Real sorry to hear your bad news. Again, for what its worth.
You know how science has great hopes about stem cells. From those anything is possible it seems. Well, spiritually there is a place of regeneration like that from which anything is possible. Go back to innocence, when offense washed over you like rain and nothing prevented you from loving everyone. I completed a great meditation on this.

Christ's signature upon all his creations is that the first shall be last and the last shall be first in all things. Old people return to being like a child. I was the most resilient of kids. Full of charity even though I was being seriously emotionally abused. I recently thought that if I returned to that state it would complete the Christ signature upon me. What I was first is what I will be last. So I chose to forgive all and let all offense slough off without effect.

I saw my brother at my moms place soon afterward and he was all up in my face trying to erase the grace and peace he saw in me. Usually this kind of thing could set me off. I was perfectly composed and nothing he could do riled me even slightly. It was perfect.

Maturity is a choice. I thought emotions were all powerful but lately I have discovered they are not. I was never taught about maturity. DAMN. Free will is greater than our emotions. So hate can always be subjected to free will. I think you can fill in all the blanks.

Like I said for what it's worth. I wish you well.

Hi E,

I don't have time to watch all the clips but I have looked death right in the face, close up.

I was extremely fortunate, (the odds were pretty bad), to have survived my ordeal, not only did I survive but didn't have any of the very serious expected complications.

My experience changed my life.

Yup. I just did the math. 83% chance of life so far. I'll improve that any way that I possibly can with any medicine or miracle I see fit.

I am a cancer survivor. Nine years out. My year of treatment was my year from hell yet with what I learned and how it changed me I probably would not change things, though I do not want to go through something like it again. If you would like to chat about things feel free to send me a PM.

For support and advocacy I recommend you check out the resources of the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

I'm sorry to hear it, Ezias. My thoughts and best wishes are with you.
