Cancer isn't war, it's evolution.

@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🤣

@heavyphil

I would just say that he had faster and better care FOR FREE than my husband in the top cancer center here in CA lol , and I told him that in one of my posts.

But, *sigh, we all deal with this horrible disease any way we know how , I suppose. He needed to vent and perhaps needed to go to the deepest and darkest places for some solace and find strength to endure all of this nonsense and endless treatments and side effects. Money can not buy inner peace, that is for sure. If it was not genetic test than it would be something else. : (

I was just worried that new members would loose hope before they even started dealing with this condition but some members actually got a kick out of it lol ! It only shows how different we all are "in this journey" (a phrase that he abhors lol ) and we all deal with it in different ways as we do with anything else. I often wondered how was he doing too and was glad to see that he is still feisty and kicking up dust ( I was REALLY worried about one of his dark posts) - God knows medical care needs MUCH improvement all over the world ; ).
