Fighting cancer.

What a fucking shitty disease.
A friend of mine was told yesterday he needed a brain operation to remover a cancerous tumour, he is 46 with two 11 year old kids.
Then I read on line that an actress off the Casualty programme has just died of breast cancer aged 41, she leaves a young child.
Also the lady that provided the voice to Mrs Wolowitz on the Big Bang Theory died of cancer yesterday.
When I think of all the money we waste on overseas aid and all the money that children in need sends abroad when what they should be doing with it is fighting this evil disease and looking for a cure.
Sorry for the rant.

the money we send abroad is absolutely minuscule compared with the money spent on cancer research.

This time last year I was going through a scare myself (Prostate)... biopsy came back ok .... but was a shitty time and man enough to admit I was shitting a brick... bloke next to us at work got his confirmed (about three months before) and is now going through radiation ... to be fair he looks healthier than meand hopefully his prognosis is excellent (as got early)... cunt of a disease for sure but if you get early enough you have a real fighting chance...

Was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer in april after a tumour was found in the bottom of my spine in Feb - fuck knows how long I have been carrying it. On the hormonre treatment and fighting it but definitely changes the way you live.
I must admit that I view stories of people dying from cancer - especially the younger ones like me - in a totally different light now.

As said on here previously my dad is currently going through cancer treatments.
He had bladder cancer which has now spread to his lymph nodes, liver and in his hip.
He has had chemo, radio and a trial treatment all of which didn't work. He is now on a new chemo treatment but it is a matter of keeping him alive rather than curing it now.
Fucking disease.
Hope we can one day cure it or at least give people a real quality of life after having it.
All the best to those who have it, have members of family or friends currently undergoing treatments.

Yes, because we don't piss money up the wall anywhere else, or give massive companies ridiculous tax breaks eh?
Agree with your sentiment about cancer, but not your angst at charitable causes.

So many cases of cancer coming back, once you've got it it's a cunt to beat and get rid of for good.

Had skin cancer, malignant melanoma, myself 10 yrs ago at the age of 25, didn't think i was that bothered till i get the all clear after 3 ops that the magnitude of it hit me and i broke down.
Just lost my 31 yr old brother-in-law 8 weeks ago. after the bravest fight I've ever seen from one of the best blokes that ever lived and the centre of my little sisters world couldn't do anymore. Left us all in pieces and literally just staggering through the days and trying to find a way back to some sort of normality.
Cunt of a disease that sadly never seems to be contracted by the people that deserve it.

I've lost 3 good friends to cancer in the last 5 years, all were in their 30's.
I was diagnosed with cancer nearly 7 years ago, in fact next week is the 6th anniversary of my final chemo treatment.
Every day that goes by i realise how lucky i am to still be here.

That is the attitude to have, a friend of mine is the same having recovered from metastatic bowel cancer a decade ago (mind you he started smoking again).
My partner's daughter died last year, she had myeloma and died of another infection two weeks before she was due a stem call transplant. She was only 14, It is a horribly random and cruel thing,

OK
While we’re sharing (as they say over here in the States).
In the early hours of 1st May 2013 I got up in the early hours of the morning dying for a piss, an ironic turn of phrase as it turns out.
Imagine my surprise when I pissed pure blood! I stared at my treacherous todger like Wile E. Coyote staring back at the cliff he had just run off. So naturally I did the only sensible thing and went back to bed, pretended it hadn’t happened and assumed it would be better in the morning.
It wasn’t.
I went to the doctor who said blood in your urine was caused by gallstones. I pointed out that I didn’t have blood in my urine, if anything it was the other way round!
Any way, I was sent off for a sonogram to find the stones.
They found no stones but were worried by a “shadow”
They sent me off for an MRI at the local hospital.
As the nurse, a lovely Caribbean lady, asked me to remove any metal object about my person before the scan, she said “And is this your first time with cancer darlin’?”
Pardon!?
