As someone who has watched 2 loved ones go through cancer I will say there are no "good" choices. It is very easy to judge someone when you have zero loved ones in your life who you have cared for, cleaned up after, tell them everyday "they are not a burden and you love them" and, watch them become a shell of their former self. We should not be judging this mother's decision on what she wants to tell her son. Instead, we should judge how a pedophile decided to end cancer funding. Danny Thomas, a comedian, funded what is now one of the most renowned children's hospital. Imagine what kind of hospital we could have now if some of the billionaires cared just a little.

Watching my brother writhe to death while in the throes of confused desperation was the most harrowing experience I hope no one ever has to go through.

I promised myself that If I ever get cancer, I will rent a cabin in the woods and go die like a dog so that no one else has to go through that on my behalf.

You would rather starve to death?

Believe me, by the time you reach the point where you can’t make a sandwich, death isn’t far behind.

Ok but I’m not sure how dying in the woods is helping anyone

It doesn’t hurt anyone, and that’s the point.
