Comes down to time and distance for me. I'm aPC and was told 4.10 years ago that "I can't cured, I can only be treated." I was in lots of pain. The treatments have worked. He's my paradox. People in my family system have bad hearts and die young. Mom, gone at 47, dad, 72, big sister 55, other big sister 65, big brothers still going at 75, but been in hospital bed for over a decade. My goal was make it to 71. I did it, knock on wood without heart problems. So, at 72 I consider everyday a gift. I do have a secret. Beer and wine help me with my BM's. So once maybe twice per week I have a beer or glass of wine. My oncologist thinks it's good, it's helpful. But, I just watched Jane Goodall documentary and she's whiskey shipper, got me thinking.

Here's my sincere thought. Joy doesn't have to disappear from my life because of my cancer. Learn to enjoy my joy while I still can.
