I was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor less than a year ago. It is a tumor that has been growing inside me for at least 5 years. Had it been correctly detected/diagnosed 5 years ago, it would have been an operable tumor with a high chance of a cure rate. Unfortunately, now that tumor is currently non-operable.

Current cancer screening guidelines aren't sufficient and in almost all cases they utterly fail in the early detection of cancers for people under the age of 50.

I applaud anyone working towards a better method for early detection!

I am so sorry to hear that! My mother, also, was found with a tumor that we didn't know about for a long time. She fought as long as she could. She never gave up hope.

Doctors don't know everything. There are ways to fight, even natural ones. Fighting with anything is better than giving up. Hope is very powerful. Don't give up. Keep fighting.

Best wishes to you from one who has walked this road with another.

Very sad to hear that. Really hoping for the best possible outcomes.
Stay strong. I use your application as well, rescuetimer. I really like the logging it does. Can you tell me if it is written in C++ or is it mostly and mixed with other languages as well?
