" I wish I did not take the chemo and rads." Is alive and kicking. The treatments made me deathly ill for over a year. My cousin Chris was killed in a truck crash 3 months after I finished treatment and my first thoughts were what I would give to trade places with him. Just CRASH ! Gone. No tests, no meds, no anticipation. My thyroid is dead now. I expected some improvement, but nope, a third of my hair and eyelashes fall out about every 3 months. My bones are brittle, and a fall in Nov shattered my pelvis. I'm not getting enough exercise, and getting the weight off from bed and Physical therapy is dammed near impossible. My formerly perfect complexion is getting splotches and scaly patches, and those ugly wrinkles on my upper lip after a lifetime of no straws, no whistling, no sun and no cigs.

Then there is the daily Trump. I want him to drop stupid comments and lies to once a day. I've been in a bad mood since Nov '16. Now I get rage every evening from the news. Oh, yes, this is not what I consider living.

It is painful to read what you wrote...I hope you were just being melodramatic and didn't mean what you wrote.
Live to enjoy as many days as possible. You can make others happy as well as yourself. .

Before the turn of the previous century, no drug was illegal. Mother's rubbed a baby's gums with opium tincture. Marijauna was prescribed for asthma. Heroin was invented to cure opium addiction. Midwives did most of the delivering of babies with better stats than today's. Abortion was not illegal, either.

Hope things are going as well as they can for you. I commiserate with you on the state of our country.

I’m hoping November brings us some some great news ? and your recovery stays on track.

I hope all is going well for you now.
