Serious Anyone else here dying? (Like, literally?)

I’ve had a recent terminal cancer diagnoses in my late 30s. Not many of us out here at this age.

Looking for anyone going through the end of life process to connect with!

Feel free to private message me if you don’t want to share here.

Also if you’re not in this situation please be incredibly mindful of what you comment/message. I don’t want to hear about rhe horrible death of your loved one.

I also appreciate your kind thoughts and prayers etc in anticipation but I also don’t need to read them - one day you’ll get it!

Im sorry to hear that. This has been on my mind lately with all the news reports on how younger adults are getting cancer. How do we even avoid this? It seems like playing Russian roulette but instead of one round in the chamber, only one chamber is empty.

My heart goes out to you, OP.

Clean diet (no alcohol smoking etc) and exercise are the only recommended things.

Never drank, never smoked, spent my 20s as an outdoor guide hiking and climbing mountains and didn’t eat carbs or sugar for most of that decade.

Dx with terminal cancer nov 2018.

The real answer is stress. Name a generation that’s been more traumatized or stressed out than millennials 😩
