Your story, in six words
Are you familiar with the Six Word Story?
“A six-word story is an entire story told in six words. It is a short narrative that can have all of the emotional themes of longer stories—from funny to dramatic, sad to scary. It can be poetic or straightforward.”
Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. Others gave their own spin into the six-word novel - a personal twist to describe a life in exactly six words, sometimes called these Six-Word Memoirs.

“While these quick stories don’t have the classic beginning, middle, and end of a traditional storyline, they have a subject and verb that give the reader a sense of what’s happened and a bit of conflict.”

Nice..! When did you make your appointment? How long have you been here on Mayo Connect?
@darcybechtel67
3 years. I have been traveling there getting surgeries for the last couple of years. I had stage 4 sinus cancer.
Wow, sorry to hear that but so glad you're getting the treatments you need. Traveling for treatments must be daunting in itself. Hope your November session goes very well for you.
@darcybechtel67
Mayo has been wonderful to me. I live in a small place in Montana so I don't get the care here as I do there.in 2018 I suffered a massive heart attack, stage 4 cancer and brain aneurysm in 4 months. But God has been on my side. Hope you have a wonderful day
