The "Fuck you cancer!" thread

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.

So sorry to read this - sending positive thoughts your way

Sending you my best, and also to your doctors and care team as they reconnoiter and figure out what the best options are for you.

Let me know if you need anything, I am still close for at least another month or two. Even if it's just a drive across town in the mustang topless...

For the docs...it seems like our crisis is never theirs and our timeline is unimportant. Guess they need that level of objectivity but shit it is frustrating as hell, to me< to see them behaving so calmly and matter of factly . Hang in there and FUCK YOU CANCER!!!

I was just informed that another member of my family has been diagnosed with lung cancer. Fuck Me! Fuck you cancer! FUCK YOU!

Another

Little complication from the chemotherapy....seems I have a rather large stomach ulcer (I have a history of these) that chemo really, really exacerbated. The usual treatment is a long (21 Day) course of antibiotics but mine has been deemed to be too big for this treatment and probably requires surgery. The minor challenge with that is that my ability to heal is compromised because of the chemo, radiation and low white count...another lovely complication...


Must admit I am starting to feel overwhelmed...

Fuck you complications

FUCK YOU CANCER !!!

Deep sigh for you cmslt. So sorry you are having to deal with these things.
So fucking totally unfair.
Take a deep breath. Do something frivolous for yourself - just because.
Or crawl back under the covers and hide for the day.
Its okay to feel overwhelmed. It is overwhelming.

But you WILL get through this too.
Sending you hugs and good thoughts for what comes next.
I know it will all be okay. Not right away... but eventually.
Take care of you.

FUCK YOU CANCER

I just wanted to add my thoughts and hugs. Overwhelmed is a tough place to be. I hope you find some peace - or atleast a little less "whelmed" - in the near future.

That is so terribly unfair *GIANT HUG* ...but what about cancer isn't unfair? Fucking disease is like one of those invasive plants that keeps wrapping its tendrils around your favorite flowers! I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!!! I'm embarrassed to share this but will anyway...I went out and found a big Maple tree, pretended it was cancer in person and I screamed at that bastard until the venom and the tears were out of my system. Crazy, huh?? *LOL* But it helped me. Then I pulled myself up and i warriored up because choice number two SUCKS! Only positive thoughts and prayers are headed your way!!! FUCK YOU CANCER!

Cascadia, I hope your mother is feeling strong.

Thanks Elle -
Mom has had some of the worst and most unusual complications and side effects that her MD's have ever seen with chemo.
But she now has an end date. August1
Big sigh of relief that she will begin to feel better in the not too distant future.

Hopefully the side effects will prove to all be reversible.

Sorry to hear the news smtst5. Prayers with you and your family.

I cant say that I am not nervous about tomorrow, thinking of the worse and praying and hoping for the best though. More results and just a Doc visit tomorrow afternoon on my tumor... I am still no cut on me if he that wants his only option. I got other options in mind and lined up.

Reading researching and seeing so much out there versus cutting... Even changing diet to go more towards the alkaline food side instead of acidic food.

Will relay the info and let all know when I do tomorrow.

Hey Cascadia. How you doing lately?http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/hug/hug-2.gif

The whole link to diet and illness is amazing and sometimes confusing. With my husband's situation - ALS - there's a ton of research being done on toxins in the liver. Many ALS folks have reported symptoms slowing down as they've started eating "cleaner" and upping supplements. My husband lost 70 lbs in 2 years and decided he just wanted to eat whatever he wanted to eat.... but I keep wondering about what we put in to our mouths and the correlation between stuff like cancer, motorneuron diseases, etc.

Thinking of you - best wishes for positive info tomorrow.

The odds are greatly in her favour.

Euh, so I don't have a personal story to share. And it's not even about cancer but I guess it's relevant. I found out a few days ago that a family friend (not incredibly close or anything) who had to get a knee removed and replaced with a titanium implant due to a nasty mixture of arthritis, gout and decayed bone marrow, had been rushed to hospital and came awfully close to dying (He's eighty-something now, to be fair) after his chiropractor had dislodged a build up of fluids from infected tissue that was collecting in the knee implant, during his visit to "treat" the knee pain instead of going to a hospital and getting a routine 10-minute drain.

Fluids drained into his muscle tissue, poisoned all the cells and prevented cell respiration, cutting out the whole affected area was probably on the cards but fortunately that didn't happen.

So before this I was already aware that people in severe medical strife were more prone to seeking out these new age so-called "treatments" if their actual medical treatments weren't effective or, if in the USA, they couldn't afford them. But I didn't know anybody personally who put stock in the stuff, and this was quite surprising because he's unquestionably an extremely smart person who I wouldn't expect to fall for the likes of a chiropractor.

Please don't let yourselves or relatives be duped by these people. Whether they're sunlight-therapists, magic crystal growers, urine purifiers, chiropractors, 'herbalists', psychics, faith healers/"positive-energy" people or salesmen of emotional water (No, really.), they're not harmless alternatives, they have no medical efficacy and the unempathic human alligators that push these 'alternative medicines' target the sick and distressed like a vulture circles a lonesome sheep in the middle of the Sudanese desert.

OMG - I see this all the time in the ALS online groups I'm in. People are spending thousands of dollars on vodoo.

I'm all for trying things that make you feel better. But science. We can debate big pharma NOT finding cures just to keep the money flow. But you can't tell me bee sting therapy is going to cure ALS. (Yep, it's a thing.) People are spending $1000 a month on a supplemental protocol that has helped 25 people. I guess someone thinks they'll be #26.

You bring up a really good point, Consilience. People who have no hope will cling to anything just to have one more healthy day.

Good heads up for all. Funny you let everyone know about the scammers. I had one call me tonight. Breast Cancer of Florida, but by the time i got to the phone they hungup. Boy I was going to let them have and shock them with the tumor I got..

But on another note. This is where I have been on one of my researches... Looks like just good healthy food for you, loaded full of B-17.

Been here. Doc OZ believe or not. Ran across it by accident on one of my Google searches...
