beat the cancer. He was so courageous and made it almost 3 years after being diagnosed. So I felt like he could have beat the odds. Lost half his body weight and he still fought hard. So not only is he one of my all time favorite country singers but how he fought cancer made him a hero to me. RIP Big Dog.

Cancer treatments have come a long way. I remember relatives in the 80s and 90s that had chemo and died anyway. I used to say I would never get it. But in the last 10-15 years, I've had 3 people I care about that had treatments with minimal side effects and are still alive today and wouldn't be without the treatments. But when it's your time, it's your time and some things are more powerful than cancer or cancer drugs.

I lost my best friend to cancer at 42 yrs old. They rushed him into chemo, and he only lasted 6 months. I begged him to try other methods, but he was stubborn and afraid, also. I don't blame him but I saw the chemo weakening him and it was very difficult to watch.

Rest In Peace, Toby. i hope tricia & his family & friends know how deeply his music will touch so many of us for the rest of OUR lives. God Bless.

I've had family and my wife's family go through cancer and I can tell you that some of them that went through chemo and it just ate them alive. My mother in law was nothing but skin and bones and spent her last time in bed. My wife has already told me that she won't go the same way, and now that my son is getting towards being an adult, I don't imagine I would do it either. I've seen people go through it and die a hollowed out tired shell, I would rather go out being able to do what I can till the end then drag it out only to be a burden to others.

My question is where the hell did he get this cancer from. A few sites mentioned it was like pyo. An infection. I know the doctors stated that it was a very aggressive cancer. Before becoming a country singer, he worked in the oil fields. Could it have come from there? I am a vegetarian, but I do know he was a hunter. Could have been from the animals he consumed? My God! The way he just wasted away was very sad to see. He kept going though until the bitter end. It's hard to say if chemo and radition was the answer. I have a friend that was administered the HIPEC Chemo. He had it right after the surgery was done, 12 hour surgery. Many organs removed. Most of the colon and liver. All of the stomach and spleen. Maybe he should have gotten a second or even third opinion. I know it doesn't matter now, but something we can all learn from his terrible and most likely painful experience. RIP Toby Keith. I have been talking to your spirit over the last week.
