Fuck off, do you hear me? Now just fuck the fuck off Angry

Yesterday, we said goodbye to my Uncle after a long fight with Cancer. My wonderful, brave Uncle Sad

Our family friend is also terminally ill with bowel cancer. He had a rupture, and had to have his bowel removed via emergency surgery a few days ago. This is the one thing he never wanted to happen. All he wants is his dignity Sad

Today, I find out that my Best friends MIL has also now been diagnosed as terminal. All she had was a sore hip. Her body is riddled. She's got two grandchildren she cares for due to family reasons. I feel sick to the stomach about what could happen to those wonderful boys Sad

How many more? I'm so angry tonight!

My old boss's wife died of cancer at 33. She thought she had injured her knee ski-ing, but her kneecap was one big tumor. She fought so hard, it spread to her spine and her lungs. She was desperate to be a mum, but it never happened. Sad

Trazzletoes · 10/10/2012 22:04

Cancer is shit. Really really REALLY fucking shit. DMil 7 years ago, just after our engagement. I miss her every day.

DS was diagnosed last week. Desperately hoping he is one of the lucky ones, but already sick to the stomach at what his little body is having to endure less than a week in.

BASTARD SHIT.

My dad aged 67 then my mum aged 54. Never lived to see their grandchildren.

My lovely mother in law last month. Adored her grandchildren and they adored her. Now they haven't got her either.

Fuck you cancer. Fuck, fuck, fuck you.

BustyDeLaGhetto · 10/10/2012 22:22

FUCK YOU CANCER.
My DF has just finished months of horrible treatment for throat cancer which has whittled his joyful, gregarious personality to a shadow.

Expat - your daughter is the reason I signed up to the Anthony Nolan register. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Its a hideous disease which robs people of so much which they hold dear to them, my thoughts are with everyone on this thread.

Yama · 10/10/2012 22:22

My lovely wee brother aged 32. He left a baby daughter. And all of us of course, who miss him every day. He had bowel cancer - truly awful.

Trazzletoes · 10/10/2012 22:23

Tuttutitlookslikerain · 10/10/2012 22:32

Trazzle it is not fair, not at all. It shouldn't happen to beautiful, little children. Please, please, please shout if there is anything we can do. Anything at allxxx

Rindercella · 10/10/2012 22:38

I posted on a friend's FB earlier, when she said a friend of hers had just died from it that cancer is, a fucking bastard disease.

I lost my beautiful, wonderful, gorgeous DH to it 18 months ago this Saturday. It is shit. What happened to him was shocking and shit and painful and unbearable. Until you see it up close like that, you just don't 'get' what a bastard it is, do you? Sad

I am so sorry for everyone's losses and Trazzle, I wish you much love and strength and hope your gorgeous DS comes through this.

Cousin non-hodgkins lymphoma - died age 40 - 10years ago
My darling dad last summer - died aged 85 -brain tumour
Aunt (Dad's sister) - aged 70 Brain tumour - she is very close to the end now
