    - sure, in that case it's a totally different matter, the benefit of longer life outweighs the temporary inconvenience. - znufrii May 1, 11:52 4
      - Oh wait, the poll is just asking if you will suffer for three months or be happy for three months? - Iron Spawn May 1, 12:00 3
        
        or suffer for 12 months, versus living for 3, or whatever. -- nm - znufrii May 1, 12:03 2
        
        I thought it inferred that treatment was in hopes/possibility of cure. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 12:06 1

- [deleted] 2
  - right, like i think i'd fight. but if it is like 'you can do chemo, and radiation, and live 6 more months, but you'll be sick and in the hospital the - Andie May 1, 11:49 1
    - I agree -- nm - Epiphany May 1, 11:54
- Is it terminal? Like, would the treatment only give me a couple more months? -- nm - sycor May 1, 11:47

      - i'm more of a fatalist. i figure nature's telling me something so no use trying to rig the gene pool -- nm - pixitude May 1, 12:03 5
        
        that's sad. imagine a world where no one fights - how many wonderful years of life would be lost... not just cancer but - b. May 1, 12:05 4
        
        I beleive there are times when it's worth fighting, and times when it's not. - znufrii May 1, 12:12 1
        
        I don't disagree with any of that. - b. May 1, 12:14
        
        i know but i've already got the one-bad gene strike against me. fighting two strikes seems futile - pixitude May 1, 12:09 1
