The "Fuck you cancer!" thread

Just putting this out there and I will admit to shamelessly fishing for good thoughts.

Sister goes for a second opinion this week. I will admit that I hold out very little hope. But perhaps y'all's good thoughts and/or prayers will be enough to augment my own bit of pessimism.

You know sis's (and your) good vibes antenna is on full time, full-power operation.

For my part, variety number two of chemo is scheduled to start next Tuesday (1/14). We're hoping this one doesn't include the taste/appetite/swallowing side effects variety one did. Speaking of which, since they put the PEG (feeding) tube in, I quickly began being able to eat small, then larger, then normal-sized bites, then medium and normal-sized meals, and I've gained almost 20 pounds back in the past month. (Part of that is just plain pigging out on stuff I've missed so badly for most of the last year; part is just being able to take more in and get it into my system.)

Thanks, you guys. I am trying to work up some positive vibes of my own.

SW~ that is fantastic that you are not only getting your appetite back but your taste buds as well. I think that was the one thing Sis was most happy to have back. For a while the only thing she could taste were Cheetos and Orange soda. I was really starting to worry about her.

Trying to think of all the things you should eat.. chocolate cake? something very rich and calorie laden.

Chocolate éclairs and hot chocolate laced with double cream!

When he was little, my son had trouble eating and putting on weight. I am an expert at adding calories! Butter and cream are your friends

Wow! You guys are simply amazing!

Got the results from sister's second opinion. This new doctor is not as fatalistic as her previous doctor and is requesting a few more pieces of information before deciding which clinical trial would be best.

Also it looks like the cancer is out of the main organs (still hanging around in the bones and lymph nodes but out of the lungs, liver, kidneys). So now it is a matter of keeping it contained within the bones and under control.

This may be the best news I have heard in 2 years. I will admit, I am afraid to celebrate too much or get too excited. But I have at least gained a little bit of optimism.

Hey Cancer, you cell mutating, life altering fucker. I’ve got something to say to you. I am NOT a survivor, you did not leave me bloodied on the side of the road, I beat your fucking ASS! I AM A WINNER!!!

When Muhammad Ali beat down his opponent did they say he “survived” his fight? No, they said he WON his fight. When Mario Andretti took the checkered flag did he “survive” his race? Nope, he WON. As I did, when I trounced your cellfucking ass, arms raised in victory, big ass belt around my waist, huge loving cup in my hands, I kicked your fucking ass!

For everyone fighting this bastard, keep fighting, keep winning.

FYC!!!!!!

My father died of cancer more than 40 years ago. I was very young. Options for treating and defeating the horrible disease were limited and not very effective. We have come a long way, I know, but it seems to me we should be further along than we are.

Strength and courage for those involved in the fight, both those who fight it physically and for those who love and support them.

So I join with all of you and say loudly, FUCK YOU CANCER!

My aunt has breast cancer and had a masectomy done on one of her breast so now she's doing chemo. Then, a week after finding out that my aunt's diagnosis, my cousin's cousin was diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkins Lymphoma. He's only 21.

So yes, Fuck you cancer.

There is no "Fuck You" like a "Fuck You Cancer."
