But you said in your post that 'treatment for cancer doesn't leave you house-bound and requiring extra fuel'.

I'm saying: Yes it does.

Can't understand cancer patients being singled out to receive this either. Treatment for various cancers doesn't leave you housebound and needing to use extra fuel, but having, say, two broken legs will! Not very well thought through IMHO.

I've copied NAR's actual quote here for a reason. Surely you have left out the very word that [in my opinion] makes NAR's comment fair and accurate. Thank goodness I know very little about cancer treatments but are you saying that you do and that there are no cancer treatments that don't leave everyone receiving them housebound and needing extra heat?

They should have said some cancers, not various cancers, which is a strange and misleading term to use.

Would it have mattered? You chose to read what you wanted and just wanted to argue black is white; thank goodness some people on this Forum choose to read posts carefully before diving in.
And for your information cancers can be very varied, both in their type and treatment, so for me to say various was totally in context!
