It's not like they have a choice. They are brought to a hospital, and then they have no choice. Doctors can't fulfill any requests of death, so how is it brave? "Oh my, he is sitting there having tests done on him, but he has no choice! What a brave young man."

can anyone explain this to me

Getting treatment makes you brave, somehow.

@hi

yes you let them do what they had to do but when you have cancer you do have choices....and the choice to have radiation or chemo, or nothing.

radiation and chemo are months and months of pain and sickness, and even with that you still could die from the cancer


so people who have cancer and choose to take the treatment are brave

so choosing to save their ass instead of dying makes them brave?

they aren't brave for doing what they have to do

for most sane people, anything is preferable to death

@Hi

yes it does...because the cure can be awful and sometimes doesn't even work, so you could go through months and months of pain and sickness and still die.


Those months of pain and suffering can rob you of any quality of life that you might have.....which means that the time you have left is not time well spent with your family and friends, it is time spent being really sick.

It's not even a choice. A couple month's treatment for a chance of surviving, or do nothing and die no matter what. How is that a choice? Only a total moron would choose to do nothing

When people say they are brave they are not actually referring to the cancer patients themselves, but to their dogs.

@Hi

well it depends on where the cancer is and what the chances are that it can be cured.


but think if you were told that if you had chemo your cancer may have a 20% chance of being cured, which means that you would have 6 months of pure sickness, totally bedridden.

or you could live for a year with almost full qualitity of life...



idc this choice would be hard to make, so that's why people who choose the chemo are brave
