Attitude is Sometimes Everything

[ctarleton]

Happened to see this real line taken from an Obituary of a man who died of cancer recently, as published by his Family.

"... And for the record, he did not lose his battle with cancer. When he died, the cancer died, so technically it was a tie! ... "

Couldn't help but chuckle.

One tough Dude!

Sort of sums up the evolutionary irony of cancer's fate; i.e., Suicide mission every time out. Thanks for posting. Be Well - cujoe

This obituary is right on spot. Cancer is part of us, not distinct. We don’t fight ourselves are we? The human body is more complex than several galaxy around... so it is a miracle to get up and come to every morning. I don’t ‘fight’ the cells inside me which have had a bad division issue and for which the immunity system didn’t find a reason to terminate them. To my friends when I talk about my condition, I say that I have crazy cell inside of me that want to live a different life than mine, and I have to convince them to do hara kiri and will take whatever treatment to get the out although I don’t consider them enemies :). My 2 philosophical cents

Like that famous tombstone that read "I TOLD YOU I WAS SICK".

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Anybody can just give up and die....fighting this sh!t is hard sometimes, but that's what this forum is all about.
