Hello, @jchantler

I am not at your stage of cancer. I hope never to be and engage in strategies similar to yours (diet, movement, perspective shifts) to improve my chances of preventing a recurrence of the endometrial adenocarcinoma I was diagnosed with in January 2023.

Just want to tell you how deeply you touched my heart just now when I read of your courage in starting that conversation with your oncologist that can be so important to you and possibly so difficult and painful for both of you.

When I read your reaction to hearing her say, “worstcase scenario, a year,” was “a year is a longtime -all the seasons,” my heart exploded with admiration and joy. “All the seasons.” What an important anchor to each moment you live (and love!) through.

I hope this life of yours, and all you are doing to care for your mind and body, including reading and sharing here, extends for many, many more seasons.

Thank you for opening my heart and mind this morning, jchantler. I am more grateful than I can express.

Wishing you well,

Gynosaur
