So I just found out today that my step-dad has a malignant brain tumor, so it's basically impossible to operate on. They give him about two years, with chemotherapy. My mom and him are really into new-age shit too, so they'll be wasting a bunch of money on "alternative" therapies that insurance won't cover, like acupuncture, naturopathy, etc. I don't care if you *think* acupuncture fixed your back pain, it can't cure cancer. Ugh.
