Today, it is 11 years since my CT scan showed no evidence of disease (NED). It is also 6 years after the five-year scan, my last one I have had. It is a long journey to cancer recovery and healing.
I applaud your tenacity to tame the “C” word scourge. My friend had pancreatic cancer and called it cranberry. Got to the point of even trying to like it and used yoga and mind control. Used cannibis oil for the pain at the end in Mexico where she went for non invasive treatments. Six months later after ups and many downs, a go fund me hopeful account to help pay expenses the dreaded cranberry consumed her frail body in San Diego at Scrips Hospital. One more loss devoured by an entity, a foreign body not even alive, but eventually after consuming the host it grows inside kills itself.
What else does the same?
Humans I believe are killing themselves . Leaving toxic waste upon the earth all for the guise of progress. Yet corporations refuse to clean up their mess. PCB, PFA C, Toxic gases and water tainted by industrial waste but still drunk by people who live near the factories. Love Canal still hasn’t been cleaned up never mind radioactive waste dumped in Desert or in oceans just off shore. Humans are the cancer.
I have my beefs with humans, and I have written about it. But here is the thing. There are no good cancers; cancer can never do good, as your friend with pancreatic cancer found out. And pancreatic cancer is one of the worst. Humans can do good and there are good humans. When I say FCUK Cancer, I mean it.
17 years ago I lost one of the most beautiful persons in my life, She taught me simply by her soft quiet non judgmental and loving nature on things about life that have changed me for the better. I witnessed her quiet struggle as she was determined to beat the cancer... So I am so happy to hear that you have gotten through such a struggle and remain strong. Thank you also for sharing how we all can be better stewards to the land and the animals, to care for life!
Thank you, Karafree. A loss of a friend and companion is tragic in my books. If my battle with cancer has taught me anything, it is that we all share the Earth. All species and no one can (or should) claim ownership of this beautiful and awesome Home.
Perry, as ever, your words strike a chord in my heart. I’ve watched friends fight cancer, and watched one lose that fight. It’s an indiscriminate disease and it changes those affected and those close to them. I totally understand your ‘f you’ mindset. The coffee and cake are a worthy celebration and perhaps Arya can enjoy a treat of his own. The song at the end! My mum’s anthem. I’ll listen to this and think of you and think of her. ✨
An inspiring battle to overcome Perry and thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you, Neil.

Totally agree. Lost too many friends, relatives and by their bed sides saw them go.
Well done Perry; I am sure it's been quite a journey and you write about it from a place of strength and acceptance. Absolutely worth celebrating.
Thank you, Joshua, for your astute and kind response. Age helps, as does the natural world, prodding us to see with a particular perspective.

Thank you, Trudi. I am.sincerely sorry when someone loses the battle against cancer. It is indeed an indiscriminate adversary. I stand by my words.
Ah, Arya, will get a treat. I will not forget to include my wonderful and faithful avian companion in my celebration later on today.
