@GaryGalka I’m dying of terminal breast cancer and your posts are about the only thing giving me comfort these days…the hope that I won’t just be “gone”. Thank you 🥰
@katievscancer@ThanksCancer Tracy. I have stage 4 breast cancer w metastasis to the brain. Been dealing w this since 2005. I have stopped active treatment and am in palliative/hospice care now. I am a mom and it breaks my heart that I’m leaving my children soon. Grateful I had a good life.
@emtrrt_cat I spent everything: I’m dying anyway. It was worth it until it came back. After 2 yrs as stage IV I’m broke, not able the live near my kids and have weeks to months to live. Nothing to leave them. No QOL. Worth it if you can afford it. Worth it if not so age 4.
@marklewismd Why I left my kids 🧒 in USA and went back to Canada for end-of-life care….its not easy in Canada but its not ridiculously impossible like the U.S. I miss my kids but I’m get care …for FREE.
@marklewismd As a stage iv, this is a way of life that I couldn’t accept it. Trading sick and bedridden for days on the calendar. It’s got to be worth it. It’s not for me.
@Lifeiskitsch I ask that all the time (stage iv breast cancer): what is it like when we are dying? and then answer myself: THIS is what it’s like…so far it’s just like living…
