fuck cancer

I’m really sorry, Suzy.

so sorry, Suzy. It's all unbearably unfair.

I’m trying to be thankful that the hellish, non compos mentis part of Kelly’s illness was so short. Right now, I’ll take what I can get.

sorry for your loss Suzy.

Also thinking of the improvising guitarist John Russell this morning, who has just had a cancer diagnosis. Fuck cancer.

sorry to hear that Suzy, what a wretched month it has been.

My sincere condolences, Suzy. Fuck cancer.

best wishes and hugs suzy, and CP too and everyone else in the thread :(

i'm so sorry suzy <3

Christ, hugs to you, suzy, and to you, calzino.

My deepest condolences, suzy and calzino.

My condolences, Suzy

I'm really sorry to hear of this Suzy, my condolences.

2020 is a shitfest.

I’ve started a Facebook fundraiser for CLIC Sargent, who continue to support us with Casper (who is very well), because it’s my birthday next week and charity donations have fallen through the floor because of corona lockdown. Thought I’d link it here because, well, why not? If it raises an extra £10 that’s worth it.

Condolences to everyone who’s lost someone. Strength to everyone dealing with cancer right now.

Is there a way to donate other than through Facebook? I’d like to contribute.

My wife’s running the London Marathon for the same charity - she’s deferred to 2021 due to covid, but still fundraising. You can donate here:

Thank you!

You’re welcome!

i’ve not been able to handle this thread for a while due to the absolute shitfest my incredibly good and beautiful and wholesome and entirely selfless friend has had to endure for the past 18 months. rupert murdoch lives on but the best and most deserving man in australia doesn’t. the first person i came out to in 20 years; the man who set me on the path to accepting myself, and to conquering internalised phobia and losing my shame; who helped thousands and thousands of people to be proud and to be themselves; who always put his own astronomical problems on the backburner to help everyone he possibly could; who lived his best life as fiercely and as proudly as was humanly possible. taken down by this cold fucking disease.

huge huge condolences to everyone in this thread who has dealt with unimaginable shit. you have my deepest and truest love. cancer is fucked.

Goddamn what a cruel situation to be in. My heartfelt best.

Lots of love, man.

indeed, take care autumn almanac. :(

:(

Wishing you all the best, AA.

Awful and cruel. All the very best AA <3

I had to take time away from this thread (and ILX in general), but..

Colonel Poo, I thought of you and your wife often during my absence, and after reading the thread just now, want to send you a lot of love.

Everyone else dealing with the loss or illness of loved ones, I also send you a lot of love.

I should say: my tumor counts are non-detectable as of a month ago.

My white blood cell counts continue to be low, but low immunity seems to be something I'm just going to have to deal with for the rest of my life.

Thank you all for being so kind and supportive in 2019. I hate this thread but love the support it provides.

xoxo

thanks table, and best wishes to you

AA I'm sorry you've had to deal with this shit too

thank you everyone. i’ve not been in the headspace for this thread. massively appreciate all your thoughts. the funeral was live streamed because we’re still dealing with the rona here, so we’ve not seen anyone in person and are unable to feel any sense of closure.

tabs & poo: i don’t have sufficient words, except that life is fucking unjust and i’m standing with you. tabs, your non-detectable tumour counts is/are great news.

FUCK CANCER

Seriously.

Word.

This is the worst year.

Yep, fuck it

fuck cancer, fuck this year, all of it

FUCK CANCER

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck cancer

What everyone else said

my dad has bowel cancer. he had throat cancer 4 years, we don't know if this is secondary cancer related to that or a new cancer.

one of my best friend's lymphoma also came back this summer. she is having a stem cell transplant next month, if that doesn't work that will be terminal.

I guess this is just going to be my life now.

I’m so sorry, CP.

Fuck... So sorry CP. It just shouldn't fucking be like this for you <3

So sorry to hear this, CP. Fuck cancer indeed. Best wishes for your dad and friend.

Sorry to hear, CP. Sending you and yours lots of love

shit, that is awful news CP. love to you & yours x

CP, it’s been such a shit run this year, hasn’t it? Solidarity xx

I’m sorry, CP. that is awful.

Damn, man. Much love to you and yours.

My condolences. Fuck cancer.

I’m sorry CP, I really feel for you.

I'm so sorry man - fuck cancer!

sorry to hear that CP. Life can throw some real dire shit at you in succession at times :(

Best wishes to you and those you love CP.

You've maybe noticed all is not well with me these days.

I have a tumour in my brain.

I'm going to hospital today to finalise a treatment plan with surgery next week.

I'm struggling with confusion and finding/writing words and some weird foggy perception stuff but steroids and other drugs are helping.

I'm permanently suppressing panic while trying to appear fine in front of the family.

Everything is moving fast which is good and bad and scary.
