I don't think you guys understand me at all. I'm no stranger to cancer, nor suicide. I will never defend either.


On her husband's birthday, she's still "her". By Christmas, if she's still here, if you have any idea about terminal cancer at this stage, you know what she'll be. There's a huge difference.

I just don't see this as suicide, any more so than I see someone else sacrificing their own life to save the life/pain/suffering of their family.
