Holy crap Jennifer, we are both in the 3 times club. Certainly wish that was not the one thing we have in common. I hope u r totally in remission and being followed closely by your oncologist. I have had the same cancer 3 times now. I grow tired of it. All treatment that I have received has been in an alternative cancer clinic as opposed to the hospital. 2nd diagnosis came at stage 4 so didn't have much time to decide what to do. Hospital wanted me to do 6 rounds chemo and 6 weeks daily radiation. Found the clinic and basically went off grid - had 15 rounds of chemo and went into remission. I'd be dead right now if I had treatment at th hospital bc one just doesnt survive what I had. That was 3 years ago. These last chemo treatments were in response to my CEA cancer marker escalating within a few weeks to over 100. Something was forming but no clusters or tumours were actually found so we intervened very early. CEA sadly after another 8 rounds of chemo is at 12. So good but still not normal. Back to the clinic to figure something else out. We were fortunate that we had saved a large nest egg to buy a bigger house so were able and still able to pay for all treatment. Since it's not done at the hospital we have to pay for everything. So far we've spent around $200k (yes that's not a typo!). But I am still here with my family and children. My daughter just celebrated her 9th bday and I was here for it. My family gets me through for sure. Some days harder than others but always striving to get better. Since you retired what do you fill your days with now ? I haven't worked now since the stage 4 diagnosis and that is when I found the SS game. I appreciate your gifts so would say if you send something just surprise me :) (and I will let u know if I ever need anything). let me know if there's ever anything I can reciprocate. Thanks for being a great friend and it's nice to get to know you. One last thing, Bronwyn is actually my daughters name. My name is Faith ❤️❤️😄
