The "Fuck you cancer!" thread

[Devlishone4fun]

Hey Thanks CB and so many others I have received pm's from.

Go tomorrow for chest x-ray and then on Thursday do my Pre-Op. Everything so far scheduled for surgery on July 6th. Follow up will be on the 14th of July.

The Dev is not going down that easy....

Shank, Aztecs, cmslt - great news all around and pixel beers are on me.

Devlishone and emmy_Christine: FYC! So glad you found this thread. Death to cellfucker and keep plugging!

Daus, I'm pulling for your litster.

Gypsy, I have seriously missed you. Good thoughts for your mom.

And I have a special longtime litster friend who is starting chemo soon and needs plenty of good thoughts, should you have any in a closet or junk drawer...

And I made it through the one-year anniversary of my mom's death.

F.Y.C.

WOW!!! Congratulations on making this milestone and being DONE with radiation. So proud of you for your perseverance.

A big FUCK YOU CANCER.

Thanks so much Cascadiabound....

 

[cmslt2326]

HOT FUCKING DAMN!!! Wait...that wasn't my internal dialogue??? Congratulations! Keep up slaying the evil cell sucker's ass! FUCK YOU CANCER!!

Hot Fucking Damn indeed!!!...lol Scotluvsoral you do make me smile...

 

[cmslt2326]

Had my one year check up, still cancer free. Fuck you cancer

Yayyyy!!! Happy for you and happy when the cell sucker loses it's hold....hoping you stay that way!

FYC

 

[cmslt2326]

That's dreadful . But it's behind you now, so hopefully the healing will progress and you will start to feel better. You're so brave to have chosen to have such painful treatment

Happy it is over and I chose this treatment because of the aggressive nature of the cancer....Improving every day thanks LallyH

 

[cmslt2326]

FYC.......need love and good thoughts for a longtime Litster! She is in a battle and all spiritual powers are needed!

Praying!

PSA = 0.00 - looks all clear, down from 30.2 in November last year. Very happy news.

Next follow up in 6 months.

Now if we can get this damn stress incontinence to stop. It has diminished to the point where I'm no longer afraid to sneeze or laugh and I am wearing just a thin "dribble" pad, and the Doc expects that within another 12 months all will be back under control, but still - Fuck You Cancer...

Happy your PSA is good Shank and praying the incontinence and other side effects subside soon...Stay strong my friend!

FYC

Glad I found this thread. I was going to start one in the PG, but no sense now. I don't think it matters if it is here, GB, GLBT, BDSM, PG or elsewhere on Lit.... For once we all are in agreement. We all feel the same way about cancer....

I lost my Step-Dad a little over two years now. He fought it three different times and beat it twice. But the third time, the brain cancer was just to much for him and it got the best of him.

Now I just found out Friday I have a tumor in my bladder, along with some kidney stones. They going to operate and remove it in about two weeks. I already beat the skin cancer over ten years now. Two different surgeries had finally remove the melanoma and no chemo afterwards.

Hell Fucking No!!! I am not going to let this beat me either!

Fuck you Cancer and the big tractor trailer of shit you carry, but guess what I am a big ass freight~train of fight and you fucked up again, because I am going to plowed you down when you cross my tracks this time. You will lose again and I will win this battle against you too! Now kiss my Freight~Train of Fight you cowardly Cancer!

Fuck You Cancer!

Exactly...kick it's ass!!! Love the attitude and FUCK YOU CANCER!!!

Not the anniversary you wish, but glad you made it through it! I love all the successes but so fucking hate the losses we all have suffered. Sorry for yours bro! FUCK YOU CANCER!!

 

[cmslt2326]

All the F****you cancer friends.
Question, I went with flying colors through the chemo Adriamycin & Cytoxm (4X)
Now I m having 4X a less toxic one Taxol. But its kicking my ass badly, special horrible joint pains. Anyone here that had Taxol and has a home remedy to ease the pains. The pain meds only do so much. THANK YOU.

And if anyone in NYC or the Westchester area knows a store where to find fun head scarves please let me know. I find enough online but its one size fits all and I have a very little euhm head.
Thank YOU again.

AND F**** YOU CANCER

I hated taxol...much worse than AC (though they are no fun either). They make a drug called Gabapentin for the neuropathy and nerve pain (really helped me).

Over the counter I used aspercreme or ben-gay and as nasty as the smell is...it helps...

Thank you, oh bouncy one.

It was rough, and I know these milestones are pain-grenades for everyone. But the roughness taught me stuff about myself and about my family, and that has ultimately been a Good Thing.

I read every post on this thread. It is one of my go-to threads. I thank god for DGE for starting it and for being a steady voice here.
Mom has 10 more weeks of daily chemo.
She thinks her lungs are not being unduly damaged by an odd toxic reaction to the chemo. She is awfully tired.

As so many have said - these things do crystallize the importance of living each day to the fullest. And creating things that matter - doing things that are an "add" for others - that are kind, not hurtful; that buoy people up, not bring them down.

~~~~~~​

Update: Mom's blood work came back okay.
But the specialists have revised their opinion about how long it is advisable she be on chemo from 12 months to 36 months. Which is a LOT longer.
I think she will probably end up doing 14 or 15 and decide that is just enough GDI and I do not expect anyone to argue with her over it.
But it is difficult to live with that kind of recommendation and then not follow it.
Regardless of the well reasoned arguments you can make.
we shall see.
Thanks for your good thoughts, prayers and concern everyone.

Wow....BIG difference...no one can tell her how much is too much but I will continue to pray that her body holds up better than expected and she withstands enough to kill this nasty disease....

Thinking of you too...stay strong my friend....Watching Mom suffer is brutal no matter how old you are and I am lifting you up too CB...

I'm too tired to scream Fuck You to cancer just now, but I will say how cruel I think it was to take my friend's grandmother away. My real ire is spent on the family. You really couldn't wait one whole week to take her beloved pet to the pound? The pet you promised to love and cherish as your own until the end of its days? To start the infighting amongst siblings, to cut out the children of the one daughter who preceded her mother and not let them have a single scrap from her house, nothing at all to remember their grandmother by? Fuck you, people. I'm disgusted at the "personality" you unleashed the moment she was dead. Fuck you, greedy bastards.
And fuck you cancer. You suck as well.

A not uncommon situation regrettably, and I'm sorry you had to be a witness to it.

My mother had seen it happen amongst her family, so a few months before she died, we spent a rather strange afternoon together. She'd asked me to get some very small labels (she was blind by this time) and we went through all her treasured possessions of jewellery and trinkets - I called them out to her and she gave me a name to write on the label and stick it on somewhere unobtrusive. It was very uncomfortable for me at at the time, having to face the reality of what we were doing, but she was so wise - it saved any argument once she had gone and made my job as executor so much easier, and she was happy knowing who would get what.

Yes, she did the same thing, and her kids promptly ignored every wish she expressed but didn't include in writing in her will. A lot of ill will in that family right now. And added stress. But it's a side tangent here. Sorry everyone, just feeling a bit low being around all that negativity.

Well didn't go as planned and expected in surgery today...The tumor was bigger than they first thought, so now talking more surgery and who knows what before or after.
