I am a thyroid cancer survivor. My mom had lung cancer. My dad had kidney cancer. We've had cats with cancer.
One thing I've learned is that the single most important resource we get in life is the amount of time we have on this planet, and what we do with it.
Once you get to the point where there are no more treatments that doctors can give you to try to stop or slow down cancer, and the only thing they can do is try to make you as comfortable as possible, I don't see any other way that we could possibly look at this situation than an almost complete loss.
But maybe I'm too close to the problem.
- Namari 8y agoI agree with you, there is no win in this dead-end situation. But the fact you acknowledge it as a battle may have a huge impact on yourself, your mood, your stress level and this could help you getting better/worst. I honestly feel like it's more like a war than a battle. You might be healed for a while and then it comes back, exactly like England/France/Germany for centuaries.
