My mom had cancer and passed away 2 years ago. Hardest thing I have ever had to see. I would rather it be quick and easy like a heart attack. Lights out It's harder on the survivors (never had a chance to make things right and say good by) but it is not about the survivors. My mom suffered enough in her life. This was not what she deserved.
My wifes best friend just passed away fro liver/colon cancer last 2 months ago. She saw her friend just wither way.
If I ever get cancer or some other regenerative ailment I'm moving to Oregon. I will go out on my own terms. No one else has the right to make that decision for me.
I do not understand the people who are angry at the strip/cartoonist. I read the strip and I thought it was done tastefully. It's not like he was mocking those who have cancer. He made it human and real. I do not see how that is a bad thing.
I guess we do have something in common after all.
