I have to disagree, based on my personal experience with both. Admittedly, my cancer was fairly easily treated, and I lived to tell about it.
My MS has been pure HE!! at times, and there have been more then a few times that I wished something (that they could at least treat with morphine, so I'd be incoherant) would just "take me".
I went into a laser clinic yesterday to take to this guy (who used to be a doctor) about using laser to quit smoking. He said, "to help motivate you, think of the health aspects, blah, blah, blah". I turned to him and said, "It is the $$ that will motivate me personally, because I would much rather die from cancer then die a slow agonizing death from MS". He shook his head in agreement.
Not everyone with cancer has a VERY hard time, and certainly not everyone with MS does either. I think our perspective on this though, is all relative to our personal experiences with the diseases . . . .

Very good point!
Keri, hopefully after this is over, you won't be "disabled" enough to need much empathy . . . cause you will look and FEEL good.
