I don't think any health related subjects are going to be deleted as right now everyone's situation seems to be being effected by the Pandemic somehow.
Just wanted you to know that you have my well wishes too, I hope that you can beat the cancer again and keep amazing the doctors that are taking care of you.
You have made a valuable thread here that provides a lot of helpful info to others and perhaps you have been able to convince a few hardliners to change their minds and start taking the Pandemic seriously and for that you should be very proud of yourself.
You having a support group that helps you along the way is very important, I on the other hand have many health issues too including continuous stabbing pain in my heart that seems not to want go away, but unlike you I don't have many people who care for me, as the matter of fact there are some people like my next door neighbor who seem to be taking a special pleasure in harassing and tormenting me (for whatever political, religious, and racial hatred and animosity that they might have for me) which has contributed greatly to the demise of my physical condition over the last few years.
So I might be a little envious of you.
IMO
Thank you for the well wishes...I gladly accept them all as well as any prayers if you are so inclined.
The cancer will eventually take me out if something else doesn't do so first (heart attack, car wreck, stroke, kidney failure, ex wife, covid, etc) and the death part does not concern me. Just want to be sure I have completed my mission/purpose for being here in the first place.
FYI, the well wishes here, privately and publicly, have nearly exceeded those IRL...my family and pseudo friends leave a lot to be desired with the exception of a handful of individuals. I've had business customers go much further in helping/caring for me than those I would have expected to...especially considering how generous I've been with those 'close' to me financially, physically, emotionally, etc.
I'm sure the reasons are multifaceted and I will admit there was a time that it bothered me that those that should care for me did not, but I have grown to move beyond those feelings due to meditation and prayer. I realized letting myself get bogged down in those things were the work of the enemy (regardless of a persons belief system, our existence in this life will always boil down to positive and negative energy).
Virtual strangers have taken me to more chemo treatments and/or operations over the years than family members have (I live next door to a primary family member and a dozen others are within several miles). For the record, I've got to say I am a pretty good person, even if someone crosses me (to a point of course) and overall I have treated others much better than they have treated me IRL. As far as my medical teams(s) go, I am a valuable lab rat to them and my situation has led to a couple major treatment protocol changes...they love me as long as I provide good data!
There came a point that I recognized those being non supportive and/or combative were tools of the enemy (i.e., negative energy) and the ability to compartmentalize and eliminate the 'damage' they were doing in my life began to increase. Please understand that I do not give them more credit than they deserve...the vast majority of those people/situations were/are low level tools being used by the enemy. My personal growth was/is based on whether or not I can forgive them and/or lift them up while minimalizing their affect on my life. Most of my prayers in this area now revolve around asking for them to be able to 'see the light' and begin their own journey to becoming a better entity.
In your case I will pray you will be able to isolate/remove/ignore those causing you grief or stress and you find people to interact with that will bring light to your life. I have met the most awesome people along the way when donating time and effort to worthy causes. Just delivering food to someone that is unable to get out for a meal brings great satisfaction many times greater than the effort it takes. Simply calling and asking someone how they are doing or if they need anything brings great satisfaction...even more if there is something that can be done for the person being called (rarely do they want/need anything...just knowing someone is there brings them some happiness). The challenge is, despite how awful things may be at the moment, to be willing to give to someone else even though I am hoping for a call.
I am very far from perfect, but I am forgiven...that gives me a great deal of comfort and allows me to interact with varying degrees of evil (negative energy) on a daily basis and I hope you continue to develop the ability to block out the negative...your next door neighbor seems to be one of these negative entities worthy of being ignored. Do your best to stop interacting with him/her...your health and peace of mind is more important than discussing politics, religion or life in general with someone that is demon possessed (at the most) or has half of your mental capabilities (at the least). The demons win if they can sidetrack you from whatever positive influence you may be able have on someone that day...even if it is just holding a door open for another person.
My apologies for rambling so long...
