Former Vice President Joe Biden entered the 2020 Presidential Race this am. While Joe Biden has been looked at as a politician and a father figure in a decent light, he still has issues with his past and with the recent discussion of his hands on politics style.

Can Joe Biden beat Trump, well he may have one of the best chances to, but Trump does not play fair and you can expect Trump to be little, put down and attack Biden in anyway he can. Biden does have a problem with keeping his hands to himself, especially when it comes to women, as testified to by a few recently. He has said he is changing it and we shall see, but will the women of America forgive his mistakes in the past, or will they be like my wife, who says, it matters not what he says, it matters what he does, and she doesn’t really trust Joe Biden to change his old fashioned way of stumping and touching people. Does anyone expect an old time politician to be able to change his ways, I doubt it, but, one thing I can say, even a dog treats the opposite sex better than Donald Trump.

Biden will have his style problem and he will probably misspeak and stutter at time, but even on his worse days, Biden is a better man than Donald Trump, ethically and morally as well as a person. My belief though is Joe Biden can’t win the Nomination or The General Election, he will be compared as the second coming of Obama first off, ten add the issue he has with his hands on politicking and whan major problems arise for the women of America.

I think that America is at a tipping point regarding Donald Trump and that all the democrats are correct, we can not allow Trump a Second Term. I think Trump is a danger to the Country, it’s democracy and Republic and a danger to himself and not stable enough to get things done. He lies on average 24 times a day to the American People, he believes the Mueller report exonerates him and it sure as hell does not, if you read it. Trump’s corrupt and evil ways must be stopped before, he tries to burn the constitution and the Bill of Rights all at once. The man is unstable speech to speech, moment to moment, day by day. He is still fighting Hillary Clinton, who has been removed from the political stage since she lost the 2016 election to him. Why?

He is like a vindictive, little child Trump and that is not good for the country at all.He is narcissistic, vindictive, adolescent in his views and stupid enough not to listen to his own advisors too. It’s a fact, the Republican Party is going to have to face shortly, for even they must know, Trump can’t be handed the nomination again, it will destroy the Republican Party, and the Nation. They can’t win with Trump as their candidate in 2020, he has too many issues hanging over his head and they would be stupid or blind to let him run again.

That said, back to the 2020 Election once more I see, the democrats having a chance with certain candidates. The first in my mind is Kamala Harris out of California, the Senator shows promise and stature and is respected. I have watched her town hall segments on CNN and heron air comments on issues too. She is always on the morally and ethically, right side for all. I like her for more than that though, I think she has the guts and moxie to take on Trump, face him down and tear him down if he attacks her.

Maybe we may see, a Harris, Waren Ticket, which would be great for America period, because both Senators have a grasp of what is happening in the world. But the problem is, it is still a male dominated world in America and the men will more than likely not allow a woman President yet. They should though, because a woman President’s time has come in my opinion. If a woman can juggle running a home, keeping a husband, and raising her kids with a career, then she sure as hell can run America!

But Knowing America the way I do, I would expect a maybe a Biden/ Warren ticket or a Biden/ Harris ticket, or even a Kamala Harris/ Pete Buttigieg Ticket. Many may back Biden, and Warren or Harris can help him with women. The Harris/ Buttigieg ticket would be a great ticket, because you include all people that way. The LGBT Community, the women and the men too.Harris has the knowledge and Buttigieg has the personality and abilities as a leader of a city. Just my thoughts at this time, I like Harris for President and I like Warren also. Warren has moxie and brains in my mind and her answers to questions make great sense.

Yet we now see an Elder of the Democratic Party Joe Biden stepping in and hoping to make a strong run for the office, will he get there, I think not. We shall see, I think personally it is time for a Woman to take over.

Sanders is progressive and has some great ideas, but his age will be a factor as will Biden’s, sadly the choice may not be either of them. Each has their own problems and even through they can raise money and funding, no matter how much they get, I doubt they can win.

