Are we praying he RIPs it or makes it out alive?
Apparently, the wages of stupid were too much for him to comprehend. Obviously.
Losing one's thyroid is life changing but not usually life threatening. Hopefully, the cancer was caught in the early stages. If that's the case he should be fine. He'll have to take levothyroxine, a synthetic thyroid hormone for the rest of his life. Best wishes to Dave.
Who is the him you speak of? If it is Palumbo, are you saying his thyroid cancer is the result of steroid abuse?
There are many different types of thyroid cancer. What causes it is unknown. There is no known connection between it and steroid abuse. It is fairly uncommon, occurring in a little over 1% of the population. Although it can materialize at any age, several types are more commonly found among people over 50.
Some voices claim high dose growth hormone could be correlated to forms of thyroid cancer.

Palumbo took a lot more than just steroids! These guys are human Guinea Pigs. From a 10 second internet search you can find a host of drugs that wreak havoc on your thyroid: [size=78%]https://thyroidpharmacist.com/articles/9-medications-toxic-thyroid/ (https://thyroidpharmacist.com/articles/9-medications-toxic-thyroid/)[/size]
Yes. Palumbo. And it is unwise to take all the shit that fool took. I was told by doctors I knew years ago that steroids help increase cell growth. Cancer is cell growth gone wild. This isn't Deadpool where they look for dormant mutant genes, this is reality where stupid people do stupid things and hope to be more than they are.
Palumbo is the very personification of stupid gone stupider.
I have to take your word regarding what Palumbo abused to enhance muscle growth because he is not someone I've paid much attention to over the years. I never aspired to have a physique like his either when he was in his prime or now. Apparently, he has been somewhat open about his misuse of steroids etc. since he'd have to be the primary source for this information.
The fairly recent inclusion of men's fitness in bodybuilding competitions seems unappreciated by some folks according to what I've read on Getbig. What is funny about that is these guys appear to be much healthier then their monster sized counterpoints. They also have physiques which hark back to days of old...before the 80's. Back in those days anabolic steroids were legal in the U.S. with a doctor's prescription. My belief is that their illegality has encouraged misuse because users self dose. This has led to practice of "if a little is good, more is better" which is stupid.
I never liked Dave, but i wish him well.
If this was solely based on abusing Thyroid meds throughout his "career" we will never know.
It's not very common in men and i can't think of another BBer that went through this.
If he was losing a kidney, i'd tell him to fuck off.
Could it be from using/abusing T3 during his competitive days?
Worth it.
Probably is well worth it to him. He's making a damn good living doing what he loves as a result of his excessive bodybuilding career. So he'll take T3 the rest of his life. Small price to pay. Hopefully the rest of his health holds up and he can enjoy raising his children.
Damn good living? Do you think he's making a good buck with videos and supplements?
I for one can't believe Dave is still with us, back in the 90s at golds, it was a toss up between him and Curtis for the most purple skin, Curtis tapped out over twenty years ago, Dave deformed sac he might look is still with us.
He appears to have multiple revenue streams which appear to be affording him a very enjoyable lifestyle. No sure what the point of your question is. You are coming off a bit catty if not jealous. The younger generation might go so far as to say you are hating.
No, I'm being objective. You're the one who said he is making a damn good living. Just wondering if that can happen through videos and supplements? Maybe it's factual he's living large and maybe he's not. No, I'm not jealous. I made enough money to retire at 52 and I just work part now. No, I'm not remotely rich but I'm doing alright. All I can say to you calling me catty, jealous and hating is I'm rubber and you're glue and what every you say bounces off of me and sticks to you. I will throw in, I know you are but what I'm I?
Anyway I wish him the best of health and a full recovery.
Can you translate this please?
As deformed as he might look is still with us, the reference was also to Curtis Leffler, a big guy from hawaii you probably already know who was training at golds venice the same time as Dave mid 90s. The purple skin on both of them looked like the body was just screaming for oxygen. Curtis super nice guy as other hawaii and venice guys on here already know, shame he passed away so soon, strong guy. Golds venice in the 90s was something else. The training atmosphere was unbelievable.

Iodine . Just overlooked that one right columbo?

20 years ago:
(https://de.fitness.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2859&d=1249562921)
Both still with us, close to 300 pds and in good health (one actually became father 2 years ago). Never judge a book by its cover.
I’m certain that Dave is making a ton of money through his supplement line.
Stretch marks are par for the course for most of us (well I'm guessing so), and he makes a deliberate effort to be lean after f**king his heart up - which is understandable
But the main 'leftovers' as far as I can see look to be things like his hands and feet - wonder if it's a cartilage/GH thing?
He has a little over 3 million dollars...most of it from the hey days of RX Muscle when they had advertisers paying 10-15k a month

Where do you get these numbers?
4.2 million! Wow, he is living large. Even if one million is just the value of his house.
Christ - wonder what Cutler's blood pressure is there..? :oI think that pic was taken shortly after he got out of the tanning bed.
Supplements make big money.
He's been active in that game and the whole RxMuscle thing for years.
For a few years he was very popular with supplements. Probably made most of during a few years and was smart with his money.

How much was made selling drugs (including fake gh) and how much is stashed away?
:D
Honestly, I doubt it's much effort on his part. This is how he looked before bodybuilding, judging by that one running pic.
He has ver favorable genetics for low bodyfat and obviuosly crazy response to drugs/training/food. Never got fat even force feeding McDonalds.
I still remember Bob Chick's response here to Dave's off-season diet, could he see anything wrong with it? "What's right about it?"
Bob Chic is a cunt.
Bob Chic is a cunt.
I like you Taffin. You can come over to my house and fuck my sister.
You're a gentleman. Just let me know when she's got 15/20 seconds free

You young people...LOL! ;D
Old VHS tape:He looked freaky ,,what the hell did he do in those yrs after that blew out his physique from this look.he had hair and decent overall look.&t=147s
"The only time you will hear Shawn Ray complimenting Dave"
"Dave’s favorite pose was the rear glute spread😳"
"He ain't beating up anybody, he is a former medical student"
😆😆

Almost every fellow had hair at some point. Thyroid disease sometimes causes hair loss. So does genetics and male pattern baldness. Even back then, Palumbo had a big belly.
Stamina is a great thing. They should learn to enjoy it while they got it. ;DStamina gets better as you get older, almost too good, that is if you can get it up.
As for those saying T3 usage when competeing. He has always talked about how fast his metabolism was, showed pics of him as a very scrawny teen runner, mentioned all the shit he had to eat to maintain let alone add weight, and is still vascular as fuck. He might have tried it for a show, but I believe he is one of very few pros/top national competitors that never used it.
Has Dave said he never used it? Doubt it. He's known to start all his clients on 1 Cytomel a day and increasing as the weeks go by to like 100mcg. At least that's what I've read, someone here knows better I'm sure. Nasser said Dave used 12 Cytomel a day, but we know Nasser was a BSer but there's no doubt he used it. You don't put everyone on it if you never used it yourself.Dave talks shit most of the time.
Dave talks shit most of the time.
The worst thing Dave has done is recently when he apologized for racism. It shows weakness of character. Maybe we shouldn't judge as we aren't in his position but it doesn't sit well for many.he´s only worried about money.
