To say cancer is a t**t

[Girlsworld92]

I'm so so lucky in many ways, fab husband, lovely house, gorgeous children, great friends, financially secure but this week has been hard.
My friends partner has been diagnosed with cancer out of the blue, one of my most gorgeous friends has potentially got to fight it for the second time & my FIL has only months to live due to this shit head disease & he's in pain. The reality that this is his final Xmas is awful. In every other way he's healthy as an ox it's just so cruel the way it's taking over his body.
Awful awful awful.

This git of a disease took the last of my best friends 3 months ago - that's 2 I've had stolen by cancer and the other by a drunk driver. She left a devastated husband and 5 dc, the eldest is at university and the youngest is only 5.

Yes, indeed, it is a fucker. (Sorry for the swearing, but cancer deserves it.)
It's taken my DF, 28 days after he was diagnosed (pancreatic cancer), and my then FIL (lung cancer). Also my aunt (we don't know where her cancer started, probably her breast, but she had metastases all over her body, including her spine).
It's a difficult road to travel.
Awful is not a bad word to describe it, but I'd also add cruel and unkind.
My biggest sympathies to you.

Cancer is an absolute c**t.

It took my grandad when I was 19, prostate that spread all over before we found out.
It took my Mum when I was 24, lung cancer, I only had 6 months with her before she passed away, so much pain and suffering.
It took my little brother two years later, ewings sarcoma, he had just turned 25 and had his whole life ahead of him.
5 years later and me and my other half will be spending his first Christmas without his mum, this time it was liver cancer and she battled for over a year, she wasn't even 60 and had so many plans for her retirement. My best friend had lost her mum to ovarian cancer a month earlier. I really really hate what it has done to me and my family and I hate that so many others will have to go through this. Big hugs to everyone who has lost someone or is going through this xxx

Thank you all for sharing your stories. I'm so sorry for your losses, what you have been through and what you are going through.
I hope that anyone going through it has a successful recovery.
Feel free to swear, share & rant.
Thank you for listening. I didn't know where else to just say
RRRRAAAAHHHH. THIS IS SHIT
💐💐💐💐 to you all

Cancer sucks but, unfortunately, the chances are that most of us will deal with it at some point. I know it's easier said than done but try not to let the bitterness spoil whatever time you have left. Take each day as it comes. There is help and support out there but you might have to find it yourself or even fight for it.

Cancer killed my dad, cancer is a complete and utter cunt.

It’s a fucking cunt! It took my fil who was a lovely man and my brother at 40 got the all clear just a while ago. My brother is the softest,gentlest guy, pretty much a golden retriever in human form. He didn’t deserve it, no one does but it seems so unfair .