As the days and weeks go by, and we get closer to the 2020 Election Cycle, I hope this is it for democratic candidates, for 20 is too many as it is. Any Additions wouldn’t make sense and as it is the 20 wil have to be whittled down pretty quickly to figure out who will get the Nomination. 20 Candidates trying to distinguish themselves from one another on one side will confuse Americans and distract from a clean, strong race! The list will have to be brought down quickly and fall behind the one Candidate who will get the nomination and the Democrats can’t be playing games about it either, the Republicans and Trump will try to make an issue of it quickly. So the Democrats whop have absolutely no chance should back out quickly and throw their support to the nominee as quickly and strongly as possible, to help take down Trump. We can not afford four more years of Trump!

Let’s talk a subject at one time near and dear to me, Religion. As I said once near and dear to me, but, it changed at around 12 years old for me. I don’t knock anyone who believes in God, or a Supreme Being that put us all here, so don’t misunderstand me here.

I have a large problem with the Catholic Religion, they are hypocrites and liars in too many ways. On top of it, the Roman Catholic Priests I know of are phonies and many are arrested as perverts who go after children, they attract by way of the position known as Alter Boys and more.

I have seen since I was twelves years old too many priests removed or defrocked for perversions and for going after little boys and girls. Seems since I saw the first one in the newspapers at twelve years old, there have so many, it is a shame and should be an embarrassment and a humiliation for the Catholic Church, The Pope and The Vatican also. The only thing the Catholic Church has done correctly in my lifetime is switching their masses to english in America, so we english speaking people could understand it all. Sadly they have done nothing else, except allow and hide the perverts in their midst to hide well by moving them from one parish to another constantly.

Look I went to Sunday School, I even made catechism and communion and more in the Catholic Church I even have pictures of me in the robes back then. The first thing that turned me off of the Catholic Church was the perverism in it and it’s Priests. The second I could never understand is why females were never allowed to be Priest, that has never changed even to today in 2019 and it won’t, I believe.

Then I have the problem with three different version of the Catholic Bible out there at one time, unify them will you. Even if you do, it doesn’t matter to me, for I don’t believe in the bible anymore and haven’t for many years. It didn’t take me long to figure out how the bible or bibles, now out there came to be, did you, as of yet?

It was written over hundreds of years, by different people and then compiled into a book by editors working for the Catholic Church and The Vatican too. Each Verse is a miniature chapter and story told by catholic religious zealots and then edited and compiled into a bible they sell daily in the churches they built and own, using their parishioners money. They collect every Sunday or Saturday, passing the baskets through the pews as people obediently drop envelopes into it. It feeds the coffers of the Vatican, it feeds the Pope and provides for his protection and the Protection of Vatican City, not you or me. I know I will be called many names for writing this and I care not for I have already been called everything anyone can call me in my 63 years of life, The truth is The Catholic Religion and all of its offsprings, have nothing they could offer to me and haven’t for most of my life. While I respect those who believe and conform and practice the religion, because I was once forced to myself, I can not believe in the religion or religion of any form myself.

I watched my mother who attended church for over thirty years of her life, die from cancer in 1991, no Catholic Church offered a sermon in her name, no church came to her burial and blessed her body or grave, they don’t do it. They ignore people who were parishioners, and then go, why don’t you attend church anymore? Very sad indeed to me.

I know today is Easter and I understand what Good Friday is, what lent is, what Easter is supposed to be all about. I understand how Jesus was sacrificed and rose on the third day like many others do, according to the religions stories. But never has anyone proven it to be true and nor will they ever. I know all the religious stories and tales, and fables, sadly I just don’t buy into them and don’t think I ever will. Why, simple, I read the bible, I studied it and I went to church for twelve years, and only one thing meant anything to me through it all, a phrase quoted over thousands of years, ” God Hears all, He Sees All, He Knows All!” If that is the truth and no church, Priest or Pope will tell you it doesn’t, then there is no need for a structure called a church is there? For he sees all, knows all and hears all, that means it doesn’t matter where you pray or worship, you can do it in your bed at night, in a car driving down a street or anywhere on the planet like many sailors have all their careers and lives at sea.

