The "Fuck you cancer!" thread

Hey guys. I haven't been on here lately. To tell the truth it has been too hard. Things with sis have been a complete rollercoaster. We have moved into the ups and downs, the anger and fighting stage.

I come here and I lack the energy to put it all down, to speak of every little grievance and pain that I have. It's here bubbling around inside and I just cannot bring myself to share it.

Goddamn, I hate this fuckin' disease.
 
Another CAT scan for Mom tomorrow morning. Every six weeks.
Fingers crossed...

My thought are with you for a good outcome. But know that no matter what comes, you will find a way through it. hug! :rose:

*quiet warm lingering hug* You are doing enough and you don't have to say anything. I'm sorry it hurts. Please take care of you, too. :rose:

Sorry to hear about your sister, but it's good to see you around.
 
Hmmm...

"I thought about asking for a Rx for medical marijuana, but it'll just give me the munchies... any chance I can get a Rx for a really really kinky escort, that's into OTK spankings? Purely therapeutic, of course. I have a little angst to work out, regarding rear ends."

Only you, CM, only you. This is brilliant. And while I doubt I'll ask for it next week, it will definitely be on my mind. mwah! :rose:
 
Going to see SW tomorrow. I wanted to take some extra time and decorate his room, so I'm staying the night at a friend's and visiting him both Saturday and Sunday. His old counselor called today out of the blue and asked to meet with both of us. Apparently he went and spoke with SW today. I don't know what was said that is causing him to come in on a Saturday. I'd be anxious but I'm so drained there's no room for any new emotions.
 
Soft tissue fibro sarcoma. My second go around. This time around I am not doing radiation. After meeting with radiation oncologist 2 weeks ago and deciding not to go with the therapy I received a registered letter from his office. "You have received a diagnosis of cancer. This letter will serve to notify you that this diagnosis could result in death. Please contact my office if you would like more information."

Fuck it!

You are both held so very closely in my heart.

I hope you can both enjoy the extra day despite the meeting.

Sorry to hear about the recurrence.

I guess that kind of letter is necessary for legal reasons, but it sure doesn't make for good "bedside manner".

FUCK YOU CANCER!!!
YOU MAY HAVE TAKEN MY PROSTATE, BUT I CAN STILL TOUCH MY SHOULDER WITH MY SEX ORGAN!!! (tongue to shoulder):D

That's the spirit! The tongue is a powerful tool, in so many ways.

You've got taste, bud.

This one is for my good friend who had a double mastectomy earlier today. FUCK YOU cancer!!!

Hey Cancer! Pfffft!!! I blow my nose at you, you wiper of other people's bottoms!!!!

The waiting is always unpleasant, isn't it? I am rigging my magic 8-ball for you. 🎱

Forget Obamacare. CutieCare. It's good for America.

Eh. No need to put anything down or spill. Who needs one more chore? Just know that the space is here if you need it, and you have some thought-thinkers.

:heart:


As always, Daus comes through with a magnificent visual.

Jesus.

Beyond the diagnosis and gutwrenching decision, is it really necessary to send that letter worded in that way, in order to avoid potential litigation? Is it necessary? Is there no room for a drop of humanity even in the mechanics of a bureaucratic machine?

Fuck it is right.

Please. Take care, and come back.

Stars! You have to use stars! If you have them... :) Give him our love!

And thanks for the 8-ball rigging, Deeege!

Unfortunately, yeah, physicians who don't document "informed refusal" carefully are at risk of litigation. They may not even have much say in how stuff like this is worded; my first guess would be that the oncologist's malpractice insurer requires them to follow this process, as a condition of their insurance. Something like that would be drafted by a lawyer whose brief is "prevent litigation", which means an extremely blunt letter saying something along the lines of "refusing this treatment may kill you".

It comes down to: being sick in the USA is horrendously expensive, somebody is going to end up paying the bill, and nobody wants it to be them :-/

Some background on this issue here ("informed refusal" section) and case examples here and here.

You are welcome. I have new keyboard options in iOS 8 and I'm gonna use 'em. I'm wondering if you can see the 8-ball emoticon. Yes?

Thank you for the info. Okay, I get that. Lawyers.

I live in a mythical dream world where people are kind. Form letters say things like, "God. Cancer. That sucks so bad. We hate to have to do this at a difficult time, but our carriers at Soulless Insurance require us to make sure you know that this shitty-ass cancer could well kill you if you refuse treatment. Yeah, you know that, but we have to say it. Let us know how we can help."

This is the sort of fantasy world in which I reside, and why I am often disappointed.

This is really cold.

Any chance that a genetic targeted cancer therapy might have some effectiveness?
 
Thankful that Mom's cancer hasn't spread, or grown this time around.


VERY thankful.

yay!


and FUCK YOU CANCER!!

A big FUCK YOU cancer!!!!
 
On behalf of a very dear sweet precious Lit friend...a goddess...daddy's girl...

Fuck you, cancer. I know I'll see the end of you someday, when what you've taken has been returned, and you're never seen or heard from ever again.

:rose:
 
I saw SW this weekend. I got his room all pretty and posted pictures of a bunch of people. He kept asking where his cat was. I didn't bring it this time so I got him a big stuffed lion to keep him company until I can bring the cat up again.

He wanted me to take a look at his computer and make sure the internet was working. I fixed it again but I don't know that he'll actually use it, so he may not see your messages anymore. Please keep posting them, though. He is mostly just sleeping.

He also asked me if I took a picture of him sleeping with Harley and if so, would I share it with you all. I want to respect his privacy and also don't want to upset anyone but he really wanted me to post it and made me promise, so here it is.

They both look very peaceful.

Thank you so much for the update and picture. Harley is an amazing cat. I can tell how much he loves SW to be able to just curl up and sleep with him in a strange and I'm sure a little scary environment. SW looks very calm and relaxed, too. Good thinking with getting him a stuffed lion to hold him over when you (and Harley) can't be there.

Thanks again for sharing.

:rose::rose::rose:
 
Thank you so much for sharing this pic, YK. SW is indeed my favorite cat person!

Sending you both love.

I am back at Lit after a several year hiatus.

My Mom had ovarian and uterine cancer. Two months after she was diagnosed, I was diagnosed with Uterine cancer. I was fortunate that it was benign after having surgery.
Then 4 months later, my Mother passed away.

Fuck You, Cancer. I will no longer let you hold me down.
