    Depending on the kind of cancer, probably die.

    There are a lot of different variables - where the cancer is, how aggressive it is, life expectancy and quality, types of treatment available etc.

    Your question is too broad, and for that reason it's too difficult to answer.

    How fast can a cross-dresser can run in heels? Some things you just don't know until it's right there on your front porch selling you seamless gutters. N'ooome sayin'?

    I would email various researchers from different papers I have read and see if I could offer myself as a human test subject. There are certain novel treatments being developed which have close to 100% success rate.

            I completely agree with that. Though I guess you just answered your own question from earlier. When life gives you cancer, it can't get much worse so in order to prove yourself wrong you move to California.

  • I would be stunned. Less than a year ago I was injured really badly. My life has been changed, its been an extremely long road from then to now. If more bad luck were to befall me so soon, right while I'm getting my life back to normal, I would be pretty distraught. I would definitely consider giving up, just like I have on my road to recovery, but I would probably end up getting treatment. The only way to move in life is forward. And for the record I already take high vitamin C supplements, and Steve Jobs similarly tried natural remedies (such as vitamin supplementation) for his cancer, and we all saw how well that worked out for him. Cancer is a modern affliction, cavemen didn't live long enough to get cancer, so we need modern treatment and a modern cure.

    1 of 2 things. 1. Go all out and get as fucked up on as many drugs as possible especially calming ones like valium and ones that knock you out, start smoking cigs again, bang as many girls as I can ( already doing that anyway) and play my guitar as much as possible(always doing that anyway). If all else were to fail in treatment I would admittedly hang myself or go pawn my valuables off and buy a high powered pistol....get extremely sedated and shoot my self in the head or heart out in the middle of nowhere....would just be way too much to handle knowing you are dying every morning you woke up and just waiting to die. Too much anxiety. Do it your way; do it fast and hard.

    There's no way I could afford treatment if I did have it, so I'd just have to die.

    I would go in Chinese Herbal Medicine. I've heard that Reishi Mushroom and Bitter Oak can cure cancer...

    I would go to south arm Tasmania to live out my time. I holidayed there as a kid and they were the happiest days of my life. A piece of my heart remains there and always will.

    Non terminal - get fucking treatment, I don't want to die yet.

    Terminal - get fucking smashed. If im going to die, I want to be drunk and partying like a fucking rockstar, not laid out in a skanky hospital bed that thousands of other goons have died in.

    I would think "Finally!"

    Fucking sick of this whole life thing, but I would never kill myself too much of a coward.

    I would have as much fun as I could until I became too sick, then I`d commit suicide because there`s no way I`d have chemotherapy, it makes you really sick, & 9 times out of 10 it doesn`t even work,it just prolongs the agony.

    Get treatment, and be all YOLO, but in a way that makes my life worth it, not as an excuse to get herpes like some people seem to think lately.......