Religion to me is a profit making organization located in Vatican City, and it’s leader is a man they Crown Pope and who sets the regulations and rules for all who follow them. That’s it!

The political mess in Washington, DC in the WHite House has now been exposed to the bright lights of Investigations and television news. The Mueller Report, have been produced, although redacted for the general public, even some has been redacted for Congress, whose job is Oversight of the Executive Branch and President. The Legal battles have begun now, subpoenas flying for the unredacted report, candidates yelling Impeach, and others recommending don’t impeach, his time is too short left in office. At this point, Congress has a job to do, whether they Impeach or not, they must gather all the information and investigate on their own, for Mueller exposed enough.

From my view, 2020 is next, before even a damn decision will be made in Congress, plus once they decide what to do, the Republican Senate would block any attempt to Impeach trump, they are too scared to Impeach a second Republican President. So it wil lnot happen, this time around.

The ineptness of Donald John Trump is highly visible now to all in America and the world. His inability to accomplish anything worth while is highly apparent now. He spews a lot of BS and assine ideas but not one of them wil be finished or completed before he leaves office in 2021.

The embarrassment that Donald John Trump is will stain America’s reputation in the world for many decades to come.His vindictive, selfish, narcissistic, mentally ill mind and personality has destroyed too much as it is right now and he wants to destroy a lot more.

Sadly, he murdered OBama Care or the ACA if you prefer that name, why, because it was created by Barack Obama and he hates Obama, not because of political differences but because Obama publically humiliated him. If it does not say Trump on it, it will be removed or killed is what he is up to. Just look at him standing at the southern border pointing at a fence they repaired and he claimed he built, he then has a plaque hung on it to commemorate it as the Trump Fence or Wall. It’s not his and it’s a lie like all he says or does.

He claims he created the economy and so does his followers, he didn’t create it, he is destroying it actually. His tariffs are destroying any cooperation we had with other countries, like Canada and Mexico, even Germany France and England are angry over them. He doesn’t care who he hurts as long as he gets his way. It’s not a Trump economy that has kept America going so far it is an Obama Economy.

He now wants to cut Social Security and medicare and Medicaid too. We wil be left with no safety net for our seniors folks, the new generation will go broke paying for their parents and grandparents health, plus burial costs. The next generation better look fast, because what will you do when mommy or daddy is still alive, need medical help and you need help keeping them alive and they have zero income to live on? I’ll tell ya what ya will do, you will be strapped with it all and buried in bills. You won’t have a savings to live on and retire on for yourself or to pass down to your own children, or grandchildren!

I have lived now 63 years, I was born during Eisenhower’s term, lived thru Kennedy to Trump now and never have I ever seen such a worthless, incompetent, foolish, narcissistic, vindictive, President. Yet his supporter sor backers still back him, it’s like they are blind and can’t see the truth. Sadly, they may not wake up in time to save themselves, or america. If Trump gets re-elected folks, you may as well bend over and kiss your asses goodbye!

He has never been and never will be a self made billionaire! His daddy gave him 16 million at 4 years old. He never served in the Military because his daddy kept him out of the service by paying a Doctor to get him a 4f rating for bone spurs he never had. He’s a phoney, a con man and he’s dangerous to America and the World. Zero is his accomplishments period. Name one, and don’t come back with the Economy it’s not his!.

I had that discussion one day sitting in a waiting room at a hospital recently. We were discussing Trump, and The Mueller Report and all that has occurred since it started. A Third man jumped in and started supporting Trump. The first place he went was the great economy, I asked him if it is so great why is GM shutting Plants, Ford laying off workers,Sears, JC Penny, K-mart and other stores going bye bye like Payless shoes? He said well blame the internet for them, and of course he wanted to blame Amazon, it’s crap.I told him so and then I asked him to name one other accomplishment Trump has while in office as President, besides the Economy that belongs to Obama?

