Cancer fucking sucks

I knew a guy pretty well who died from cancer. We were sort of friends, talked a lot in high school, I always gave him ride homes from work, but never really hung out. He was a few years older than me, but very interesting and had a hard-luck life, although he graduated college, so he didn't embrace his hard luck and run with it like a lot of people do.
Anyway, like 2 years ago when I was 20 and he was 23, he got cancer. It started off as a pain, and he saw the doctors, who told him it was nothing. Two weeks later, he had a tumor the size of a small orange and the doctors told him he had a year to live, and he made it to about a year 1/2.
I visited him, and it was so sad looking in his eyes. Those eyes just carry a look that you can't describe. The pain, the suffering, and the realization that this is the fucking end. It's just awful. He talked about how his luck in life had always been bad, and that this didn't surprise him one bit, yet that he was cool with it.
Chemo must fucking suck. You can see why so many people prefer to die rather than finish out their Chemotherapy. And then you can't even legally smoke some herb,but have to take a bunch of shitty pills.
C'est la vie...

It'll get many of us on this board, I'm sure. That is just how the cookie crumbles...

Of that I have no doubt sadly.
I've lost too many to cancer already. Some of the closest people in my life such as an aunt that did about half of my raising or an uncle who did his part to unraise me. Wonderful memories now with sad ends.

Cancer is a bitch. Lucky for some people, they can beat it. I am very lucky to have my girlfriend with me now. Last August she had two Brain Tumors removed. The first one was the size of a Softball. After removing it and doing another MRI the doctor discovered another one, albeit smaller, growing in the same place. In they go again.
She is still with us with all her facilities. Though she does suffer from severe head pain. California disability just ran out, now we are waiting on her to get approved for permanent federal disability. She can't work do to the frequency of her head pain. But lucky for me and her friends and family we still have her with us.

i wish i had cancer instead of what i have had for the last six or seven years now. thatd have been a piece of cake in comparison. not saying that cancer isnt a horrible thing though, cancer does suck.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day.

I am very sorry to hear that you both are suffering or have loved ones who are suffering. Locus, I can't help but think you want someone to ask, what? What do you have that is worse than cancer?

Sorry to hear about everyone's troubles in this regard. Cancer is one of the few things in this life that truly scare me. I watched my father die from multiple cancers, mainly a stomach cancer the size of a football and tough as leather. At the end he was in a coma, doped to the gills on the maximum allowable dose of morphine, and he still screamed when we turned him over to ease his bedsores. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
May we all live long and healthy lives and die peacefully in our sleep in a contented old age. Amen.
