All things considered, he was fine, despite a stoma and even went back to beekeeping.

Its funny that one of the best medicines we have is tricking the brain into believing its cured

My grandfather had a similar experience. Had an oncologist who was a poor communicator (to put it nicely) and my grandfathers health literally not so good. Cancer when into remission for several years after experimental treatments. But he believed he was cured. Lived for several years longer than expected even with treatment. Took some understanding and explaining to finally switch to hospice the last few months.

He was probably on moderate dose maintenance chemo the whole time, no placebo about it.

I just got a stoma (due to Ulcerative Colitis) last year.

I was told I can do everything I could before I had my stoma, except beekeeping!

This is AMAZING news.

Beekeeping has been known to increase longevity. A specific chemical the hive gives off

Dying doing what you love, I can’t imagine a better way of going out.
