I just want to remind all cancer patients and survivors in the US that

[Ilsa]

you have an obligation to stop doing whatever you're doing, go home, give up your dreams, quit your jobs, and just focus on two things: prayer and your cancer. :sarcasm:

Gee, why wouldn't you listen to the tv and radio idiots who have little to no experience in dealing this head-on the way the Edwards and so many others have?

That's what the omniscient (more :sarcasm: ) OxyRush recommends. I wonder if he advised Tony Snow to quit his job since he may have a recurrence of colon cancer?

1. Not just the patients and survivors ...

...but, their entire family are morally obligated to sit home:sarcasm:

I am so sick of idiots

[Berry Cool]

2. Yeah. For crying out loud.

I wonder what Rush would recommend if Tony did have a recurrence. We'd probably get a big speech about how there's no reason he can't go on with business as usual while getting treatment. Jeez.

I wasn't surprised at the news about Elizabeth's recurrence, but I am glad John is staying in and she's going to do what she can to help him campaign while he does what he can to help her.

3. I know that some people don't survive cancer but

in 1985 I had surgery to remove cancerous abdominal tumors. Thank goodness I have survived to this day. What I wanted to say is this. I was open and when people at work asked me I talked about it. One day one of the temp employees came into the office. She said "I give you credit". I asked her why and she said because you can talk about it to people. I then said well it was an operation, and I hope it proves to be successful. She said then that she had a breast cancer operation and was embarrassed to talk about it, because she thought people would shun her because she had - had the cancer operation. Can you believe that. Back then I guess the prejudice was even worst. So you can see that the right wing nuts that wallow in this smearing are worst than a bunch of jerks.
