holy crap...

poor kid. i hope he pulls a miracle and gets through alright. i also hope all their recent advancements in chemo let them nuke just the tumor, and nothing else, at least.

but if I had to choose, I would rather be dead. If I needed assistance with everything, I wouldn't be able to enjoy life. if i didn't enjoy life, i'd want to die.

for me.. it's all about the quality of life.. if it's great, then i'm all up for life.. if it's not then i'm getting the fuck out.. i mean.. if i'm shitting in a diaper and someone has to bathe and feed me, no way.. that is not a good quality life in my opinion.. i mean i would be so ashamed and feel so incredibly worthless if i couldn't give back someone and had to depend on others for everything.. i would have trouble living day to day, ya know?

that's why i think doctor assisted suicide should be legalized - not euthenasia - but doctor assisted suicide. which is a whole nother topic..

Oh god, Pat I'm so sorry. *hugs*

I can't even imagine... and honestly I don't know what I'd do. I mean, never mind all the assistance I would need, I would be more concerned with how my abilities to learn and think would be affected...

that's a really tough question, I don't even know. :/

cancer is such a bitch. it's so evil. it targets anyone. it's so unfair.

i'm kind of on the fence about it. i want to live my life as me, with a fully functioning brain. i'm so in tune with my mind that without it, i wouldn't be me. and living a life without being able to realize this would be like a prisoner, almost pointless.

however, it's a life. my life, supposedly. to end it would be committing suicide, wouldn't it? but what's a life where i don't know who i am? when i can't even function?

it's a really hard one, but i'd probably choose to be put to sleep. this is assuming that i'm pretty much disabled. i mean, if i could still think and stuff, then i would probably choose to live.

i hope that helps in some way. i hope he will be okay. best of luck.
