If you had a chance to switch places with anyone you lost to cancer, would you? why?

No, because God chooses everyone's time, but I think experiencing what they did would be educational, if someone has the stability to go through it.

Because it was me I would never want or ask anyone to trade places with me . I would do it for my kids but and maybe my other half but not for anyone else

I don't think that would change the situation and make it any better for me or her. Things happened and I am just accepting things the way the are and trying to live my life. In my case she was my grandmother and it took me awhile to come to grasp with the fact that I could not change the situation.

One of the people I lost to cancer was my grandmother, too. I would've switched places in a heart beat but I'm quite sure my grandma wouldn't have accepted the switch. I miss her so much but I definitely inherited some of her ways after her death. Our loved ones definitely live on thru us...

One they have been older than me....two because my children need me....three the only person I would trade with are my children.

I have cancer, and instead of "why me" I always think "Why not me" . I wouldnt want this for someone else!

I WHOULD BECAUSE I WANT THEM 2 HAVE ANUTHER CHANCE IN LIFE

Almost everyone on my dad's side of the family has had/or has cancer. My grandpa is in remisson for the time being but with his type of cancer (in his blood) there isnt much they can do for it except help him live through it longer. My aunt has had breast cancer twice and is struggling to stay in remission. I wont go on to every type of cancer my family has but i would trade places with any of them, if it ment they would live to see another day. Even if i died in the process it would be worth it. No one in my family would trade places with some else even if it ment that they would be free of cancer but thats just who they are. Thier stronger than most people give them credit for.

at the time i would have done but have to admit now i think i wouldn't because my mum would have rathered she had it

This is tough! I would trade places if I felt it would help like in the case of my sister who is a 2 year breast cancer survivor. I would have traded places with her in a heartbeat because she has 2 little ones who need her. M mother is the only close person I have lost to cancer and she would never have allowed me to trade places with her even if it was possible, I know she is proud of me. :) Great question!!

well, not nowadays backwards anymore coz now I have a kid that needs me....but back then when my mum died I'd have changed place with her if it had been possible.

Me too! How old were you when she passed away?

14

I was 8... Its sad huh? I know she is still with me always!

it's very sad...I still miss her though it was so long time ago....I guess you never get over losing you mum...

Never.... :) They are our angels.

yes...and I know that I will see her again when my time has come :)

I never wanted them to suffer but I know they never would want me too either.
This question might hit home with a few people so make sure you are sensitive

I wasn't going to answer this question because I haven't known anyone who's died of cancer- but having thought about it- the answer would still be the same, which is yes, for my kids I would trade my life any and every time whether they wanted me to or not I'm afraid.

All of the people that I have known who have died from having cancer, have been older than me, and I know that they would not want me to do that. But, if anyone of my children or grandchildren, Heaven forbid, got a terminal illness, I would much rather switch places.

My only brother or my father, both better men than I.

i didnt loose anyone but if i did i dont know if i would do ithat bc they would go through the suffer of loosing me.... Suffering from loosing someone sometimes might be bigger.... Some ppl cant handle that :(

i would do that though

I lost my grandfather but he was old and had Altzheimer's. I believe he's be pretty mad at me if I did.

I would of with my 5yr. old neiece who had brain cancer, and why because at the time I felt that I had lived long enough. She never even got a chance.
