Why i can't give up

Several reasons. When I bought my subaru in 2013 I was told I could get 300k miles out of it. So far just made 150k. I bought led light for house that last 10 years, so far only 1 year of use. I have a 2year supply of food that hasn't been touched. I'm holding out that my state will vote in recreational Marijuana (utah...may be a while). Just put 50 year shingles on house. Youngest grandson has discovered gaming so he and I are now getting latest gaming station. I have 2 cruise credits to use in next 4 years. So I have places to go, people to see, things to do. This cancer stuff is just an annoyance. Mahalo y'all!

Sounds like my plans.. Had thumb rebuilt and told Dr.s it was on my 10 yr plan, same with orchiectomy. This year surgery on little finger which hadn't healed after a year from burn, this is on 8 yr plan as 2 year into 10 yr plan. All this after 12-18 mo. prognosis acct horrible pathology report and rising PSA after prostatectomy 3 1/2 years ago. Also need to help raise last grandson born to my sons girlfriend 4 mo. after he was killed . He's cute at three months and I like his mom. Life needs to go on for a while even with aPca.

Wish I had your outlook, I'm ready to pull the trigger. This stuff sucks!

Try and remember there is someone out there that needs to hear your story. It does suck, but so do many other diseases.hang on and fight on. You and your life are worth it.

If you're going to pull the trigger point it at my ex-wife first...

Now Francis, just think if you do pull the trigger you'll be missing all of my humor and I thrive on a large audience....So put that rocket back in your pocket....and chill out!!!

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Everyone has their own tolerance level. Everyone's cancer is different as is their response to treatment. I hope you start to feel better and your situation improves. Tell your doctor, he might be able to help you through this despair with different treatment. All may not be lost. This feeling could be temporary. We are in hospice care now as treatments have failed my husband... they strive for your comfort in every way. Hopefully, you may still have options. Good luck.

So very true Maleko808! We all have many reasons to keep fighting. I as well have a lot of travelling that is currently on hold due to COVID. Cheers!

Good attitude brother .. check out oculus quest if you are thinking game machines. Immersive VR gaming is a whole next level better. Check it out on YouTube and the web. Go to a local shop and try it out first. After the dazzling stun job it will do on your head wears off, you’ll want one. The new model two is just out now ...it’s half what I paid for my model one and way upgraded.

Just say’in
