Hi my friends, I know I've been MIA for the last couple of months but not to fear I'm back and just in time to vote. For who you might ask, that I'm not sure but what I do know is prop.205 is up for a vote and yes is the the way to go. The legalization and regulation of marijuana here in Arizona, it's not only good for the state but good for the people that really need it. So on this show I talk a little about whats been going on with me, my kids and just life's ups and downs and what is needed is some good old R & R then of course marijuana. So sit back and let me chat with you for a few. I would also like to send a shout out to Chemda Hennessy of Keith and the girl podcast and welcome her to the cancer survivor club. However her fight is not over yet, she still needs radiation therapy so please send her your love and help by clicking on this link "CHEMDA NEEDS YOUR HELP" Thanks my friends. Remember if your not laughing you're letting life pass you by... Peace! Love! and stay laughing

On the latest show of Laughing with Cancer we talk about the craziness going on in the world with all the shootings and would like to give our condolences to the families of the five officers that were shot in Dallas. Lorne Ahrens, Michael Krol, Michael Smith, Brent Thompson and Patrick Zamarripa. I would also like to give my condolences to the families of Philando Castle of Minnesota and Alton Sterling of Baton Rouge Louisiana who were both gunned down by police officers. And speaking of craziness lets not forget about the candidates running for president, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. The crazy train is coming and I think they're both on board. "Life after Cancer" Everything you're feeling right now is normal for cancer survivors. Recovering from cancer treatment isn't just about your body-it's also about healing your mind. Take time to acknowledge the fear, grief and loneliness you're feeling right now. Then take the steps to understand why you feel these emotions and what you can do about them. I also would like to give a shout out to my brother Rick Goeden (Lips) my concert buddy. PEACE!LOVE! and stay laughing

The new single RISE by Sixx AM is out off there new album Prayers for the damned VOL.1... ACE'S 10 my friends! So lets talk a little about NIKKI SIXX and SIXX AM and some talk about Motley Crue. Speaking of RISE (pun intended) a 64 year old man in Massachusetts had the first penis transplant in the US this month. He had his penis amputated after he was diagnosed with penile cancer in 2012. A new drug causes cancer to "melt away" in patients with advanced leukemia and a revolutionary treatment uses HIV to reprogram cells into fighting cancer, crazy stuff going on. It's also May and that's Lupus awareness month. With that said, sit back and listen as I stumble over my words and chat with you for a bit. PEACE! LOVE! and stay laughing

Lets just start off by saying DID YOU SEE MY BRONCOS WIN THE SUPERBOWL BABY??!! That's right the Denver Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers 24 to 10... So the Broncos are Superbowl #50 champs. This month is Valentines, or as I like to call it " I Love You Day" and also cancer awareness month. Male breast cancer is a cancer not to many people think about, but it happens. It's said that over 2,200 men are diagnosed with breast cancer every year and that over 450 men die from it per year. Most people have always thought breast cancer to be a women's cancer and like most men we're too stubborn to go see a doctor, by the time we do it's too late and the cancer has spread. For most men with breast cancer, when caught in the early stages, survival rate is around 90%. Breast cancer is rare among men but it does happen. So, what do you do to become that 90% if diagnosed with breast cancer? What are the emotions you go through as a man having a so called "women's disease"? On today's show of Laughing with Cancer we have one of the worlds youngest male breast cancer survivors. At age 24 he was diagnosed with breast cancer and from that point on his journey began as an advocate for men with breast cancer. He's the founder of the MBCC (Male Breast Cancer Coalition) and the Bret Miller 1T foundation "saving second base one boob at a time". Here to talk about his foundation and bring awareness to male breast cancer is Bret Miller.

Happy New Year to all of you, so long 2015. On today's show of Laughing with Cancer, we talk to a very inspirational man from Ireland with an out of this world story. Liam Ryan was diagnosed with stage 4 head and neck cancer, it was one of the worst cases doctors had ever seen, and he was expected to have only weeks to live. At one point the doctors told him he might as well be at stage 44 and that he had only a 5% chance of survival, that's how bad it was. Liam Ryan was a fighter and fight is what he did. Ten years later he ran his first marathon, post cancer, and wrote a book called "Cancer 4 Me 5 (after extra time)". So please sit back and enjoy an amazing story from a man with such amazing strength, courage and faith that anyone with cancer will know that it can be beaten. Ladies and gentleman I give you Mr. Liam Ryan.

