So your sister has cancer?
Well so does my grandmother.
My grandmother also contracted Polio when she was 3, and she is now 68. She has lived with it her whole life.
Its too bad that your sister apparently has cancer, but I frankly dont care.
Call me heartless, but in the long term, everyone is going to die anyway.
Get over it.
Hey now. There's no need to say that.
Everyone is going to die anyway? So we may as well just let them live in pain anyway? Right?
No.
Wow good human being award. That's really rude--not caring is one thing and you're entitled to that no matter how much of a scum bag it can make you out to be, but you can't just tell someone to "get over it." Just because your grandmother has battled these illnesses successfully does not mean that everyone else can or will. Some people out there care about their loved ones and want them to get better so you're just going to have to grow up and respect that. If everyone is going to die someday then they at least deserve quality of life while they're around. If they can't get it, then that's terrible, but if someone has a chance at bettering their health don't discourage them, and others, just because you know someone who has been able to survive.
Even just saying something like that on this thread is going to negatively impact people--whether it be that they take your opinions as socially acceptable or they know someone who is suffering/are suffering themselves and they lose hope that other people care about them--pardon me while I take your advice in calling you "heartless."
