Jason Vale - Surgery Update!!!

[Jared Vale]

Hello All: It has been intense - here is an update and a video. The Video is very, very graphic. Don't watch if you are squeamish.

Jason had major surgery on Monday, March 23rd to eradicate him of the infection that was the result of mesh inserted to support his frame after the removal of a cancerous tumor, half a lung and some ribs back in 1986 (www.jasonvale.com).

Yesterday’s surgery included removing a rectangular piece of skin and flesh from his back all the way to the chest wall (approximately 6 inches X 8 inches). They removed a lot of pus and parts of his back muscles as they peeled and tugged the plastic mesh which was attached to his lung and ribcage. They had to chisel away some of the ribs and left the wound open to heal from the inside out.

Jason looked a little frail in the recovery room and spiked to a fever of 103.8 this morning and I was nervous. BUT……

I just visited with him in the hospital. When I got there, they took him for a CT scan. I was shocked to see Jason so agile and strong, walking tall to the gurney outside his room without any assistance; finishing it off with a little jig shake and wink to me.

He is currently recovering at Winthrop-University Hospital in Mineola , NY . The surgeons predict more operation to remove muscle from parts of the stomach to fill the hole, and skin grafts from the leg to cover the gouge. Please pray for full recovery and no mishaps in the months to come.

Jason, Can't wait to see you back to full strength!

I'm praying for you Jason.

I watched both videos. Man, that infection really built up some pressure, huh? It had to hurt like hell. I'd have cut it, too. When the air and liquid infection came out it had to feel tons better. That kind of internal pressure had to be driving you nuts. Was that all lymph?

I'm glad you got the surgery to clean out all the old nastiness. You've got to feel better after getting rid of that mess.

God bless. Stay strong.

Jason is one tough dude!! I had the same thing done for about 6-8 months on my back but mine was about 1/3 that big. He has a LOT of things to be concerned with but my biggest problem was after about a 1,000 changes (Or so it seemed) the tape (Big band-aid) made my back so tender I couldn't stand for them to take it on and off. The hole in my back is good as new now but it takes a LONG time. Tell him not to rush it or he will tear it back open and you basically have to start all over. He'll do great. Just make sure he listens to the doctors. Good luck Jason !!!!!!!!!

Jason has been through a WHOLE lot. He is one of the toughest human beings I know. I have never had the pleasure of meeting him, but I salute him with all my strength. I absolutely despise the fact that he was put in jail due to selling apricot seeds. The WORLD has no way to cure cancer with all their technology and they b*tch and moan when someone finds ailment through natural causes. They despise natural ailment. They punish you for the maximum when the doctors fail you and you take things into your own hands. It's a sad, sad f*cking world. Jason is my hero, and let him know that. The only thing he told the world was that apricot seeds helped cure HIM. To all the cancer doctors driving their cancer ferraris opposing apricot seeds, may they crash into the cancerous medians and die fiery, painful deaths.

Jason is one tough guy. Tell him I wish him well an will keep him in my prayers.

[Tim "Powerhouse" Parker]

Jason, please do what the doctors tell you to do. Don't go draining it or anything like that again by yourself. I know its hard to resist sometimes but theres a millions ways to get it infected again.

Jared, are they offering to use a wound vac on Jason to help healing the wound from the inside out?

No more do it yourself on something that serious.... please.

Hang in there.

[Jared Vale]

Hi Tim: Yes - they put vac in it yesterday. Jason is expected to go home on Monday. He looks good....

It seems Jason has a loving family. With family that sticks it out and puts others in front of themselves to make sure loved ones walk away from stuff like this I am very hopefull for Jason. Family and freinds are priceless. Every time you lose one a part of is also lost. Jason is a warrior and will come out on top with this.
