One of our best friends had a double mastectomy today - she's only in he mid 30's

My mum had a mastectomy just over 2 years ago, she was free of the cancer but sadly suffered a massive stroke and passed away just a few months after her all clear nearly 2 years ago

That's at least as tough mentally as physically. So from me, for your friend:

"fk YOU CANCER, YOU INSIDIOUS LITTLE fkING tt OF A stTY DISEASE"

The current mrs is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer, and is just over half way through her chemo. I'm fully confident she'll be fine after all the treatments but is occasionally hard to get her to think the same.

I can agree cancer is a fking of the highest order.

Thoughts are with you. As I already said, Mrs D is a 13 year survivor, having been diagnosed and treated in her early 30s. So the little fker can be beaten. It is tough though.

So, for Mrs Killer2005:

"fk YOU, CANCER. fk RIGHT OFF AND LEAVE MRSK2005 ALONE, YOU NASTY LITTLE fkER"

Well my mother survived breast cancer back in 2000 - so that's one almighty fk you to you bd disease.

My cousin also survived the same, a few years back now - so that's 2 - 0 to us.

My father is now undergoing treatment for colon cancer - and the score is about to become 3 - 0 you tt.

And when the surgeon has finished with you, you have an open invite to my martial arts club where me and my mates will kick the st out of you

She's so damn brave and very sensible.

It was the right choice but Christ, what a choice to have to make.

She's so lovely too, you couldn't wish to meet a nicer person.

As I think you said earlier in this thread - why does cancer affect nice people when there are so many worthy child abusers/killers/terrorists (add categories as you see fit)?

I've had three grandparents die from cancer in the last ten years, last year mum was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer and my dad is currently waiting to find out if he has lung cancer.

What I want to know is why it's become so prevalent (or appears to at least). I'm 31, when I was growing up I never heard of anyone (my parents friends or whatever) dying of cancer, I was 17 before before someone I knew died from it (my then girlfriends grandfather). Since then it's like everyone has it; relatives, friends, friends parents, friends of my parents, neighbours all both young and old.

Incidentally my grandfather who is 87 has smoked since he was 5 (seriously, although not something to boast about) and the most ill he's been was a small stroke about 8 years ago and a hardening of the arteries in his neck which required a stint put in about 2 years ago. Out of all the grandparents to have cancer he would have been the most likely candidate!

Cancer took my mum when I was 14. Going through a couple of years (GCSE's and A Levels) that could define my future then this happened. I just stayed at home for 2 months, got into a lot of trouble as I was just lashing out and in the end, failed GCSE's miserably. I let that define the next few years of my life.

I am now (at 22-23) trying to rebuild everything. I have a mortgage, I have a new job that I start soon and my partner and I are awaiting the arrival of our little girl (late March!). It was the 8th anniversary a week ago today and it hurts like hell. I still miss my mum (wow, how very soppy)...

Ermmm, anyway, erm, fk YOU CANCER, YOU fkING ....

Don't take this the wrong way mate but that is a fantastic post.
You're going to have a great life and I'm sure your mum would be as proud as punch.

fk off cancer, take a look at this bloke, you can't ruin every fking thing.

Thank you. Possibly the first time I've ever seen someone start a sentence with 'don't take this the wrong way' and then say something that couldn't be taken the wrong way

My Dad died yesterday. My Mother had called on Wednesday to say he was declining fast in the hospice where he'd spent the previous ten days.on Wednesday night, when my brothers and I arrived, he was still lucid and able to look at photos and videos of his seven grandchildren.

By Thursday morning, passages of lucidity were both increasingly brief and rare. By Friday morning, he wasn't conscious at all. We sat with him, talked to him to try to make him know we were there and then went out for lunch at 1.15. at 1.35, the call came, so we had to leave out lunches and come back. It was obvious this was no interim stage, as there was nowhere for him to go but death. He looked very different, even from the emaciated old man who'd been breathing raspily half an hour earlier. We all said our farewells in our own ways and then took my mother home.

It had been expected for quite some time, but it's going to take me a long time to adjust to no longer having my father.

Damn that disease.

edit: just noticed that iOS had turned "emaciated" into "emancipated", although I suppose he has now been emancipated from the cancer.

Really sorry for you Zod.

The small consolation is, as Steve says, that he isn't suffering anymore and that you were able to be with him in his last moments.

[Champhill]

Sorry to hear that fella

Here have a couple from me.

"Oy cancer you fing fk! Fk off!!

[longshot]

Really sorry to hear that Zod.

It does, and probably at about the same rate - but they don't have friends and loved ones to come on here and say "fk you cancer you insidious evil fking ."

Just to echo the general sentiment, cousins mother passed away mid forties from breast cancer, and a mates my in her early fifties.

The old man had a spot of bowel cancer in 2005 which he beat the dirty , unfortunately cancers mate Dementia beat him on the 6th of March this year. He put up a good fight lasting 5 years but to cancer and dementia I say fk you, go crawl under the stone that you came from. One day your days will be numbered.

I think the london cancer drinks is a great idea, could even generate a few funds to fight the .

[JapFreak786]

Cancer is evil!!

[Zod]

Thanks, chaps. I appreciate the messages.
