Ive had a good read through & agree with alot being said .. I too dont like people using the 'so your cured' quote. Ive had this & the other day I got particually cross with a friend I was talking to who was asking me how I was doing, when I said Id now finished treatments he said brilliant now your all cured & can move on !! I corrected him & said NO im in remission & all I can do is hope & pray to stay that way the longer the better, he then said is this all your focusing on ? WTF grrrrrrrr & saying it was me being negative OH BOY GIVE ME STRENGTH I could feel my blood starting to boil & said 1) NO cancer patient is ever 'cured' 2) by continuing to enjoy life as best I can which I am doing yet realising the realities of being a cancer patient makes me 'negative' that just makes people with your attitude ignorant, but I can understand as until you get hit with this horrid diagnosis you cant even begin to understand. Not heard from him since lol
The way I see it is with the human body & the way it works we are all potential ticking time bombs by 2020 HALF of the population will have cancer, totally horrid thought and thats without those who are living with other life threatening illnesses such as heart desease, kidney , liver failure etc etc. We could walk out the door tomorrow & get ploughed down by a bus life is a gamble with no guarentees ( only taxes & death) < Yep all that is what we all know & all that everyone keeps reminding us yet still that word 'CANCER' why does it still even today put the blackest of thoughts & fears into us, I think thats why so many say what they do to us because deep down its the one thing that scares the hell out of them .. "It gives me hope if I see or hear that she is ok , cured" They don't want to hear she or He is going to die because they maybe wondering "how will I cope or will I survive 'IF' ever it becomes my turn ?"
