Oh my Lord KC. I commiserate with you that you’re suffering from a declining condition with a disease that has no cure known yet. Some cancers today can be cured, others slowed, and others can’t even be touched. My father had one that was slowed, but not stopped, and he perished of it. I can only pray for what? well if at all possible, that God by utter miracle takes it away, or enlightens scientists with a cure while it still can be used. And in all cases, an extraordinary measure of grace to walk through this suffering. I do not envy the position you’re in. In the long term everyone is suffering from a terminal disease called the fallen condition of life on earth. But some decline faster than others for various reasons.

I am very fortunate. I have a Chronic type of Leukemia, at least so far. My Oncologist gave me a 10 to 15 year survival time and I'm halfway to the optimistic number.

I fell out of Remission, even though my Doctor doesn't use that term, after three years. The Chemo was less effective the second time around but I'm somewhere between “this sucks” to “pretty good”. Let's just say I'm feeling my age now. My goal in life is to make it to 62 so I can get a Social Security Check. I put in about $300,000, so I figure I should get back a taste at least. LOL

My Father, 30 years my senior, was diagnosed with Stage Four Lymphoma a month after my diagnosis. After going through a month of Chemo he is effectively cured and living large at age 89. Life is a strange set of circumstances.

I figure that if the Leukemia doesn't kill me, Obama and the Democrats will.
