Cancer: Should we stop trying to cure it?

As our population ages, the question is not if we will encounter this illness in our lives, but when. Is it time we stopped fighting and learned to live with it?

    I'm not sure I would accept chemo if I had it. Just make me comfortable. I guess it's a matter of balancing the odds, but I wouldn't accept very painful treatment just to increase the odds of surviving only a little, or extend life by only a few months. What we should allow is using heroin for pain management, and not worrying about terminal or very sick people getting addicted.

    Oh, and move me to a hospice next to some Chinese people, so I can piss them off.

    My best friend died from cancer a few years ago.
    Spent the last 2 months in the hopital fighting for her life.
    She suffered tremendously because of that fight too.

    She could have saved herself a lot of suffering, but giving in and letting yourself go is a decision I hope I never have to make. :(

    A friend of mine has lymphoma. When it was diagnosed, they said that she had 20% chance to get through this. She just had her 7th treatment. 7 down, one to go.
    The lady in the story is right. "this is our new normal".

    She wanted to give up, before she was treated, knowing what she had ahead of her. But also, she knew she doesn't have the choice. Death is not an option without a fight.

    Damn it Khar ! Your links are as long as your posts ! :D

    I possibly couldn't read through that at this time of the day. As for the OP, should we stop trying to cure it. NO.

    I just had one of our admins on another forum pass away just before Xmas and also saw my best friends mom pass away from it. I say no.

    Like Farquaad and his big castle, I think Khar is compensating for something. 8O

    I'd like to die in a badass/fitting manner, or in my sleep.

    Now boarding the "raydan train of thought!" From masturbation city to compensating village, coming through the psychological projection valley. :lol:

    For the record, the length of my posts is compensating for my tiny, tiny brain. Proudly, I own the smallest vehicle I could get with 4WD to deal with Albertan country roads and such. :D
