If you're wasting away because of *someone, they will probably be the last to notice, if they ever notice.

so true.
there was an attempt to make that person notice, once.... no dice.

Not to get too crass but it's dismally obvious how indifferent everyone is to the fact technology work is exhausting.
As long as we're on the subject of no one noticing, the remainder of us build everyone new things & new ideas, all the time, usually for free. That's where all my money goes for example; the future. As such, people into technology for the money mostly refuse to get along with me. Why do we give million dollar ideas away? Because we're not the first ones starving. 
I hope this gets pasted around.

Cancer is very tricky because it mimics normal cells i.e. the immune system doesn't see it as a threat.
Still, I can't see how effectively killing the immune system with chemo benefits the body as a whole.
I think that's the problem - too much focus on the cancer and not enough on the health and wellbeing of the person overall.
It's like they disregard the person completely sometimes.

Exactly, I read it destroys brain cells, and vital organs. I mean what was the point of all that, if he wasn't even allowed to get out, since there might be some germs in the air?
Cancer was here before, and I bet those ancient people lived longer, even with cancer.
I think looking at the cancer as an enemy to be nuked is the wrong approach.
That's non-acceptance, and it turns you against yourself and makes you untrusting of your own physiology.
Those cells are not invaders, they were always there, and they're part of you.
They indicate that something is unbalanced within, maybe not even in your physical body, but maybe within your mind and beliefs.
I completely agree, and it was like that with my dad - he took everything to heart, even got fined once for engaging with a police officer.
Although with my dad it was also being exposed to too many chemicals due to his job, smoking in huge quantities didn't help for sure or living in the polluted city. Having parents who died of similar reasons didn't help either.

At least it's better to die from cancer today then it was some years ago. A nurse once told me that in most cases today the painrelief is so good, that you don't experience much pain
I'm glad if that's the case

my husband has a virulent type of leukemia. he is still alive due to chemo. thanks to chemo, he gets to go to paris next month and i get to keep him for a few extra months. he has some tingling in his left hand and occasionally has to get transfusions of blood or platelets and in the first two strong rounds of chemo, he lost his appetite for a few weeks and had some infections. we both feel that treatment has been worthwhile. of note is that he didn't mind being in hospital for seven weeks because i provided him with a radio playing his favorite music and because his favorite activity is writing, which he could do there. someone who hates hospitals might have a different opinion.
I'm so sorry
I'm glad it worked for your husband at least! My dad spent most of the last three years in hospital, he hated it, even if we brought TV for him there. It made him very weak, he could barely walk, lost his hair, appetite, everything.

Cathylynn, I'm glad the treatment helped your husband some, and also that the two of you have a bit of time out of the hospital as well.
Booyakasha, sorry about your dad. I can't even imagine that long ordeal.

Great post. My opinion, for whatever it's worth: I have no problem with either group until they start taking advantage of each other, when one group profits off of the other's generosity.
The other concern, which I deal with in my own career, is when people offer their services at substantially less than what they would need to have a thriving business. These folks lessen the perceived value of creative or other services. I don't blame individuals for this problem, but I do believe it's a problem.
