From the latest installment of Slate's ongoing effort to rethink how we think about cancer:
“Everyone always says to make the most of your time, but they don’t tell you that you won’t have an ounce of energy to do it with.”
I don't have much to add to that. I'm not even pursuing hard core treatment, and I still find the smallest activities feeling like accomplishments. I'm not sure what the folks on the worst of the chemo regimens do, never mind those who let the doctors just beat the crap out of them only to find out that nothing's worked, the clock's running out, and they've got nothing left to work with.

Cancer sucks.
Amen, brother.
