58. Something to give you heart to carry on Xmas

Wed Mar 25, 2026, 02:33 PM

Mar 25

TEN YEARS AGO......, my wife was diagnosed with Stage Four, "END STAGE" GAME OVER CANCER........

The Medical community kept discovering a bunch of things, almost monthly, that have kept her not only living but functioning.....

Both of us realize the Medical Researchers can't keep what we call "Hail Mary's" coming forever, but so far we have had TEN YEARS more at this time.....Decent, functioning years........

Keep up your faith, don't throw in the towel just yet Xmas.....

( Side Note: Don't expect ANY kindness from the Incredibly, outrageously, extremely, Greedy Pharmaceutical Corporations)
