I"m sorry to hear that, too!

Dad died from skin cancer that went to his spine and prostate, mum has it now and it's gone to her lymphs and liver, my brother was just dx a couple of months ago. He's still Stage 2. We also have lots of liver, colon, pancreas, breast, and leukaemia / blood cancers in the family. I'm up next with my IBC screening.

As a kid I hated it when my parents made me go outside. I'd usually be enjoying myself drawing, reading or playing with my stuffed toys, and then they'd be like, "Go outside! It'll blow the stink off of you!", And then I'd be out on a cold grey miserable day, freezing and bored out of my mind. Feels like they were constantly nagging me to play outside more. And cry less.

When I was a kid, I'd walk to the next town, go to the bank to cash the rolled coins I had collected from finding loose change, collecting the deposits on cans and bottles, etc. and play video games at the arcade and walk home about 15 miles round-trip. I can't imagine kids doing that today. Just turning in cans is dangerous with all of the vagrants around.

The library used to be a great place to quietly read - not so much nowadays, people have forgotten to be quiet in libraries, and again you also have unsavory characters lurking about.

Some time ago I wrote an article about this in a scientific publications forum.

The danger of tumors has increased considerably.

I also received a genuinely annoying response.

From a girl who wrote to me that she wasn't interested at all.

I replied that ... what if it had happened to a loved one?

She continued with the same attitude.

Then she understood and apologized and asked for friendship: obviously I told her that I wouldn't accept either offer.

I'm very sorry, I read you often, sometimes you write particular posts in English which is difficult for me even to refer to.

Sometimes we casually meet on the music thread.

And about others too: I don't know what to say.

You mention so many.

I hope that in your case the tests are of full and perfect health.

Tomorrow I will see a cancer patient.

That he only had a 30% chance of living.

They treated her with 40 radiation treatments and some chemo.

Now it seems she is safe.

My girlfriend before the last one had breast cancer.

They removed it, but he didn't want to undergo cosmetic surgery.

So she had a lot of scars on her breasts.

He was embarrassed to even be seen by doctors.

One of my fondest memories is her smiling at me, with confidence, and showering together.

Then he solved it with plastic surgery.

When she was sick I reminded her to take her medication and she thanked me.

She too was saved.

Tomorrow I will go to a friend who has had throat cancer.

Now he has Covid.

We'll see each other anyway.

The ones you describe are very varied.

A friend of mine was saved thanks to British chemotherapy.

In Milan.

Then a recurrence and he died a few months ago.
In case you have problems, perhaps Milan is one of the cities with the greatest valid therapeutic possibilities in the world.

That friend of mine hosted many of his relatives suffering from cancer in his house and they were all saved.

Except him: what a strange fate.

Nowadays we talked on the phone every now and then, he had a great sense of irony.

And that sad look.

The last time he cooked separately for me.

Why I struggle to eat some foods.

I sensed he wouldn't live long.

I hugged him, and then I never got to see him again.

My brother is surprised by my gesture.

Because I almost never do it.

Sometimes I perceive people internally.

I remember my first ESP sensation.

My father was also ESP.

A feeling we had had together.

For you I don't perceive dangerous states now.

I mean I don't have any bad feelings.

I'm sorry about your brother.
I won't comment on him.

This article, "Kids need more unsupervised time outdoors, according to research. Here's how some families encourage free play.", does not explicitly mention Autism but the benefits they mention would seem to be beneficial for Autistic children, too.

When I was young I spent quite a bit of time in the woods and I think it was very beneficial for me.

Yes, many researches say it is positive.
The green color if perceived by the eyes would reduce various problems.

The green of nature.

It reduces the incidence of non-serious depression by 50%.

For me, I've tried both things.
I think I'm much better at reading a good book, or writing.

Or listen to special people.

I use the PC, I haven't watched TV for 8 years now.

I like the slow flow of streams.

Among other things it is healing for hearing (tinnitus).

I would like to live in a house with a transparent roof.

I love cats and dogs, and those who behave calmly and calmly.

That's very true and that's why kids don't go outside anymore.
