Nordko - of course this forum is open to all and accepting of our feelings and opinions. I don't feel my "quiet life" is meaningless at all. I fought as hard as anyone through chemo, rads, surgery (I had 14 surgical procedures last year), infections and now some lung damage from the radiation treatments. And I frequently was angry but managed with the help of family and a great counselor to keep it in its place. There are many studies which show that anger feeds stress which is very harmful to our health (not just for cancer patients). Maybe I was just blessed with caring professionals and a supportive group of friends and family. Getting all our anger/rage out is a good thing but I try not to fling it at other people who may have their own problems. I hope you are successful in your battle against the beast that is cancer and the cancer is most worthy of your rage.
