Ahh, but better to go that way than cancer.


True,but there is no cure for cancer.

So, no one that developes cancer is ever cured?

Is this a trick question?

Apparently. Many forms of cancer are treatable today.


Correction: many forms of cancer are not ONLY treatable, but
cureable.


For the benefit of the tape...

Meaning the cancer is terminal.
Terminal cancer is not curable. :-(


However, not all cancer IS terminal. Therefore, stating "True, but there is
no cure for cancer" is an inaccurate statement. That statement did not refer
to a *specific* incidence of a person with a terminal illness, but rather
the general notion that cancer is always incurable. Fact: a high percentage
of folks who are diagnosed with cancer are cured.

I knew I should of taken a law degree. :-)


Hmmmm.
