In reply to the discussion: Florida state senator: Only thoughts and prayers will stop evil behind shootings [View all]TNNurse
(6,926 posts)41. I am a cancer survivor, I have been the recipient of thoughts and prayers.
They do help, they comfort you. However, surgery, chemo and radiation cured my cancer, I do not think most of those idiots offering thoughts and prayers about guns would turn down the options that actually help them survive something like cancer.
