88. Sending best wishes and healing thoughts

Tue May 14, 2024, 03:20 PM

May 2024

My aunt was diagnosed with metastasized breat cancer back when the prognosis was death in 5 years. She found that out 10 years later and asked her oncologist why he hadn't told her. He said, you're a person, not a statistic. You'll die when it's your time to die, not when the mythical average person dies. Anyway she did die of cancer, 24 years after she was diagnosed. She was 76.

I'm praying you'll get good news on the PET.
