@19sfca47 It does seem that many of us approaching, in or well into our 8th decade of life have had much experience with various forms of - and treatments for - basal, squamous, even melanoma skin cancers. To be honest, I've lost track of how many I've had. I only recently started a medical journal to keep track.

I can't speak for @bluelizard, but for me a sense of humor in this context - even through my current melanoma journey - means trying to see or express the lighter side of things even during challenging times to help ease myself emotionally during stressful times. I'm honestly not as familiar with the term of "absurdity of life" so I'm curious to hear more about that. Can you explain a bit more about your meaning of the term?

You've mentioned that leading to a type of PTSD resulting in social anxiety and depression the past two years; I imagine that must feel very isolating and scary. That can really impact your daily life and loved ones. What, if any, methods or interventions have you tried to help with this?
