To Richard Smith: Tell that to my mother and many others, you eee-diot! I swear there must be a hole to a weird, parallel dimension, I wonder where these bungholes come from.

Intractable pain is such a joyous experience.

My mother in law just passed, quietly, peacefully, with loved ones around her bedside, at an advanced age after a great life. THAT is the way to go.

If it takes a case of cancer to tell you that you are mortal and need to plan such things, you are an idiot.

Death when young is hard on the family no matter how it occurs. Death at 79 is not unexpected, again, no matter how it occurs.

This guy must be on the Death Panel.

Rationalizing not paying for testing or treatment.

I think any disease that has an “end stage” be it cancer, ALS, MS, or other chronic illnesses are hard, and who could call one better than the rest.

I’ve watched friends die of cancer, my uncle died of ALS, both are awful.

This video made by CTV showed the true face of end stage MS that Annette Funicello endured.

It’s not a game of “illness poker” where one hand is better than the other...they’re all bad.

Cancer delivers more reasons for funding of my ‘profession’, so make sure you don’t die of something quick - got that, SERF!

[Gay State Conservative]

I worked at a large,very well known,hospital for 20 years.It was well known for its Oncology service as well as just about every other service,having routinely treated cancer patients from all over the world.I've seen more death than I care to remember.Deaths that were the result of cancer,heart attacks,strokes,car accidents,murders,suicides,AIDS and many other causes.I also watched my mother die of cancer at the age of 52.

As a result of my occupational *and* personal experiences I'd say that cancer is one of the *worst* ways to go.If I could choose I take a heart attack in my sleep.My next choice would be a heart attack while I'm awake.

Some smart people sure dont know when to shut up

[Terry L Smith]

As a cancer survivor, I will tell this, ahem, “esteemed personage of the British medical society”, that there is a woodshed with his name upon it, calling for his attention.

[Billthedrill]

I suspect that if you wait until you’re dying of something specific to reflect on your life, you’re probably a little behind. Me, I reflect on my life every day. I’ll be ready to go when my virtuous acts make up for the sins I’ve committed. In short, about 500 years from now.

[Toespi]

I am sure my brother-in-law who has end stage prostate to bone cancer, would love to reflect on his life, IF he could just get past the moment to moment pain, while trying to live.

Death from organ failure - respiratory, cardiac, or kidney - will have you far too much in hospital and in the hands of doctors. So death from cancer is the best ...

And, just think, this guy was the editor for the British Medical Journal. Just wow. The level of ignorance right there is astounding.

[Shimmer1]

Oh I feel so much better now!
