Learning you have terminal cancer, I finally did in 2004/5 after a few years of denial. I hate the this damn disease. It has robbed me. I will not be around to see my kids grow up in life and to enjoy life with my soul mate, partner and spouse who has been with me for 27 long years. I hate the fact this this beast is stealing my strength, mental capabilities, physical abilities, friends and ruining me finances. It is a painful, slow, agonizing and dehumanizing way to leave this world...............in plain eloquent language--- "CANCER SUCKS" and I am in the thick of it.
