Chemotherapy does not work on this type of cancer. The best treatments, with the exception of one semi-annual treatment, give 2 days of fatigue and that's about it. The physical torture is not there, only the mental torture of having a terminal illness. Additionally, this cancer does not cause your health to degrade until the very end.

You're right about it depending on the person though. There is just a lot of misconception about this particular cancer, which is why I commented about it.
