2/2 Any immune system would act like a sea anchor / or like tying a trunk of a tree to your waist while walking along normally, be it a concrete footpath or along an unformed track.

Apologies for the gap since last entry, hasn't been a great week with learning WhāCSīna (Fah-See-nah) is more aggressive, way faster due total lack of immune system.

I've renamed my cancer so it's easier to say, yet giving it some respect out of some fear, that it's real, & because it will take me out~ From stage 4 cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma thru a shortening of all the medical jargon, & making an acronym work turning it into te reo

Two Years Today ago, living day's like our time is endless, and it is, as meaning we have no use by date, Yet, if we treat each opportunity as if we shan't pass by here again, our focus may be more focused. #RotoruaDistrict #wetland (C) #hottriggeredkiwi

Interesting names, and I've seen the same or similar in other olde cookbooks / recipe books of the same era. I've not chased up any details to date. Fascinating though. – at Rotorua District, New Zealand

It's been only a couple of months since a life determining sentence was issued to me. The acceptance n' reality is only just beginning to be processed. It kinda sucks, and cancer sucks, and, for my wife? who also thru no fault of her own, is struggling. It's hit her hardest. – at Rotorua District, New Zealand

Pōhutukawa Portal Thru which Moutohora Or Whale Island can be seen. A favoured location and one I'd love to visit as soon as practical for many reasons. Medical stuff and cancer in the way. #GibbosonWheels #WhakataneHeads #Whakatane #Newzealand (C) #hottriggeredkiwi

An end of treatment stage, ā kōwhai seed was placed on the tree. And today days later, still feeling the effects of the treatment, so it's rough, and have had better days. Hospice is coming tomorrow, should prove interesting. (C) @hottriggeredkiwi – at Rotorua District, New Zealand

These people, strangers, volunteer to help those going through nightmares unimaginable. Hamilton's Lions Lodge for Cancer is where the love of strangers, becomes a highlight of your day. Some will be weeks here, sharing tales n' tears, my time will be shorter, n' shortened

So looking forward to being home tomorrow. A tough week with more to come. I've been surrounded by people who I don't know; and, where these same people support in any, and every way they can, myself and others going through our unimaginable nightmares. 1/2

Yesterday was a struggle, end to end. I feel for my wife going forward, as her workload will increase. While waiting for the last scan results, the tumours are becoming increasingly active, with head/aches both from the multiple tumours and original cancer site.

Timeless Ephemerality a humans' life's past can be measured, as much as it's measurability, both, from within, and others. As small as a humans' life is, compared to nature, nature can have an immeasurable impact on our lives. Always worthwhile. (C) #hottriggeredkiwi – at Rotorua District, New Zealand
