My mom died of Cancer about 14 months ago. And she was diagnosed 6 years prior to her death. She only showed up to 50% of her doctor appointments to treat it...
I've thought about this over and over... would you really want to know if you were diagnosed with cancer or had cancer cells generating in your body?
I honestly wouldn't want to know. What is the true success rate of curable cancer? 6-8%? I'm just guessing. I don't know. But the number has to be low. Why would I want to know????? So the doctors can use me as a ginny pig? Milk my health insurance? Feed their fat wallets?
I thought about this right after hearing about Curt Schilling being diagnosed with Cancer.... so you go in your doctor's office... for your 6 month or yearly check up.... and what do you know... you get a phone call a week later telling you... you have cancer. What a life changing phone call. You freeze up... worrying because you now know??? No... I don't want to know. You must literally be in hell on earth knowing you're going to die. So, you put your son and/or daughter in fear... that daddy is going to die? Fuk that. I don't agree with it.
It's inevitable... we are all going to die in one way or another.... knowing when your final days are near.... would be horrible. So, now you know you have cancer.... you going to beg to God and say please oh no!??!!? Please... not me. I'm sorry for stealing from that one person when I was younger. I'm sorry for hurting that one girl's feelings... I promise to be a better person etc etc etc. Seriously though.... what good is it to know that you have cancer? I don't see any advantage? All you do is put more pressure on yourself.... you put more emotional strain on the ones who love you and are around you.... lives shouldn't be effected because of a disease. Especially a money making one like cancer.
So... again... I wouldn't want to know or care to know. I'd fight it the way I want too. Nobody needs to know... including myself.
