    Even if I could afford treatment, if it’s a guaranteed death sentence I’m booking a flight to a place with doctor assisted suicide.

    Going through hell just so you can live a bit longer and suffer the whole time sounds dumb to me.

      Life’s different with kids. I’d literally give up anything for an extra hour with my kids. I would also give up everything to give them a better life. It’s a complicated situation and people are dumbing it down as much as possible, and it’s a little unfair. It’s very easy to say what you’d do when it’s just you, but these fucking progeny put their hooks in you, I swear to God. They have made me into a person I never thought I would be, and I can guarantee if they said “Dad, five more minutes,” I’d do it.

      None of this should even be a talking point. Dude should’ve had access to treatment regardless, and he shouldn’t have to worry about jeopardizing his kids next 20 years for their next 20 days. It’s gross. It makes me sad.
