AIBU to think that cancer can go fuck itself

[YukonGold]

Sorry for the title.

My best friend had been in remission from breast cancer for 12 months.

This week we learned that it has come back, lungs, bones and brain. What a fucking disaster. I’ve been been crying all day.

Sorry, I don’t know what I’m expecting from this post but I’m completely lost.

Shit shit shit. I don’t know why I’m posting except that I’m shit scared, mods please move.

Just fuck yourself cancer, I’m not being unreasonable in thinking that you can do one, bastard.

You can post here if it helps you. It’s a hell of a kick in the teeth. Vent here so you can process your feelings, that will put you in a better place to continue to support your friend.

So sorry to hear that OP. Your poor friend. You need to look after yourself as well

Cancer is an arsehole and the unhappy truth is we lose too many to it

Thanks, I’m completely lost.

I can’t quite believe it, I’m so wading in jelly.

Sorry all. I’m just using you all to be a bitch and to see my friend seeing this Christmas.

that's shit

It is shit and I’m absolutely gutted, I’m going to lose a best friend in about X months.

I lost my husband to cancer. 105 days from diagnosis to holding his hand as he left this world.
Sometimes life is shit and there is nothing you can do to change it. The only thing you have power over is the support you offer your friend and her wider family. Be there for them in whatever way they need you to be. Let your friend know she is loved and not alone. Don’t be afraid to cry with her, hold her and even rant about the unfairness of it all. But in all this take your lead from her. Be what she needs you to be.
