Japan wants to whitewash its aggression, but always remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing. Cause and effect comes to mind!!!

UPDATE
I had the results from my Thursday PET-CT scan, it is negative except for some inflammation of one lymph node. No change from six months ago.
@ iraira
Side effects from chemotherapy were not that bad except that I have no sensation in both of my feet. My right leg lost 30% of mussel mass due to the fact that the tumor moved on to my right hip and damaged the main nerve for the right leg, therefore I walk with a limp. But I can drive OK, which is lucky as I live in the countryside.
Thank you all for your support!!!

Posted in: Cancer-suffering doctor helping terminal patients die with dignity See in context
In September last year I was diagnosed with stage 4 B-cell lymphoma. The chemotherapy treatment has so far succeeded, Yesterday I had my third PET-CT scan and will find out the results on Monday. But future is uncertain, every 6 months I have a PET-CT scan and monthly marker blood test, therefore live one month at a time... It is good to know that there are doctors like him that prioritize patients dignity!

Posted in: Japan's smoking rates continue to decline for men, women in 2022 See in context
Vapes contain nicotine, but do not produce tar or carbon monoxide.
E-cigarettes produce an aerosol by heating a liquid that usually contains nicotine, flavorings, and other chemicals that help to make the aerosol. The liquid used in e-cigarettes often contains nicotine and flavorings. This liquid is sometimes called “e-juice,” “e-liquid,” “vape juice,” or “vape liquid.”
Otherwise, there would be no point vaping if there was no nicotine in them....
