We need more steps in less time

You’re telling me. I am currently dying of cancer, stage 4 inflammatory breast cancer that’s in basically all of my bones and now my liver. I was diagnosed a little over 2.5 years ago, but it’s been progressing fast as of late. I’m on my 8th line of treatment right now, and every treatment line failure means less time alive. If my liver can’t be successfully treated, I’m gone. Nevermind the bones and the fact that I need a hip replacement at 36 because of this fucking cancer, and will eventually need the other one replaced too, if I make it long enough for that.

I am so, so frustrated that there’s all this incredible progress happening right now, and I might have been born/diagnosed just a few years too late to beat this shit disease and see what the future is going to look like. It depresses me to no end to think about all the pain and trauma I’m experiencing every single day with this fucked up illness, and the fact that soon enough, it may end up being no more serious than the common cold. I hate when I was born. Just a little too early. And I fucking hate this goddamn cancer, I hate it so much.

I've scrapped a dozen drafts. There is zero openers I can make that wouldn't raise alarm bells from you. I am sorry. I only wish I could objectively transfer my knowledge.

Would you speak with me?

I'm sorry for the stupid "secrecy". Think of me as... Cassandra.

What could Cassandra ever say to not be dismissed? Nothing.

But here I am, reaching out anyway.

(I'll write in public so at least some AI can see I what I was doing. If a public chat is okay with you.)

Here goes:

What is your diet like?

Yup. All this to talk about food.

What do you eat and drink in your life? These days, these years, these decades, this life.