He went quiet for a few minutes and when he spoke again, he could only come back with the economy and he claimed Trump has brought jobs back to America, I asked him where and show me. He couldn’t, because there is none. In the end he looked at me and called me a Trump Hater, and I laughed at him and told him, I don’t hate Trump, I hate that he is destroying America from inside. His reply came next, if you can’t give Trump credit for the economy then your a Trump hater and we can’t discuss him anymore. I laughed. It’s the same with all Trump supporters, you ask what’s so great, and they say the Economy, it’s not Trumps, he hasn’t done a damn thing otherwise.

If America votes Trump in 2020, we would have to be blind, stupid, foolish and idiots, wake up, he is a worthless President and dangerous!

OK, The Mueller report is in and Mueller said he could not prove any collusion with Russia by the Trump Campaign. There is a reason he couldn’t prove collusion, it’s simple, 37 Russians whom he indicted, he couldn’t get to talk to. The six Trump associates who were indicted, were indicted for different reasons for sure.

At no point did Mueller clear Trump of Obstruction of Justice charges and he left 14 prime examples of it listed. Here is my prime question folks, why would a sitting American President bother to yell no collusion, no obstruction if there was none, why bother?

An old saying goes, a squeaky wheel makes noise because it needs oiling, well Trump squeaked and squawked for over two years about No Collusion, my question is why?

Why did Mueller feel fit to push forward 14 examples of Obstruction of Justice towards Congress? If there was no collusion, then why Obstruct Justice? Someone explain that one to me!

I know, I know all the Trump supporters are so happy they couldn’t prove collusion, they are screaming from the rooftops and in every newspaper they can. Yet the truth is just what I am saying, if there was no collusion, then why so many instances of Obstructing Justice? One doesn’t work overtime yelling no collusion and commit Obstruction of Justice 14 times, if there is nothing to hide, do they?

I won’t go further with that obvious observation of the facts from the Mueller Report, for in the end Congress will dig further I am sure. What the results will be, I have no idea anymore, but I do know, Americans should think twice before re-electing Trump in 2020.

It will be up to all Americans in 2020, to open their eyes as to what Trump is and has done! If he gets re-elected again, you can bet your ass America will go down the tubes, we are already headed there now.

I was sitting in a waiting room at a Hospital the other day, waiting on my wife, who was having scans done for her breast cancer that has spread to her bone. discussing Trump with another person. As we discussed what we thought of Trump and the coming Mueller report another man joined the conversation. Like a third voice from the far right he told us we were wrong about Trump, Trump wasn’t guilty, I said fine he isn’t guilty of collusion or obstruction, he is guilty of destroying America, Obama Care and lots more. This man, started saying how great Trump was for the economy, I laughed at him, the truth is he inherited it from Obama and just expanded it off of Obama’s Presidency.

When I said that, I also asked him to tell me one thing Trump has accomplished while in office, just one good thing please. he went right back to the great economy, I told him again that isn’t Trump’s economy, it’s Obama’s, name anything else. His reply told me the truth about Trump supporters, he replied well then we can’t discuss this any further, I was labeled a Trump hater by him and he shut up. Sad indeed. When a President’s only claim to accomplishing something in over two years in office is the economy his predecessor left behind it’s sad. Trump has no accomplishments period as President.

So, Mueller Report aside, lets not even think Impeachment folks, let’s work to oust Trump in November 2020 with anyone we can. Lets get this racist, bigoted, narcist, out of office by beating him outright in November of 2020. We can’t get the 37 russians to testify and Russia will never admit to interfering in the 2016 election, but it is now proven they did.

Hillary beat Trump in 2016 folks, there is no doubt, just look at the popular vote from that election. He stole the election working in concert with Russia, he can’t do it twice, everyone and every agency will be watching this time.

