Chevrolet's new Holiday commercial...

I would take cancer over dementia every day. I had prostate cancer in 2017. Got lucky; caught it early, opted for radical prostatectomy. Still cancer free 6 years later, with undetectable PSA levels.
My best friend at the time had a similar diagnosis. He did proton therapy. Died the summer of 2018.
Watched my Dad go through four bouts of four different kinds of cancer over 14 years. Beat it three times. Fourth one was inoperable. But,,, my dad never lost his marbles, and died at peace with life and death. Really didn't suffer much until the very end. Even then, I would take that over what my mom is going through.
BTW, I didn't find out until 8 years after dad died that he had spent a year in Japan after the War. So, he walked around in the radiation from the two A bombs.

I guess we can all relate to this message in some way...my mom fought dementia for 5 years. She always enjoyed the holidays and sharing time with Karen and I. We miss her every day...

Nice ad.

I hear ya Lynn. I just flew home to see my parents for Thanksgiving. My Mom has been going through dementia. Same as you, she doesn't always know where she is or who my Father is. The worst part added to it is that she has glaucoma and macular degeneration. She's legally blind now. Has to be lead everywhere. My Mom was tough too. It doesn't seem fair for someone to go through this.
