kept because "it's a good box!"
I have that problem, too.
Plus we have a cat, so the living room looks like the UPS store or something with his empty boxes and pile of brown packing paper that he loves more than toys we spent actual money for.
So I get the appeal of a good box.
sumi I'm sorry to you have cancer. I hope the doctors are able to treat it quickly and relatively well.
I have a grandmother and an aunt who had breast cancer. My grandmother will be 101 this year! she had breast cancer in the 90s and about the same time my Aunt Wanda had breast cancer and she's in her 80s. both them had relatively good experiences with chemo
We have so many Amazon boxes.

My cat would like to talk to you.
Everybody, listen to me. Throw out all the boxes except one. That's all you need.
Break them down and toss them into recycling.
If you really need a box, the dollar you spend on it will be worth the free space and declutter.
Also, free boxes at USPS for priority mail anyway.

My cat would like to talk to you, also. You should run.
Okay, I have to correct one previous statement. Curiosity got the better of me, and I stuck my head in the door of the office (it's been closed since the discovery of the mold, to keep the kitty out). And yeah, I totally see why the Cincinnati Hoarding guy said it was in the category of clutter (even if it's "extremely cluttered"): Tim busted his ASS over the past couple of weekends getting stuff out of there.* (I obviously saw him bringing stuff out, but I still didn't get the impact of the office with that much stuff gone until I actually looked in the office.) It's still Maximum Clutter, but so much better than it was. Wow.
*(One of the things he brought out of there was a bundle of something that looked like magazines, but wrapped up in like 10 layers of U-Haul pallet wrap [because of course we have pallet wrap lying around]. I asked him what it was, and he said "Porn that I forgot was even in there." Okay, I asked why it was wrapped up in 10 layers of pallet wrap, and he said "I don't want anyone to go through our trash looking for stuff and find moldy porn and die from it!" He was 100% serious. I told him people who steal porn out of your trash should be aware that it might not be in pristine condition. But that's the kind of person I married: making sure that hypothetical trash porn scavengers don't get Aspergillosis.)

Reader, I giggled.
That's very sweet of him.
Sumi, I'm so sorry about your diagnosis. Hippocampus is married to the The Chemist, and he may be able to help you understand the pharmocological, and your options there, if your treatment plan goes that way. I've volunteered him up to friends and co-workers before, and I know some have taken advantage.