I am with Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Amy Klochubar, and others, lets eliminate the Electoral College and let the popular vote decide our President. We must move on from Trump in 2020 or we will lose our country.

Time only goes in one direction, forward, as we all know. There are many facts you can not change in life.

The first is we all age, yes every second we are on the planet we are aging, and the older we get the less we have left for abilities, so while your young enough enjoy it all. Do what you love most, while you can, for there will come a time if you live long enough where you will go can’t do that anymore, too old, too slow etc.

As time goes on, and we do grow older we lose family and friends and again there is nothing we can do to prevent that either. Death does not always announce when it is coming, nor does it go by a schedule of any kind mankind can figure out. It never has and never will, life is indeed too short folks, so enjoy now while you can.

Another lesson some never seem to learn in life is alienating others is not a good idea. Don’t ignore or push away people, unless you have a real good reason, or you really do love being a loner. People Need people to socialize and survive, never forget the old saying, No Man or Woman is an island unto themself.

That said and told, the next thing to remember is never forget your past experiences, learn from them as you go and try to avoid making the same damn mistakes. Looking back as you go, can help you as you move ahead. remember your mistakes, learn from them, and don’t repeat them.

We can’t change the fate of others in our lives, nor are we meant to. Each human being has their own course to run, their own decisions to make, and their own ways of doing things. Don’t force anything on anyone, unless, you want it done to you, too.

Lessons are learned in many ways. Sometimes we learn by doing and avoiding, sometimes we learn by watching others and seeing what they do wrong. Always remember, what you seen and learn from it also.

Learning is a process we all go through in life each and everyday and second we are awake and alive. It’s vital to survival and it’s impossible to miss. So, always pay attention and be as alert as you can. For sudden things can come at you and you have to be ready.

Now, as a child I remember, dreams too. Dreams can be helpful if you can remember them, when you wake up. I used to dream of things one night and wake up the next day and the dreams would help me avoid things I saw coming in them. I know, many will say I am crazy, but it is true, my dreams were like forewarnings of the next days coming at me. I would recognize it from my dreams and avoid it that day, it works.

Even in the most desperate times in my life, the lessons I learned early on applied. So no matter what you do, look back at the past, apply that to the present and watch it help you form your present and future. It helps, even if you don’t realize it.

I am having a hard time controlling my diabetes right now. My blood sugar has risen to 223 and I have fought to bring it back down. The question is why and I haven’t been able as of yet to figure out why.

I am finding I have to watch what I am eating constantly and I need to move more to get it down, the other trick I have tried and seems to work is vinegar in water to drink. It seems to counter the blood sugar level and lower it, if i use it.

Currently, I am on metformin, and famotidine as prescribed by my Doctor. they have held me steady for years, till recently, why I do not know.

I have a blood glucose meter I use now more often when I feel out of whack so to say. My readings are erratic these days, going as high as 276 and down to 102. I am looking at diabetic menus online to help with the problem too. The question still remains as to why it changed on me and why it is shooting up so high, before coming back down again.

I get tired and fuzzy and feel like I am lagging and then I know my blood sugar is high again. The real question is how do I prevent it from happening? I get dizzy and light headed and fatigued from it all. I then go lay down and sleep for a while. The real question is, what I can take or do to stop this madness of my blood sugar level rising an then later sinking!

I know from family history that diabetes , can kill and i fear it may get me in the future. It killed my grandmother, it affected my mother and it now is effecting me. I have had strokes in the past, and I have a family history of heart trouble. So where do I go from here and what should i do is the real question.

I shall call my primary Doctor soon and ask to see her over this matter, and hope she can help me, without putting me on insulin, I shall see. I am worried it will get me before I can get help at the Veteran’s Hospital that is my primary for Health Care. I shall try to get in soon.

Diabetes, is deadly and can kill I have been warned many times. What’s next after Metformin and famotidine, is there stronger drugs to control it, other than insulin injections?

