My Mother died in 1986 to cancer.    Two weeks from the day she was diagnosed as having cancer to the day she died

My oldest sister died in 2005 to cancer.    She lasted almost 8 months after learning she had cancer.  

My Mom and my sister were both 51.    My sister lived about a month longer then then my Mom before she died.

My first cousin in Texas died on Monday.    Wade did not have cancer,  he died of advanced alcholism.

My boss is going thru Chemo right now,   she just had a double mastectomy.        I guess I have been feeling a little depressed and morbid lately.

 

I do however,  firmly believe in the hemlock society.    Dr Kovorkian was misunderstood,  he helped all those people to leave with dignity.

 

at the end,  that was all they had left.    everything else had been taken from them.     raped (metaphoricly speaking) by the health care system.

whose sole purpose in life is to make sure we all live as long as possible.   quality of life is forgotten.    we are just test results,  numbers to put

in a database and forgotten.     patients and survivers made to suffer as long as possible without regard to anything but numbers.

 

I refuse to be simply a number.       My sense of the rediculas would make me a pest.

 

 

 

 

Ok Dis,   no more sad questions.       I think I am out of this now.
