The only part of my statement which was even close to sarcastic was the last one. I believe state of mind is the MOST important part of beating any disease whether it's physical, emotional or a mixture of both.

My point is, there's absolutely no point in being defeatist, or in trying to denegrate another person for their choices with regard to their health care.

Until you've personally faced cancer, you have no understanding of how it affects you mentally and physically. You have no concept of the uselessness of 'modern medicine', and obviously no understanding of the lengths you might go to in order to beat the disease - if in fact you are strong enough in will and spirit to fight it rather than submit.

Don't judge another person for their choices until you've had a chance to understand why they've made those choices.
