Poll of the Day > Would you Cry if your Doctor tells you you have CANCER???

(+) Yeah! (+)

there's all types of cancer out there just waiting to develop in our bodies...

the most common are lung, breast, bladder, colon, prostate..according to statistics, 60% of people will develop some form of cancer in their lives..

Would you cry if your doctor told you you had cancer?.

Probably not. I've never been at all emotional about my own health or mortality. I wouldn't have much to lose anyways. I'd just accept it for what it is and go from there.

I cared once about my health but not any more, I'd likely ask how shitty treatment is to decide whether I'd rather go the euthanasia route.

Fuck if I know

my guess would be not at first, but later maybe
---

If it was terminal, yeah probably.
---

I'm not sure if I would or not. I've long accepted the reality that I won't live long.

I'm not afraid of death, just the process of it. I fear the pain from a stab, shot, terminal illness, etc. If I cry, it would mostly be about the pain and torture I would be facing.

for me it would most definitely be later. when dwelling on things like whats gonna happen to my dogs if I outlive them or shit like that.

but right when told? most likely not especially if lung cancer, i'm not going to cry over getting diagnosed with something I saw coming 100 miles away (been smoking for around 15 years)

No. I'd probably feel sick about it though. If it was treatable, my day to day life wouldn't change much in the sense that I take big news better than small news when it comes to the bad... It's weird. If it was terminal, I'd probably try to ruin my enemies and be remembered as a total asshole.

A little.

Probably not as I don't show emotion all that much. It would also depend if it's treatable or not. I'm actually paranoid about getting Cancer and dying young due to the fact my older sister did. Imagining myself going through what she went through is a terrible thought. I also fear death no matter how futile it maybe.

No, if I die, I die. Longevity is overrated.

oh you mean if i was told i now have 100% freedom to do ad i wish with zero repercussions? thats how id take it
---

Probably wouldn't in front of the doctor because I wouldn't want to do that in front of a stranger

Yeah, you might want to take some legal advice about that whole "zero repercussions" notion.

"But I'm going to die anyway, so what the hell!" I've got news for you: everyone is "going to die anyway". You were always "going to die anyway" from the moment you were born. So just what's stopped you before now from doing whatever the hell you like?

... because knowing you are going to die soon as apposed to not takes away the fear of said repercussions. If I had a short death sense over my head I'd rather not know then spend the rest of my life counting down the days to the inevitable.
---

I rejoice if I can get euthanasia
---

Let me tell you that if you're diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, it doesn't open up vistas of zero-consequence freedom; instead, it confronts you with the horrors of ever-increasing dependency. Your horizons shrink smaller and smaller as your health fails and you start to lose mobility and other normal functions. It's not a release, it's a prison.

But it's also a mistake to think of the big, scary C-word as an inevitable death sentence and accept defeat. Not every form of cancer always funnels down to the same terminal conclusion. You'd be pissed off if you went on a mad "end of life spree" and it turned out your cancer was treatable, and you'd have to live with the consequences for a lot longer than you expected...

If it was terminal, I'd find a much more badass way to die than withering away in bed or euthanized by lethal injection, and I'd do it sooner rather than later. Fuck you cancer, you can't kill me if I die my way first. I'd go find a grizzly bear or a tiger to punch in the face or go skydiving and take off my parachute while singing Free Fallin at the top of my lungs.

make a game out of it. go ahead and dig your grave and see if you can't skydive right into it. THAT would be a bad ass way to go if you hit your target

I got the idea I think from the man show a long time ago. had some thing talking about the manliest ways to die. I only remember this one and what they called whore house heart attack. where you have to be really old and just take some viagra and keep fucking till your heart gives out.

There was actually a Russian guy that died that way to win a bet that he could fuck for 12 hours straight. He had a heart attack moments after he won, I'm assuming with a huge shit-eating grin on his face.

Later on, maybe. Probably not initially. Initially I'd try to keep myself from coping with it until it all set in, and then I'd probably end up crying.

It's hard to say for certain, but I feel like Snuggletoof's answer is accurate.

Not so much fun for the undertaker struggling to force the lid down on the coffin.

When I was told, it was heart breaking, ok?
---

see you guys got it all wrong.
you now have nothing to lose. what the worst thats gonna happen? you die? oh no, please not that! gonna take all your belongings? oh man, im def gonna need that when im in the ground. increasing dependency? wtf are you on about? i think you are missing the point
---

Id ask if i could be euthanized and if not how long i had left so i could just count down. If i was able to be put down i might not be able to contain it and cry out of joy but otherwise no. Id just go through whatever was needed so i could go home.

Just cut a hole in the lid

I cried when I was diagnosed. I've since had it taken care of, but it was still a huge slap in the face. It really made mortality hit home.

I'd cry if he told me I didn't actually.

It wouldn't compare to PotD having a Duckbear, so...

Let me tell you. Being given a death sentence will effect people differently so you can't possibly say how it effects people. You can only give a hypothetical answer, how you think others feel/act or your own experience if you have a terminal illness. Whatever the case all you're doing is giving a opinion just as everyone in this topic is.
