If you had the choice of no cancer ever but with the chance of going mad, would it be worth the risk?

2 out of 7—? Oh yeah.

“We’re all mad here.”

Sounds like a quantity vs. quality of life question to me. I wouldn’t take the pill because I’m already a higher risk for Alzheimer’s or dementia than for cancer. But I supposed my highest risks are motor vehicle accident or cardiovascular disease from being overweight.

What’s wrong with being mad. No I wouldn’t take the pill.

Going mad and experiencing dementia are not synonymous. (Why do I continue to hope that the details will be rational and make some sort of sense? Medicine does’t make pills either.)

I’d rather cope with cancer than dementia. I’ve coped with my own cancer, and I’m coping with my husband’s dementia. I’d much rather fight a cancer. I’d rather die than have to go through what he is going through. So would he, but he’s not able to think ahead and actually carry out his wishes, so that’s not a possiblity.

Brain cancer would make one go mad as well. Why not kill two birds with one dark stone? lol

This increasingly feels like a hastily arranged Q&A session in a bide a wee rest home for the terminally bewildered.
“Fuck off with the questions already, me wanna play leap frog with the fishies.”

No, I’m pretty good at coping with physical illness by now; mental illness would be a whole new ballgame that I really would rather not play. Cancer can be treated.

o_O That’s all I have to say.
