You have a good sense of humor, and that’s important. :-) Welcome aboard, although I’m sorry that anyone ever has to be here.
FReeper Jeff Head has been an inspiration for me. He has gone to hell and back dealing with his Cancer. I always made a point to follow his journey. He is very gifted in recording his experiences and sharing them with us here.
My Late B-I-L fought Esophageal Cancer for over five years. I was with him every step of the way and watched him endure things I doubt I could have dealt with.
Watching those two guys made dealing with my Leukemia a piece of cake. I'm the luckiest guy walking.
Now I have a Cousin who was just diagnosed with an aggressive Lung Cancer. At first her Doctors told her it looked hopeless, but she found a Cancer Clinic in Florida that refuses to just give in to it. She has had Radiation and Chemo and it looks like the main Tumor is shrinking.
Cancer touches everyone at some point, either directly or indirectly. We live in an amazing age where Cancers are being aggressively treated rather than just being assumed to be a Death Sentence.
If I was diagnosed ten years earlier than I was, I probably would have been long gone by now. Some of the Drugs that I received didn't even exist back then.
That is why I love Big Pharma, they saved my Life.
