Makes me want to cry. Not that you are alive, but that you have to deal with it with so many to care for.
My family doesn't really have too much cancer in the tree--it's all heart disease. Which is fine. When I go, I hope I just keel over.
Which leads to another conspiracy question--there's lots of money in treating cancer. Not enough money in curing it?

What amazes me is the amount of money we have thrown at this disease and we still have basically a massacre happening. The cost in human suffering mental and physical is appalling.
If this were a war we would have given up a long time ago. The trouble is the aggressor does not accept surrender. So we just have to keep up the fight.

Thank you. But, I don't feel sorry for myself. My attitude has been "not like this....and not now." Having lived it, I do believe that spirit and attitude does a great deal in regards to beating the odds. I always viewed it more as an aggravation and a hurdle to overcome as opposed to a death sentence. The absence of fear (God given in my case) is a true weapon in fighting this disease. I never worry about my family's future as I bought a life insurance policy well before I got sick that will take care of them if I do die young....whether it be cancer or a car wreck. In fact, my greatest advice to all the younger people on here with a wife or a family is to get that policy....immediately if you have procrastinated in doing so.
