So I've had a recent cancer diagnosis (luckily caught very early and now having radiotherapy and hopefully surgery early next year) so I've been reading and watching a lot of cancer forums, blogs, vlogs, articles etc for education and advice.
Some comments I've come across quite frequently re more advanced cancers than mine, is people saying that if they didn't have children, they wouldn't bother having treatment or surgery. This really upsets me -- does this mean my life is not worth fighting for because I don't have children!? I don't have much family either, so I consider my close friends family, but even if I didn't have them I would still want to fight for my life, because... it's my life. If my cancer had been more advanced and I needed more gruelling treatment, would these people look at me and think "why the f is she bothering"?
Sorry for the depressing rant, but it's been annoying me and had to get it out!!
