Cancer - do me a favour and just get LOST

You have now taken my SIXTH family member. You have well and truly made your point so now do me a favour and just get lost.

How DARE you?

One was hard enough but to keep returning until you have wiped out my family is undeserved and unjust. And don’t bother going anywhere else to destroy someone elses heart. Just f off into oblivion forever, taking NO-ONE with you.

You owe me that. You owe many of us that much.

Its in every family its just true and cancer and heart decease are likely to take us all. I have two parents who have it and god knows what the previous generation died of i'm sure the death certificates are not accurate. Take on a proactive approach to the living and get them checked out where possible and stay positive.

Sorry you are so sad.

You’re right. My boss said exactly the same thing about cancer being the only thing that gets us in the end, he thinks this is the only illness we haven’t totally squashed yet.

Sorry to hear your news Flowers

I read that the stats are 1 in 2 people will get cancer now Sad some will beat it, some will be in remission and some will be beaten by it.
I lost my Dad to Prostate Cancer this year. He thought a cure had been found but the drug companies were hiding it as a cure would mean an end to the need for their unbelievably expensive drugs.

Yep I also read those stats. Bastarding disease. I hadn’t thought about what you said but now that I have heard it it does make sense. I know I’m not the only one, but 6 immediate blood relatives is such a lot.

It feels like as soon as I start to laugh again I am penalised for it.

I statistically have an 88-92% chance of getting it because of autoimmune issues.

So sorry about your Dad FlowersI miss my family so much, my heart hurts.

@Fottfsoftfusm I've given up asking why because there really aren't any answers. I'm sorry to hear your family has been hit so hard by it.
