Spoken like someone who has never had a catastrophic illness touch their lives. I sincerely hope that does not change. But there are situations you cannot control, such as cancer, which must be treated with drugs that sometimes seem worse than the illness they treat, and to be quite frank most if it is out of our hands! I said to one of my doctors that basically they were pumping me full of poison, and hoping the cancer dies before I do. After a moment of complete shock, she nodded her head and said "That about sums it up".
