I watched my GF and her sister go through the gut wrenching process of chemo. Having cancer and being depressed will kill you more times than having cancer with a good attitude. Any family, friends, or who ever it may be that has enough integrity to help keep your spirits up in any possible way while you face death squarely in the face is a blessing.

That kind of encouragement that's rooted in absolute fantasy makes me feel worse. That's a soundbite with no sincerity at all.

It killed my grandmother who played a large role in raising me.

I heard a couple times about miracles and beating it I was like shut the **** up with that. Spoiler alert: It killed her.

Then it's "well she moved on. She's in a better place. "

Uh, no. She's dead. She didn't buy a beach house.

They'll probably just embalm him and keep him in there like they did with Strom
Thurman.

Isn't there statistics showing a link between some ones mood and their immune system?

There's nothing wrong with hope. Hope is easy as ****. If you are too lazy to hope then you are a lazy mother ****er.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
