Interesting timing. I'm being treated for a sudden life-threatening illness, and the effects of the meds are similar to chemo with constant stomach problems and exhaustion. For the first time in my life, im pondering how important it is to stay alive if this is what it's going to be like. I believe I will get past this, but boy, it makes you think.

I have been reading with concern about your recent illness but didn't know you had a diagnosis. How frightening this whole ordeal must be, Sue. I'm so sorry about it all. It's a relief to see that you feel confident you'll get through it but that doesn't help much with your very current experience in treatment. Surely, someday medical treatments won't be as bad or worse than the illness. You have a lot of us out here in Substack who are worrying along with you. May you have a quick and painless recovery❤️

Until we've walked in their shoes, we don't really know and hopefully, we'll never find out!

Life is always worth living.. no one knows this more then you Trevy having lost a husband so young. One thing I think happens if friends or family fall ill is you just take one day at a time ❤️

I don't have an answer to your question. There was one in there, right? Maybe I'll just plunge ahead as if there was one...

The only response I have is that I strive to eliminate all of the shoulds and oughts imposed on me. I'm the only one living this life, this existence. Be totally honest with myself, but face what's ahead without thinking I need to follow greeting card sayings.

That is the best way to do it, I think: just face it.
