    I have countless stories of people who fought for years, only to die in pain at the end anywa

    We all either go quickly or in pain.

    My uncle lasted 40+ years surviving Cancer, through bout after bout. We had better early-detection, back then, and better treatment, and he’d get more rads or a piece cut out and off he’d go. His subtle wisdom and dry wit coloured three generations by the time he was done.

    Then covid hillbilly ‘raghts’ chased all the older, more skilled docs away, so we don’t have time for a proper treatment plan.
