fuck cancer

Have been wondering if anyone has heard from or about onimo? I could do a search, I guess...

In other news, I had an atypical neoplasm removed from my face, now it turns out the genetic marker that makes me more susceptible to colorectal cancers has a different name in the skin cancer world and also makes me more susceptible to skin cancers. Going in for a full day of numbing and scraping at my face in late July. What can ya do? To think I used to be in films

Best luck

Onimo celebrated his birthday recently and there’s photos posted on his FB page showing him out with family and loved ones, which is good. Let’s all keeping sending the best thoughts.

yeah, best to table and onimo

Good to hear about onimo, Ned, thanks for the update

And of course, thanks to all of you <3

erg, face-scraping sounds like zero fun, Tabes
<3 to you!!

best wishes tabes!

And indeed, best wishes indeed, should have said that earlier!

Yeah, good luck, table! Sorry you're having to deal with this crap.

I saw onimo in actual real life last weekend, the two of us and our other halves went out for a meal and a few drinks as a belated birthday celebration, he was in pretty good form. I'm sure he'll be back with an update before too long, but I'll tell him folk are asking for him.

Best of luck, table. And all usual "fuck cancer" vibes all round.

Best of luck table.

Thanks for the news, Ailsa.

Thanks for the update, ailsa. Very reassuring!

My dad’s prostate came out today, hopefully along with 100% of cancer cells appertaining thereto, doctor reports a very straightforward surgery, wish I were home with him and my mom but my sister is visiting me and hopefully we’ll be able to talk with them before my sister goes home tomorrow. Haven’t heard how my dad is feeling yet.

Best of luck to him! I think my dad's biggest complaint about prostate cancer recovery is that he...uh...'dribbles' a lot, iykwim

Yeah same--my dad had to deal with incontinence for a long time. I think more than dribbles tbh. I don't have a prostate so ymmv but based on my dad being not really okay afterwards I might recommend some thought of who to talk to about the emotional impact later on?

Best of luck, sil, and congrats to your dad for being a cancer-free survivor (we hope!)!!

Indeed so! My dad had his surgery back in the mid-2000s and sailed through it well enough, hopefully the same applies here.

Thanks folks he’s watching Kyle Schwarber hit dingers so in good spirits I think.

Currently running through a set chemotherapy permanently tired.

Onimo, always sending love! Nice to hear from you

my dad's postop labs look good and we're on a three-month pause before checking PSA levels again and considering followup radiation. Grateful for my dad's attentiveness to his health. Get those labs and scopes done gents!

Aw, that's great news!

Yup!

best of luck all

Sideways icecream cones from here to Onimo as well and good luck everyone with all of this crap.

just found out today that my dad has pancreatic. this on top of a multiple myeloma diagnosis about two years ago.

"fuck cancer" truly

(have lurked here for years)

Fuck cancer. I’m sorry to hear it.

Fuck cancer. I’m sorry to hear it.

v sorry to year that <3 fuck cancer

Very sorry indeed, what a misery.

I'm so sorry to hear that, pearsonic.

Sorry to hear that. Sending you good thoughts through the ether.

Fuck cancer, sorry to hear this, man.

Bon courage, pearsonic, and fuck cancer.

Very sorry to hear it.

sending best wishes to you, your dad, and your family <3

I'm so sorry.

sorry to hear this pearsonic.

thinking "fuck cancer" a lot today because Greg, the singer in the band Delays, some of you might remember them, I've known him since the late 90s, never close friends but we keep in touch. he has had stage 4 cancer since 2016, had a big crowdfunding campaign to get a drug which has given him a few more years, he has spent the time making some brilliant art, imo better than his music even, and a book of poetry. anyway he put up a post yesterday saying he has moved into palliative care now, which is just a really sad thing, felt like he would miraculously survive for a decade or more.
