mushroom 14,052 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I feel for anyone with cancer or having to live with it's consequences. We lost my young auntie to Cancer and 2 years previous to that my 14 year old brother passed on through something different. Anyone who has to bear the pain of losing a love one or watch them degenerate will total understand shot. (I say this as I dry my eyes ) Shroom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiff 36 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I couldn't watch the clip, but I am sure it puts things in perspective and makes you think. I lost my mom and dad to cancer, and my sisters and I are afraid every day that it will take us to, which is a terrible thing to obsess on. I sell supplemental insurance policies, some of the stories I hear are horrible, some are wonderful, and since I "feel" such a connection with these people, I absolutely love what I do. Good luck to everyone out there with friends, family and themselves who are battling cancer. I am not a religious person but I hope for a cure every single day.

scothunter 12,609 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) trully symapathise wuth anyone that has to live with cancer,must be soul destroying watching some loved one fight that illness.fortunaetly in my family we dont have a history of it,but we do have a history of heart attacks Edited August 23, 2010 by scothunter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiff 36 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 the company I work for does heart/stroke policies, cancer, and some others, and unless YOU have had heart problems or cancer, your family history doesn't matter. Which is good news for those of us who have bad family history to worry about! I guess with the NHC you guys don't battle with the high costs of health care like we do, but I would assume there must be SOMETHING available to help cover utilities, travel to hospitals etc. Worth their weight in gold if you can get one.
