So I am 40 years old. 40. So far in the last 8 years I lost: - my father in law, when my he barely knew my son. - my father a couple of months before he was supposed to retire. - my uncle in law to cancer after he fought it 5 different times. This year, we found my mother has breast cancer. To kick it all off on July 4th, my dog seemed to hurt his leg. Went to the dr. find out it's cancer. Did a biopsy to see what we could or should do. Stage 3. We can take the Leg, Part of the pelvis, do Chemo and Radiation with a coin flip chance that it could easily just come back in a couple of months. Yeah that's not happening. So now, I have to explain to my 9 year old son, that his best friend is dying. I think I'll just feed that dog a steak nightly and hope he passes of heart attack or something. Funny thing is, 2 years ago, he threw out his back because he was too fat, and we got him into the best shape of his life. Ha, what a fucking joke. He should have been eatting everything and having a great old time instead of fucking dieting to have a "better life". Next, week, my mom goes in for radiation treatments. Yay! Like the title say's FUCK Cancer.
Best fucking part... The surgeon with no thought what so ever says, "well, what we can do, is take his leg, unfortuantely the cancer spread too far, so we will also have to take part of his pelvis. Then we can radiate the area. Then do chemo and hope it doesn't come back". I say, "if it comes back, when would it come back?", he say's "no telling, it could be a month or a year, but there is a 50/50 chance it comes back". I say, "how long does it take to heal from a sawed off pelvis". "About a month". Like this was a real fucking conversation?! So I call back and ask them if they do CDB OILS for dogs? Nope. Of course. Let's take the leg, saw the hip, radate and throw chemo at a dying animal. But giving it CDB oils. OH MY GOD! ANIMAL CRUELTY! Even though it's been shown the CBD Oils stop the growth of fast growing cancer cells. WHICH IS THE EXACT FUCKING KIND MY DOG HAS! I mean, what could even go wrong with it? He'll die? He's already fucking dying. WTF?!
Fuck cancer. Last year I lost my brother to colorectal cancer and my uncle as well, though I forget what kind he had.
Hate that stuff myself since my grandmother has an incurable kind, plasma cytoma or however it is spelled. It is in check so far, but doctors said those who have it live on average 4-10 years and she is in her early, almost middle, 90s. I can't stand it. I wish we could eliminate it for good.
Totally agree with you. Lost my grandmother to Lung Cancer. Lost a close family friend to breast cancer about 15 years back now, a fine older woman I called auntie even though we were in no way related. Fuck Cancer.
Our close friends 9 year old son, just beat cancer. He was featured on ESPN So there is hope! Prayers are with you!
I agree Fu*k cancer. I lost my dad to cancer 8 years ago and I lost my mother to cancer last month. I still cannot believe my parents are gone.
Keep the faith brother - weird ( in a a good way ) stuff can happen! Chemo sucks - 48 Doses plus 10 injections of filgraston here, but it does work! Hoping all the best for your mom and family.
I agree, f**k cancer. My grandma, fathers side, had cancer of the stomach. I can't believe that this November will mark 4 years since her passing. I was very close to her.
My wife has been battling breast cancer for 3 years now. I'll be selling my entire collection to try to cover our medical bills. Tons of her Satellite Beach, Florida schoolmates are coming down with super aggressive forms of cancer in their 30's. 3 of her friends have died already. There is a doctor that tested the ground water and it is contaminated and a large group is starting a class action lawsuit. It has something to do with Nasa and the Air force base. Life is just fucking hard man, I hate cancer with all my being.
Damn. Sorry man. That's rough to put it mildly. Hope she fully recovers. Take those bastards for everything you can I say.
Awesome! She has 1 more appointment on August 17th, then she'll officially be in remission after September 2nd. I still can't believe that we're this close to it being over, everything seemed so hopeless when she was diagnosed.
I haven't known personally who had cancer, except for one of my Mom's friends who had (I think) breast cancer. Thankfully, she's doing just fine. Sucks to hear others have to go through these types of experiences. My sympathies to those who have been lost, and best wishes to those who are fighting the good fight.
