Tony's plight struck a chord with me while at the same time it was depressing to me and many others to be subjected emotionally to his terrible ordeal. People handle grief in different manners and I guess this board and subjecting the people here to his poor prognosis was Tony's way of coping. Life is complicated and bittersweet and I am thankful I got to know Tony Treadwell despite the minor burden placed on me and all here. Recently, a friend of mine had an argument with his wife, grabbed a 12 ga shotgun with a deer slug, stuck the muzzle under his chin and blew his head off. To me this is the ultimate selfish act and it makes no sense to me why Tony who wanted to live so much dies of cancer while this other man who was physically well, takes his own life. Life is complicated, I guess.