I hope to find out and get help soon,any advice from others with diabetes or Doctors would be helpful! Thank you!

I don’t know the actual numbers of disabled individuals in the world, but I do know that Second Life which is a Virtual World on the Internet put out by Linden Labs, is a place for them to have fun and enjoy the life they can’t in reality. Your pixel Avatar, never gets injured or harmed and if you don’t like what is happening you can just log off of it.

There are some problems with this make believe. world built on pixels. While all computer programs have problems of one kind or another the same is true of Second Life from a technical standpoint, yet in the end Linden Labs makes it a pretty stable platform for most.

I find that I see too many people trying to build relationships out of Second Life. Folks Second Life is a virtual world not a real world and it does not come first, real life does. Don’t wreck your real life for Second Life ok?

Second life is fun and you can build and enjoy many different sims in it. they range from virtual tours of the world, to events and to even pixel sex lol. Don’t get addicted to it folks, it’s a game and a virtual world period, and it is good to remember it.

People open club for music and dancing in Second Life and people dance for money and DJ for money, the money is lindens not real folks. Yet if you do gather enough lindens you can cash em in for real money. You can sell things you can make in Second Life for Lindens, like Gestures, Items you build can be sold too. It’s apixel world for al lto use their imagination in is all.

I have seen many get hurt emotionally in Second Life, for they get too involved with others on a romantic level and then get dumped or thrown aside because it is Second Life. be careful with Second Life and your feelings folks, some have even committed suicide because the person behind the pixel avatar becomes too real to them, don’t go that far, ok.

I like the idea you can build a place, buy a sim, or membership and make your own imaginary world and invite others in. It’s nice to make friends and not worry what they look like in real life! It’s a way that leaves you wondering, but also gives you friends to chat with, laugh with and enjoy.

When you have spare time or just for fun to get away from the stress and pressure of real life, Second Life is an escape valve for many. Just remember is all I can say, that it is a virtual reality not a real one.

Ok let’s discuss the high sports salaries being paid to sports heros out there. Why?

I remind all, that sports are not a life and death item or thing to do, so why are they paying these players crazy amounts to play?

No player is worth 100 million over a five year contract to play sports. I don’t care if it’s Major League Baseball. Basketball, Hockey or any other sport like Pro Football. These figures are crazy and unbelievable period.

I don’t care what their batting average is, or whether they can throw a million strikeouts, I don’t care how many yards a game they run, or how many passes they throw for touchdowns. or how many goals they score. I don’t care if they win ten championships, once you pay them the big money they all go down hill anyway as they age.

Golfers are not worth paying millions a shot for 18 holes of play either it’s crazy yet that is what they get. So why do the owners pay these players so much money?

I have noticed how once they get the millions they ask for, they lose their abilities and their skills and become mediocre again. So, why the high salaries folks to play a sport? I don’t think it is right, and I don’t care if they be James Brown, Mickey Mantle, Roger Clemons, or any of the modern day sports heroes today. Ya give anyone that amount of money they tend to screw up anyway and end up in drugs, booze or worse. It’s just a fact!

Stop paying them so much Owners, if you have a brain in your head you must understand your destroying your team by paying one or two players crazy money and other practically nothing. I wonder what led to where we are today in this area of sports?

Look, I understand the want to win, or bring a Championship home to the fans that support you, but realistically, it’s wrong.

This year we have Lebron james sitting home and Dewayne Wade too. Big money for sure in both cases. yet it points out, you can pay them all the money in the world, without the rest of the team working with them, no championships or even playoffs. It makes my point for me really, one person can’t win a title by themselves. Even the Red sox are proving it these days in baseball and they are now one of the most winning teams in Sports History and the Yankees too. Sadly, what many don’t get is this, unless the whole team works together as one unit forget it no championships will come.

That said, I say this to all Owners of Pro Sports teams. keep the salaries in line and don’t expect one player to carry you to a championships, it won’t happen.

