Flapjack's opinion: for fuck's sake.

He should have stayed on the run.
I've heard plenty of cases of people outrunning cancer.

It just means cancer will mutate into faster tumours on pogo sticks
it's short-term thinking.

It didn't stop the mum from breeding.

She's a daft woman but I can kind of see it
sometimes the treatment for a condition can seem almost as scary as the condition itself.

It wasn't for her though, it was for her son,
so the 'what's best for my child' reflex should have kicked in, surely?

But anyone who has ever seen what chemo does to a child will see how scary it is
to know you are willingly poisoning your child, even for the best reasons, must confuse the parental instinct.

One of my Dad's friends has recently got some kind of nasty cancer,
but her only hope of survival is some kind of experimental treatment that's only got a 20% chance of working or something, so she's not going to bother.

human reason has the power to overcome instincts,
for better or for worse.

Sometimes
but when it's a very treatable condition, I don't see how it's scarier than watching your child die a painful death.

My late god daughter had cancer three times, had chemo each time but in the end it was the chemo that killed her
the chemo gave her the best possible chance and there is no doubt it was the best thing and she would have died even earlier without but the pain she was in over treatment was horrific.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I know I'm taking the internet too seriously.

Plus they're from Minnesota.
We've all seen Fargo. She can always feed him into a wood chipper if the chemo doesn't take.

He had cancer because God hates him. Fuck God. Up yours God. I'm going go against God's will with radiation and then become a bald and slow superhero.

I have no idea where that religious belief could possibly come from.

(, Tue 26 May 2009, 11:02, archived)
Or why it kicked in so late.
Maybe a Damascene conversion to Amish ways.
(, Tue 26 May 2009, 11:03, archived)
As far as I can tell,
even the Amish go to hospital when they need to.
They're not as daft as they're cabbage-painted.

Sounds more like some kind of pagan Mother Earth bullshit.

Having done a bit of googling,
there are claims that the kid is homeschooled and can't read at 13.

MONGS.

I've met people who were state schooled and can't read at 24.
Maybe he's just thick.
