Kinda scared shitless

[lob1]

48. Hey, Tab. Good luck to ya. I kinda know where you're coming from,

as I've had cancer 3 times myself. I had lung cancer surgery last year. Throat and prostate before that, and all of them required surgery. I've not had chemo, but I had radiation treatments for 2 of my cancers. I understand being tired of the shit.

Someone upthread recommended medical marijuana. I would, too. Since I've had lung and throat cancer, I haven't smoked for a long time. I take the edibles. As far as I know, there's no manmade medicine that can make you hungry, but grass can. And grass really helped me with my depression. Before my lung cancer surgery, I got really depressed. Was it gonna get me this time? Am I gonna be alive next week? A bite of a brownie didn't necessarily get me stoned, but it made me feel normal again. I could make small talk with people, I could laugh at a joke, I could enjoy a TV show. Just like normal. I could not think about cancer for a few hours. At least that was the way it effected me.

I'm sure your friends and family are supporting you, and I hope you get well fast. Try not to let it get you down.
