Interesting take on life. I don't know, if I'm having a heart attack I
most certainly would want to be brought back. But cancer, especially
cancers of the digestive, pulmonary or neurological you may as well
shoot yourself.

As I've said before I got to watch several people ultimately be killed
by metastatic cancers. One started with breast cancer, the other colon
cancer.

Both were dead within 2 years of diagnosis.

The first six to eight months was ok, then it was all down hill from
there.
