I agree with Raj. When I had ovarian cancer I could say I may have cancer, but it does not have me. That was because I had no symptoms or pain from it - seizures came with chemo. PD has you every moment. Also, with cancer you make it or you don't, with PD you gradually deteriorate and there is no cure or meds that help. I have never accepted it and I don't think I ever will. Also, I do not see the purpose of this suffering. I'm afraid my religious beliefs have taken a dive. And what about that two-headed baby that is going to have one head removed? Whose fault is that? Any religion or philosophy needs to take EVERYONE into account.Ray ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
