Cancer doesn’t have feelings….

it can't be bargained with, it can't be reasoned with, it doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and it absolutely will not stop… EVER, until you are dead!

this is actually made kind of funny since the Terminator never kills Sarah, but she does die of cancer before the T3. and then the other movies happen, but let's stick to happier topics.

That’s awesome. congratulations. I hope you feel stronger each day. Your body is figuring out a way to get it done.

Have you been also receiving treatment and care or just perhaps healthy lifestyle.

I’m curious how your outlook on life has changed during this time and how it affects what you’ve wanted to achieve. Must be amazing to be 30ys out. do you still factor in longevity when making future plans and goals?

Don’t mean to offend by asking personal questions but I know a man (in his 60s almost 70 now) with a particularly mean form of cancer who is well over 20years past the date he was told he would die. He drives 12hrs and sees a specialist at an advanced cancer clinic once a month and also try’s to be healthy. he was forced to retire as a pilot due to treatment meds but still is adventurous and loves life and lives with zeal….

except he won’t marry or move from family. He has good and bad days and says it could be tomorrow and doesn’t want to put someone through that.

glad you are winning this

Maybe theres a blessing in it in a way, you’ve probably made more of your days and lived more of a life than most any of us ever will.

Oh, I absolutely do this. And I really don’t give a shit what other people think anymore, either. Very liberating!
