What's even more horrible than cancer?

4meAndyouF
Alzheimers or dementia. Most people don't realize this, but I do, as I used to specialize in the care of Alzheimers and dementia patients. The people who have these diseases are aware of the deterioration of their minds in a slow progression that can take up to five years before they eventually die of it....and there is no cure. There is nothing that can be done. They live with the horror of knowing there is something wrong. The only blessing is that eventually things become so bad they forget all that they have lost.

@schizosaint Unfortunately there鈥檚 also Early Onset Alzheimer鈥檚, which strikes sooner than old age.

@schizosaint Therefore, it is not horrible?

The chemo that supposedly treats it
Alzheimer's, severe psychiatric disorders that make life a living hell, ALS. But terminal cancer is right up there. Basal cell skin cancer is a no big deal. Bone cancer is very painful and difficult to control the pain. Brain cancer is no walk in the park, either.

@SW-User I don't think death's a condition.

@LaconIconic you didn't say condition. You said what's more horrible than cancer. I answered death.
