This was written by someone dying of cancer.

someone who's near death from cancer isn't going to bother sitting down and writing a chain letter with their thoughts...
They're going to at most tell them to their family and more likely keep them to themselves.
That makes the claim a hoax.
It could be true at some level if it were someone putting the thoughts of someone who died from cancer into a chain letter though.
Would still be a bloody nuisance having your mailbox flooded with dozens of the things (which is likely to happen if you have some gullible people who've put your name into their address books) or your ISP gets swamped with them and mail delivery is disrupted (likely to happen if your ISP is AOHell or another n00by level ISP).

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

This article needs somebody playing the violin in the background.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread, already in progress.

Absolutely true. I've known a few people to hate themselv and make everyone around them miserable too. I refuse to live like that and left home at age 19 because of it. Not saying I was perfect either but tried not to make other people's lives miserable just because mine isn't perfect.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

I too refuse to live a victim complex.

You are very wrong about this - no chain letters, no prayer requests, sometimes you just have to accept your fate - all of us will die sooner or later - some people like myself choose to be logical about it - writing down one's thoughts and wishes is a lot better than sitting around crying all the time. I hope you never have to go through this - words cannot describe what goes through your mind...
