This thread makes me wonder just how many here are in this battle. For me and I am sure for many as well. You have learned to accept your personal battle. But, the ones you love, makes me so sad. For me it is now 8yrs. of 7 surgeries, 93 radiations and 2 clinical trials, but I am STILL here. I am not cured, but living with cancer. I hope they can find that therapy, pill or procedure to get you allot more time.
Black humor....At the local restaurant where the guys gather for lunch, it was brought up how the government may treat cancer patients if they are over 75 or so and if we have social medicine they just may not be able to treat you. Of course as a patient, I piped up and said," that is why I chose to get my cancer early!" The group went quiet and then all started laughing and all mentioned that I had a good sense of humor about it. Just what else you going to say?
