Cancer is something that I think scares the shit out of most people. The very word cancer has the power to make some people lose their dignity, lose their hope. The remarkable thing is that there are primarily two types of cancer patients, those who die within the time restraints their doctors give them, and those that do not. It's almost as if one gives up hope when told they have 9 months to live.

"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to.
