I'm so glad to hear from you and that you're doing well. Life is to be LIVED and these MLCers can sure take up a lot of time and attention that should be going into living our lives instead.
I have the same reaction when I see my ex now - he doesn't look the same, and doesn't look like anyone I would want to date. He married his young girlfriend (she's like 18 years younger - however, not one of his OW, she came along about a year after we broke up). I feel kinda sorry for her, she's a cute young thing married to a gray-haired old guy lol. Meanwhile by boyfriend is 6'3", handsome (looks like Seal), 8 years younger than me and treats me like a princess
On the cancer front - there is exciting new research about using old drugs, that were designed for different purposes, to treat cancers. Turn out mebendazole - an old pinworm medication - may be effective against brain tumors! If you go to pubmed website and put into the search engine " mebendazole AND cancer" you will turn up the articles. Since it is a cheap, safe old medication, it might be worth discussing with your doctor.
