fuck cancer

What an awful time pbkr, I am so sorry.
absolutely fuck cancer

good luck to your friend, tipsy. a friend of mine had a different leukaemia. he's basically ok now (apart from Covid shielding) but it was a really tough time for a long time.

Sorry to hear PBKR and tipsy. Strength to you both.

Love and strength to your loved ones and you both, tipsy and PBKR.

Jesus, fuck cancer indeed.

I'm so sorry, PBKR and tipsy.

Fuck cancer. I hope everything works out OK.

Best to all of you <3

I know that it's the fuck cancer thread, but sometimes we can all use some good news here, so I just thought I'd share that my colonoscopy this week came back clean, and I won't have to have another for two years. I was very nervous, and of course the process is ungodly gross and hellish in a certain way, but I am very relieved.

<3 <3 <3 table

I have to have one of those every year now in hopes of avoiding the thread topic.

Fantastic news table

yaaaay tabes

table do you not get fully anesthetized for your colonoscopy? I've had a total of one (1) and they knocked me out and woke me up after and it was all in all kind of a nothing experience.

While we are on that topic: after procrastinating and not dealing with that for several years, I recently spoke to my new doctor, the one who was on call when I first had my COVID symptoms, who prescribed the box for me, and the result just came back negative.

Good to see some good news, table!

Seconded.

Fantastic news, table.

Table!!!!

That's great news, man

Very happy for you table.

Awesome news, table!

that is good to hear

good news table!

glad to hear it too.

Thanks y'all!

Mom had surgery last week to remove her brain tumor. Surgery went well, though there are the expected after effects (mostly language issues) which should resolve. She will be starting pretty intense radiation and chemo at some point as well. Baby steps.

Glad surgery went well, thinking of you and her!

thanks, tabes.

congrats on babysteps!

ah fuck. close family member has breast cancer. really hoping they can start treatment quickly. covid hasn't helped with all this, but they have had their jab a few weeks ago. I feel quite helpless not being able to do anything.

sorry to hear. one of my oldest friends has breast cancer, and is having surgery this week. luckily, the fact that she lives in a crazy polycule sex situation worked to her benefit— she caught it early.

That did make me smile :) best wishes to her. I think this was caught early too and survival rates are generally very good. Just hate the fact we can't jump in a car and go down there - or maybe we can, if they are willing to take the risk, I dunno, but when, it's a headfuck.

Good luck to everyone coping with this thing.

I'm not really coping at all at the moment. Hoping it's a blip rather than the shape of things to come.

onimo, I wish you strength/peace in dealing with your struggle.

sending good feeling your way, onimo

recovery is not linear progression, new heights await

Chin up, G. Here if you need me x

Same here mate. Dunno if you still have my # or not but feel free to contact any time

Sorry to hear that, onimo, I hope you're doing a bit better soon. And yes, if there's anything random internet people can do to help, please give a shout!

my dad is in hospital with sepsis and one of my best friends is in hospital with bacterial and fungal infections and may not make it out. I haven't wanted to post about this on ilx after last time but fuck it. fuck everything

she has a little boy about 10. I haven't been able to visit since September. fuck this

Fucking hell, I’m so sorry CP.

So sorry to hear, CP.

I’m so sorry. Wishing them both the best and hoping that they come through it.

man, can you stop hogging all the misery and suffering for your family and friends? share it around, send some to elected Tories.

i’m so sorry CP <3

<3

Really sorry to hear you've gone through so much shit recently CP. My mum's twin sister has 3 different cancers right now and at the start of Rona it wasn't looking good for her and the NHS wouldn't even operate on her. But somehow now she is still going and they have decided to operate on her now so there might be a dim glimmer of hope.

Goddamn. Best to all for sure.

sending hope and good vibes, cp
