How do you feel when you see the advertisements on television about lung cancer?
I think they're good yeah I think they're good. The only one I don't like is where it says that she died two weeks after, I don't like that because I think if you've got lung cancer you've just been diagnosed with it and you see something like that and it says "Oh Colleen died," is it Colleen or Colette, "died two weeks after that," it's not helping you, it's very depressing. What you want, you want to go up. And it's like when you've had cancer you're up here but you can come down and it's like being on a seesaw. I mean John Wayne died when I was in hospital, he died with lung cancer the week I had my lung removed with cancer you know. But you don't, you don't want things like that you want, you want people to help you to come up, not go down there you know.
Yes get over it?
To get over it, you want to come up here, not be pushed down with it and told you're too, this lady died two weeks after this, God help her and God help her family, I feel very sorry but it's not helping people. And I do, I do, I've got a bee in my bonnet about it, I really have you know I think they should be, why don't they, why don't they put more publicity about, like publicity about people that have survived, that have come through it, why don't they do more? They do more about people that have died with it than people that are still living with it you know. And it annoys me, it does, it really gets me. |
