On the spectrum or go gentle vs fight, I'd have to say, now is the time is history where "fight" makes the most sense.
This is not abstract for me. I have not one, but two forms of cancer.
Both were considered incurable when I was diagnosed.
Both have treatments now that, IN SOME PEOPLE, lead to remission.
I still don't know which group I am, but I'd be dead from either one by now, if I hadn't elected to treat.
New treatments, for SOME cancers are literally coming out monthly.
So the fact that you can't be cured today, does mean there won't be a better treatment by next year, if you can hang on.
I should find out soon on my more aggressive one. Either way, I plan on continuing to try.