Cancer is nasty, tricky and unrelentless. I have dealt with cancer in my life in one form or another, in many different people. it seems to persistent for sure in all the cases I have seen.

The first time I saw cancer was my grandfather, my mothers dad. he died of it in 1971, I was 15 years old then. He died in a Nursing home in Waterbury, Connecticut. The man was 71 years old and had prostate cancer.

The next time I heard cancer, it had infected the first girl I had ever kissed! She was 18 when it hit her, and it took her life, but not until she reached 61 years old. She fought it all the time, and no matter what through it all she smiled, she laughed and she prayed. It was a slow death for her, for it took so many years to finally take her. She loved music, and her church and her children and her pets and plants.

Next time I heard cancer was in 1984. I received a call from New Jersey. My real father had cancer and had died of lung cancer. He smoked like a chimney and I believe that is how he got it. In the end he left 9 kids behind when he died and a second wife. The first two were my elder brother and I, from his first wife and the next 7 from his second wife. I barely knew the man really, I met him twice actually. But cancer doesn’t care once it has someone it keeps at them.

Cancer would not leave my life it seems, the next time cancer raised it’s ugly head was in 1990 six years after my real father died, it took my stepfather. He died of lung cancer also, he smoked two packs of Winston Cigarettes per day. He was diagnosed in January of 1990, he died in October of 1990, yes 10 months later. It was shock to me and everyone who knew him, he went from 6 foot 1 inch, 280 lbs, to practically nothing when he died. The cancer ate him up.

One year and one day later in October of 1991, cancer took my mother also. Again, another one who smoked two packs of Winston’s a day. She died in my kid sister’s home exactly one year and a day after her husband. In the end we had them buried together in one grave for eternity.

Like I said though cancer never quits. it keeps going from one human body to the next and the next and it even gets cats and dogs too, and other animals. We had two cats die of cancer in the 1990s, in our home.

Cancer keeps coming and poping up for sure. 2006, it hit my second wife, breast cancer. we fought it with radiation, chemo and an operation. she was 66 years old. We went through Doctor after Doctor and fought it, with removal of all of her lymph nodes under her left arm. Then radiation and chemo treatments, finally sent it into remission in 2007. She slowly recovered of course as I watched her closely.

It wasn’t done though cancer, in 2006 I made a deal with my wife to quit smoking myself, I tried many times until I finally got Chantix and did quit. But, seven years after I quit cancer came visiting again. I was put in a survey at the Veteran’s Hospital and through a Pet Scan, my right lung lit up, showing cancer in my right lung. A month after being found, I had an operation and I lost one lobe and a third of another, to cancer. I recovered well and am still here today in 2019 that six years later and counting. I was lucky.

Yet, as I said before, cancer does not quit, in 2015, January, 8 years after beating her cancer into remission, my wife had it come roaring back. Her breast cancer went from her breast, to her bones. It has spread now into her sternum, her spine, her rib cage and more.

Radiation treatments to stop the spread were first. Then chemo treatments began, three out of four thursdays a month. They gave her epcid, decadron and then taxial to fight it. We have been going since they found it, Doctor after Doctor, appointment after appointment, we fight.

It is now April 2019, we went last Thursday for her chemo once more, and we got surprised. The Doctor changed her from taxial to Immunial Therapy, the taxial is not working any more for her. When we started in 2015, I asked how long such drugs would work and hold off the cancer, I was told 3 to 5 years. Well add it up folks 2015 to 1019, 4 plus years, and now onto the new Immunial Therapy drugs and nothing else. Her recent scans, showed that the taxi was no longer working and that lymph nodes grew back that were removed. The Doctor said one that grew back was enlarged now. So, what is next we know not.

She was given the new drugs, and we have to go back for another treatment in two weeks and see where we go from here.

Cancer seems to follow me and us as a couple. sadly. During the same time period we lost her first husband to prostate cancer also. We wait, and we hope and we pray, what more can one do, now a day!