LWC Show #19 "Rocky Road" With Guest Matthew Williams In this show of Laughing with Cancer we talk a little about where I, Elvisrico, has been. You see I haven't done a show in about 2 months, I'll get in to that in a bit, but for now, I'm back and feeling better about myself and life in general. I want to help spread the word about a few people I know that are struggling with their own demons called cancer, and the rocky road or roller coaster ride they have to look forward to traveling. This will be one of many stories of the fighters, the survivors, and even the loss of loved ones that are battling this crazy thing called cancer. My guest and friend Matthew Williams (or as his friends on twitter like to call him, @ lorddrachenblut which means dragons blood) is just one of those fighters and survivors. In 2013 after heavy weight loss, an increased difficulty in swallowing and keeping food down, along with severe back and abdominal pain he had no choice but to eventually break down and go to the doctors where they found a 9cm large mass in his abdomen. Moving forward to 2014, they would find out he was at stage 4 of esophageal cancer. Needless to say Matthew has been through the ringer, so with no further ado I give you my friend and cancer fighter @lorddrachenblut, Matthew Williams.

Show # 016 "Come what May Mr. Lupus" On this episode of laughing with Cancer, we talk a little about a chronic illness called Lupus. It's May and it's Lupus awareness Month! it may not be cancer but it can be just as debilitating. My youngest daughter was diagnosed with lupus (Systemic lupus erythematosus) when she was only 13. She is now 21 and has had alot of problems and complications with her disease. So we got a little familiar with what lupus is, how you can control it, and live a long life with it. Like any other kind of chronic illness, you must do your part to better your journey. Making sure you eating right and exercise is a big part in helping with the symptoms of any illness especially Lupus and cancer. I hope i'm able to answer some questions you might have had about Lupus, for those who don't know what lupus is. Check out the show and find out what we have learned about Lupus. I also talk about a few other things but (in a nut shell), it's mostly about Lupus. PEACE! LOVE! and stay laughing

Show #014 "PTSD" On this episode of Laughing with Cancer we get a little serious, we talk with my oldest son and part time co-host Erik (Gunner) Baisley and how he deals with PTSD. From boot camp, to being deployed to Iraq, and how he copes with his PTSD. He tells us what it was like in boot camp and how they tear you down and in his words "to dirt level" just to build you back up. He explains how he felt about going to fight for our country and being a solider ever since 9/11. He explains how a soldier feels when they come home and the mindset you take on from being in combat. From the moment he left to Iraq and we found out he was a rabbit gunner, his mother and I were both worried sick for his life. I cant imagined how he must have felt as he explains, waking up everyday and wondering if that day would be his last. Working with the Navy Seals and having one particular seal teaching him a lesson about situational awareness by choking him out at random several times throughout the week, until he was always on guard. Like most parents of Soldiers fighting for our country, all we can do is hope and pray, that they come home in one piece. However, what we dont realize is that even though they may have come home with no visual scars, they come home with mental and emotional scars. PTSD can lead to depression, anxiety, alcoholism, drug abuse and even thoughts of suicide. With the help from their family, other loved ones and even the VA, our soldiers can work through their PTSD, one step at a time. I would like to thank my son Erik and all the other young men who fought and died for our country. I'm very proud of you and i will always be there for you, love you bud.

Show # 013 "What are we even talking about" Once again Elvisrico's son (Erik Gunner Baisley) joins in as they discuss what has happened since the last show. Warren Sapp gets arested for soliciting a prostitute after Superbowl XLIX (49) and fired from the NFL network. 2 Chainz is mulling a run for mayor of College park, GA. Why you might ask? Who knows why, but he's got his "Middle finger up to the competition" Ahh geez. A follow up on 17 year old Cassandra C; the teenager undergoing forced chemotherapy in Connecticut and why she is forced to stay in a group home. Why should pediatricians be turning away unvaccinated patients from there practice? Do you agree? DOCTORS EXCITED BY NEW CANCER TREATMENT! We like to call it the "Navy Seal team 6" of cancer treatments, but they call it "Glivec" or ST1571. Last but not least, a 51 year old Nigerian man is purchased as a toy for a rich white kid. "What is the world coming to!", I ask you. This and much more on Laughing with Cancer.
