Before you comment, please take a few moments to make sure that what you're saying is civil and respectful. We don't tolerate personal attacks, insults, name-calling, impersonations or generally hateful comments — they don't make for a pleasant (or productive) conversation. We want to raise the level of debate and encourage a wide diversity of viewpoints — and that means disagreeing without being disagreeable. If you wouldn't say it to your grandmother, you probably shouldn't say it here.

Thank you for a touching story, Mr. Sanchez. We, too, are dealing with cancer in the family. Fortunately, ours is with an older member, not a youngster with life ahead of him, but it’s still traumatic to hear that pronouncement, no matter what the age of the victim. Cancer is so often considered something that happens to someone else. I am here to tell you that for someone who has lived YEARS as a relatively healthy life and seldom requiring a doctor’s visit, being told that you have cancer is not easy to accept. This is one disease that our tax dollars need to be used to wipe out of our lexicon.
