Man this definitively struck a close nerve, being a cancer survivor myself and having lost several family members to the same, this is a use case that definitively inspires me. Thanks a lot for sharing, hoping for the best results and sending all the possible good energy, stay positive!
This post resonated with me. Thank you for sharing. What a gift to be able to go independent to help care for your mother. I also have a chat project dedicated to my daughter’s cancer treatment, and it’s been extremely helpful in many of the same ways you shared. Also, Gemini Notebook has been a great tool for understanding published research on her chemo and other medications.
Thank you for sharing. I'm wishing the best for your mom and for your family. Hoping she beats it again!!
I'd be interested in seeing future posts on how you organize your project, if you're anonymizing information, and how you parse through what might be accurate vs not (a study showed that AI is accurate 95% of the time when given perfect information, but that drops to 35% when conversing with a non-doctor, source below).
I'm also curious how you think about submitting your mom's private health data to an LLM that isn't regulated like healthcare platforms. This is a genuine question as it's a risk/benefit analysis I've been applying to myself and other family members. 🫶🏻
my father's sister (we call this relation "bua" in Hindi) was very close to me. she was an amazing person. we lost her to blood cancer in 2012. the void is still there. i pray to god that your mom gets well soon. she has proven that she is a fighter... and she has to make some awesome memories with her grand kids... so she has to fight 1 more time. keep her healthy and smiling.
Sending your family tons of love. Sending strength to your mom and the rest of you who will hold her up through this. Thank you for sharing this; I worked in healthcare management for over a decade, and it's a bitch to navigate. You have plenty of resources, but please know that I am one of them that is happy to help any way I can.
My wife had a mastectomy on her right breast just last month. A friend had both hers removed, now stage 4, and chemo for life. Early stage treatment is vastly different from late stage; it's lots more expensive with severe side effects. That's one reason regular screening is so important.
⁉️ Do you know that there is a study that shows that when blood levels of vitamin D3 match those of indigenous peoples (or of people who are often out in the sun without sunblocker), the risk of breast cancer recurrence is 83% lower? (Really, it's true; if I remember right, it's a Canadian study)
If you're not familiar with the study, I'd be happy to find it for you; I have saved it, so please send me a quick email: Thomas-creatoreconomy.so@jig.ch
(This email address works; I just don't want to publish my real email address.)
I have learned that companionship is the best medicine. Please treasure the time spent with your mom. Seeking second opinion and have all the data on-hand are the keys to manage the medical journey right now. I know several cancer patients including myself have built that personal ChatGPT project. Best of luck to your mom and best wishes to your family.
Thinking positive thoughts for your mom, you and the rest of your family.

Thanks Serena. Sorry to hear about your daughter hope she’s doing better
Thinking of you and your family Peter <3
Take good care of yourself and of your mom. I love that you are putting her first and taking the time to go and be with her. Work will always be here.
Wishing your Mom, you, and your family the best of luck tackling this once again #fuckcancer

Wonderful you’re prioritizing your mom absolutely the right thing to do. Wishing her all the best and a successful return back to health soon.
