    Beautiful video. This popped up for me because I watch videos on Stage 4 Lung Cancer, which I have been battling for 2 years. I saw that you are still going strong and making videos. Will try to catch up on your other videos.

    How you become stage 4? I mean where does it spread that until now your still here?

    • @ImStillHere1298
      @ImStillHere1298 ปีที่แล้ว

      You become stage IV when the cancer spreads to an organ. Bones are considered an organ.

    Can you please give me the name of oral surgeon at mayo. I have the same thing and I would like to get a second opinion. I’m currently with northwestern oral surgeon. But I may need some bone removed for a chronic infection from Xgeva shots I had in 2021. Thank you Surgery

    Offence & Perspective

    @AuntBAdam ปีที่แล้ว

    It's not how you fall it's how you recover that defines a win. I was watching an ice skater once and she fell every jump but what was so beautiful was that she was so graceful and seamless you barely noticed. Her recovery was beautiful.

      @ImStillHere1298 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a little bit of whatever I have, but always spinach (either fresh or frozen from fresh), frozen berries, sometimes yogurt (dairy or non dairy), a combination of ground flax seed, hemp hearts and chia, water or a non dairy milk.
