8. Why would anyone UnRec this thread?
All of us in some way have been touched by this disease. Two DUers have mentioned the loss of their mothers to it.

10. Dear Lord, please don't let this devolve into a. "Fuck her, she can afford ...
the best medical care out there" thread. I am a cancer survivor. My mother-in-law is a cancer survivor. My Dad wasn't able to defeat his, and he now lies in Arlington National Cemetery. The point is, no one fucking deserves to have cancer!
