A Funerval!

Tea at the Willard
Not too long ago, on the Inspire message board for Metastatic breast cancer, someone posted that they recently had a "Funerval."  She dubbed the term, and said that as most people would really love to attend their own wakes, why not have a "funerval" to appreciate them while they were still alive? What a great idea!

The guest of honor gave the list to someone who organized it, and it was a big party for everyone to enjoy and appreciate the honored one...in this case, someone who was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer.  The cancer patient didn't do anything, the friends all pitched in and they just had a big party.

What a great idea...and you could even hold anniversaries...although, I think doing it for 15 years is a little long....I DO love a party.  This photograph is the closest to a party I have...it's Maggie, me and Lourdes having tea at the Willard Hotel.  Maggie is a breast cancer survivor of 8 years, and Lourdes so far is cancer free, although her husband had breast cancer and her mother died of advanced breast cancer....and Lourdes is Maggie's sister.

  2. Yes, Herpes simplex Viruses and every other diseases such as HIV/AIDS, CANCER, PARALYSIS, HPV, FIBROIDS, INFERTILITY,(INFECTIONS), and every others are curable. Best known to my is with the use of Herbal Remedies. I have said it before and still saying it Again, being an HSV carrier or any other isn't a death sentence. living on drugs to survive. Can Hinder you from many activities I can never be part of that to hide the truth. To be honest with you reading me again, it will be so disastrous if the rate of increase of sickness still exist and nothing is done yet for the physician therapist to anouced thier cures.

  3. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
