That might be so Mark, and one doesn't take much notice of all that 'Cancer Cure' stuff if one has accepted ones illness. I would like to know the percentage of cancer patients who have not and can not.
Every time such people see, hear or read articles on a new 'Cancer Cure' they are on to their doctors and asking to be given that new medication, only to have the chair pulled out from beneath them, finishing up in hospital or on tranquilizers.
Believe me, it's true.....Tell you a little story....also true.
I am an optimist, like to crack a joke doesn't matter how dire the circumstances.
On my first chemo session I learned my lesson never to ask or say anything in a normal voice, speak veryvery quiet so the person in the next chair cant hear you.
I did ask the chemo nurse what kind poison they serve here, only to be glared at by all other patients, not a grin or smile on any face, accept the nurses. Had to ask the chemo nurse to please put me on at another day with people you can have a joke with. Which she did. I was told later by the nurses that the majority of patients can never accept that they have cancer. It's the WORD Cancer, as most will loose the plot as soon as they hear the word, no, they will tell you that you have a tumour.
Just about the same thing but a different word.
In all my time in hospital or doctors only my own doctor told me I had Cancer everyone else used the word Tumour.
