Why are some people so insensitive to people with

lung cancer? I have a friend who drank alcohol and smoked for years. You really couldn't find a nicer person. When he got lung cancer, somebody said he got what he deserved. Nobody deserves lung cancer even if they made bad choices.he was in a ton of pain when somebody said that.

All I can say is to those who show no compassion and empathy none will be shown to them in their time of need. My father-in-law passed at the age of 54 from lung cancer and he never smoked a day in his life, nor were there any smokers in the home. Back in the day men worked with asbestos without protection gear and that is how his drs. feel he got sick with it. In my opinion it doesnt matter how a person lived their life when they are on their death bed compassion and empathy is a must. I mean really we will all make that lonely walk (some by self-destruction, some by accident, and some by natural causes) and we all know we will want others to feel compassion and empathy in our time of sorrow. I am so sorry your friend had to endure such cruelty from others. No doubt he is in a better place.Keep your head up!

I must tell you that these people who judge your friend are cruel and insensitive. Most people who make such cruel judgments do not want you to know that they themselves have made plenty of bad choices, and become haughty and arrogant just because you do not know their own secret life choices. Many people get lung cancer who have never smoked in their life....and remember this, many people who were smokers, and who developed lung cancer....would have developed it anyway, even it they had never smoked a cigarette in their life! You just tell those big mouths..."Judge not!" For one day, their evil judging words WILL come back to haunt them! Best of luck and good wishes for your friend. He is loved.
