She is a wonderful woman. I have come to appreciate her so much.

My dad was on a trip to Hawaii for work (yeah, tough job! LOL!).

One of my career highlights was a three-week business trip to Hawaii, staying at the Hilton Waikiki Village. Got to meet Shaquille O'Neal too.

Many forms of cancer with virtually one hundred per cent fatality rates twenty years ago are now being treated and beaten into remission. My sister just went through chemo and radiation. It was a very rough passage but she is doing great now, literally a new lease on life.

As for RBG, she must have a deal with the devil.

I just watched a spooky movie starring Kelly Preston called Spellbinder. It came out in 1988. She’s really good in it. So sorry to hear of her death. Prayers for John and his family.

Look how they nipped hydroxychloroquine in the bud, even in an emergency state brought on by the boogeyman Covid-19. The powers needed mass death to push their plan and weren’t going to allow a cheap, existing drug combo to foil them.

“””””A conspiracy so vast as to be unimaginable...and nobody’s said a word. Many cancers, that were a death sentence 20, 50 years ago are being cured or put into remission. “””””””

Exactly. The conspiracy theories are unreal.

I have a wife with Stage 4 kidney cancer and a son with terminal brain cancer. In the last four years I have talked to more doctors than you can count. They talk about how they are learning more all the time.

My son is on an experimental drug and he goes out of state once a month for an experimental treatment. Even a few years ago someone with his type of cancer would be gone in a few months.

That’s the third loved one John has lost

Who were the other 2?

Why do so many still die from cancer?

Despite trillions of dollars spent on medical research over the years, how did one little virus kick the world's @ss?

True, Europe has medicines not yet approved, but the stricter standards kept thalidomide off the market.

Wrong. It was FDA bureaucratic delays that dragged-out the approval process until signs of birth defects emerged in Europe.

That is one of those myths that do not die easily - perpetuated by lazy doctors who just make stuff up.

When he was very young, he was in love with Diana Hyland, who was 18 years older. She died — maybe from breast cancer as well. I’m not sure.

All that money, yet, she died of what is usually a curable disease.

” I believe cures already exist.”

I have no doubt they do. I’ve worked in medical research and found there was no appetite for cures of any sort. Treatments is where the money is at. The approach was, “Control not Cures.”

Having had breast cancer, and looking back on my life then, the one thing that keeps rising to the top of the list is incredible stress. It’s not in my family history. Diet is good. Seems that the stress just couldn’t be contained and it exploded in the form of cancer. (Just MHO.)

“They were all on the pill”

Never was on the pill.
Got breast cancer at age 66.
No history in my family.

Yup. There are endless online resources (especially Facebook groups) for dealing with this stuff, both from the patient’s and caregiver’s position. You’re far from the only people seeing this type of reaction.

I was diagnosed stage 4 signet cell stomach cancer late last year, then of course COVID hit, but we’d already been isolated because of immunosuppression (FLOT). Most folks, including family, headed for the hills, but my wife’s hairdresser ... similar situation.

I don’t know about pancreatic personally, but otherwise feel for you. Good luck.

“I think breast cancer is genetic. ?”

That used to be a primary “thing”, but within the last 10-15 years, it doesn’t seem to be an issue. So many get it with no family history. The exception is having the BRCA1 gene — definitely genetic. Many women get the test and, if positive, have elective mastectomies. Kayleigh McEnany is one.
