I totally agree that any type of cancer is horrible and can be devastating in its own way. However, until I watched my mom go through the last 4 1/2 years, I had no idea how much OC changes your life. I hope to never experience the "C" word, but I've thought several times how it seems like it would be easier to have a different kind of cancer than OC because then at least you could still eat, talk, enjoy a glass of iced tea w/friends...have a drink of water, which is what my mother told me she wanted for Christmas. I'm trying to help spread the word.
