    Diagnosed in February 2020, then covid happened. I live alone and my 2 children live in Toronto . I found that covid changed everyone’s priorities and I had to go through it alone. I am tired of empty words from others. Is it wrong to feel this way?

    Hey Lynn, how ya doing? I have not logged into the site in quite a while, so I just saw your your note. You are similar to mine. Sept 2019 I got diagnosed with “pancreatic” got the the chat, you are deep into stave 4, and your prospects are grim 3-6 mo, if we blast you with the most powerful stuff we have, you have a good chance of getting a little more than 6 mo…. Umm I had a lot of old friends rally behind me and even in covid, despite us taking crazy precautions they stuck with me… Sometimes it was like the movie “Boy in a Plastic Bubble” but i got lucky, nobody I knew came down with covid but most of my friends knew someone who got it. A couple of my friends said work collegues got it and died of it. So far so good though…. I did a lot of stuff / non standard treatments in addition to chemo, the oncologist didnt like it at all, but my body started to rally hard, and today I have the upper hand on the cancer.. at least for now. Pancreatic is a really tough villian, actually CT scan #11 is on tuesday. So if ya wanna chat, by all means… I am in downtown toronto, I can chat about nearly everything…

    My friends find me a little “out there” but anything controversial I can handle, its funny how everyone now is afraid of their shadow in this era of “cancel culture” I am in the other direction, cancel culture is propaganda / george orwell code for double speak …. be true to yourself, then you can be true to others…. if that doesnt work…. “Fire in the Hole”!!!!!
