Ugh, I'm so sorry, Steve. But thank you for sharing that.

I have to confess, I just get angry now when I lose a family member of loved one to cancer, the sadness is pushed way to the back. It's all a damn scam. They're still using many of the same barbaric methods to treat cancer, all the while well-meaning people pour billions into research that does nothing.

My family thinks I'm insane for being angry. "Well, it just must be a really difficult problem to solve". They can't imagine a world where big pharma intentionally bleeds people dry over a few years before letting them die since it's so much more profitable than curing them.

God bless, Steve. I hope you and your family are doing well in Japan.
