I did read his posts here and I did read one that we are discussing now : ))). He is amazing writer and great person too. However his and mine experiences and attitudes toward cancer and life (and my husband's even more so) are completely different. For that reason I could not make any connection or correlation to his narrative but it has nothing to do with his quality of writing, wittiness and depth of personal experience. I like and respect his talent, it is just that some of the articles are too dark for my taste ... Again, nothing wrong with that, just not my cup of tea. 🤷♀️

@surftohealth88 I texted Hans a few times when he would complain about the less than stellar care he though he was getting in Canada.
It happened to be excellent care, BTW, and no different from what would have been offered in the U.S.
But he insisted that without proper genetic testing, his treatment was ‘boilerplate’ and run of the mill. However, he flatly refused - multiple times - to put his hand in his pocket and PAY for these tests which he insisted were critical to his treatment. And they were not: his treatment would have been the same no matter what!!
If you see his profile and read his resume on Substack, you quickly understand that this is a very intelligent, highly
$ucce$$ful man, yet all he could do was bemoan his fate as a mere number in a socialized medical system.
He would never respond to my direct question: ‘Why don’t YOU pay for it?’ And instead answer me with his incredibly wry prose touching in everything but my simple question!
Don’t get me wrong, I really like the man and admire his intellect and wit, but jeez, stop bitching already and DO something if you’re not happy with your treatment, right?
I really hope that somehow he gets wind of this post and decides to make a cameo appearance back on the forum…I will happily allow myself to be verbally ass kicked by him just to see how the cheapskate SOB is doing🤣

@surftohealth88 I'm sure during Hans journey, he's had plenty of doctors who have said, "Oh no, it's Hans again. Get ready." I agree, I don't see the world the same way, but I appreciate folks that state their truth and actually try and shake things up....even if its just your thinking. Most times, very thought provoking.
