Can I assume this woman has had cancer and she really knows what she’s talking about? Because I don’t think she does.
I have been with Mr. RooRoo for 25 years now and I thank God every day for the gift of a wonderful husband. But to compare looking for a husband to having and fighting cancer is absurd.
I am a cancer survivor, and I am cancer-free. I can assure you that dealing with cancer is 1000 times more intense and scary as looking for a husband. The fear, the unknown, the doctor visits, surgeries, treatments—-these stop your life as you know it and consume nearly every waking thought you have. There is nothing scarier and more intense than this.
I’ve had my happy ending, but most of the patients of my oncologist did not have happy endings; being around these extremely sick and doomed people was absolutely terrifying.
I don’t think this lady knows what she’s talking about, I really don’t.
Fifty years ago, I looked across a crowded room and saw my wife to be. Last July, I looked into the commode and saw I was pissing pure blood due to cancer. Somehow, I just can’t see any similarity between the two.
“as serious as cancer” is an expression, I think, like “serious as a heart attack”.
Cancer survivor here, too. I don't think there's anything like going through the diagnosis, the surgery, the chemotherapy, the fear...
Very glad to hear you're cancer free; me too, fellow survivor.
And I know EXACTLY what you mean about being around other extremely ill cancer patients. It's scary.
