(sigh) [View all]

I'm not eating much solids, to be expected. I don't keep my condition a secret but I don't advertise it either, but the few friends that do know are often offering me alternative treatments - "B-17 - Works wonders, dropped my friends marker way down" and that kind of thing. I listen politely but I'm not chasing every alternative treatment out there. Yet they kinda get annoyed when I don't follow them up (it's only $30/mo, what have you got to lose?)

It also frosts me to sometimes go to GoFundMe for health issues, and seeing people trying to raise $x to take a month-long spa in Italy that they heard will cleanse them of toxins for stage II breast cancer. I'd like to go to Italy too, but these seem marginal cure possibiliities at best.
