fuck cancer

Goddamnit. Very sorry Colonel. Wishing you two all strength and all the best.

Damn. Love and best to you both indeed.

best to you from a chemo vet.

And now my wife has MRSA and has to go back into hospital, again.

The surgeon is blaming the oncologist for sending her for mastectomy too soon after chemo so her immune system was still too vulnerable. We're supposed to be trusting these people, tbh it's pretty unprofessional imo to say that, it's not like the surgeon didn't know she was having chemo and she didn't say anything at the time, just sounds like she's trying to cover her own arse.

So now my wife is probably going to be stuck in a ward with a load of incompetent nurses sitting around doing fuck all again, why is it always a Friday when she has to go in, seems like they put all their worst staff on at weekends. The ward she was in last month there was an old woman with dementia who'd had an eye taken out after she fell and skewered it on something, they had a nurse sit with her to keep an eye on her, she kept trying to remove the bandage and stick her finger in the eye hole and the fucking useless nurse just sat playing with her phone and let her do it. My wife had to keep trying to get the nurse's attention to point it out.

JFC. Sorry CP.

Sorry CP, you're really being put through it all. That's terrible about the nurse/surgeon. Once that trust is put in question it multiplies anxiety x10000

If it's anything like US hospitals that person was probably not a nurse though they are happy to have patients think so

CP I'm so sorry you're going through this

sending u good thoughts and some vintage punk rock vibes, CP

My mum's cousin has cancer now too. Fucking cancer everywhere. What are the fucking odds. 4 family members in less than 12 months. First cousin once removed might be stretching it I suppose.

sorry that you're going through so much shit cp. hope you haven't got too far to travel between home and the hospital

our best to you all in this horrific situation M

I'm reminded today of small mercies. B is between treatment at the moment. I can't even imagine what it would be like if we were having to deal with the hospital with the computer system down. Even this makes me feel guilty that there are people out there facing utter confusion.

Fucking incompetent bastards :(

Patient transport supposed to be taking my wife to radiotherapy. They fucked up the appointments so nobody came this morning. My wife phoned up PT to see what was going on and they said they'd sort it out and send someone. Nobody came. So I call PT and after being on hold for ages they can't find anything on the system for today still. They have to speak to supervisor and call me back. Turns out the person my wife called this morning fucked it up and put tomorrow instead of today. What the fucking shit is wrong with these cunts. So no radiotherapy today and we'll have to try and sort it out with the hospital, I guess they'll put in an extra appointment at the end of the treatment? There's no fucking end to this is there.

I'm sorry for you and anyone who suffers incompetence in these circumstances, Colonel.

Cancer fucked. My wife has just finished her last dose of radiotherapy. That's the end of her hospital treatment - she'll be taking hormone pills indefinitely.

Mixed emotions today. Happy obviously, but worried about the future. Odds of reoccurring are high. 5 year survival is 40%.

I'd say be present in the moment man

Congratulations, I'm really happy about your news.

yeah it sounds like at least some move towards hope - pleased to hear it. good wishes to you both.

all the best to you both - tombot's advice otm

Ta. Is the correct advice. Bit emotional right now (right now? lol when am I not) but I've got a while til she gets home to pull myself together.

Godspeed, Colonel. I'm still here and thriving (mostly) 5 years after my diagnosis so leave those stats alone is my advice.

Best to you too, Morbs.

Re stats, if this was 20 years ago we'd be looking at 5% survival at 5 years so there is that at least.

all the best to you yes, it seems to have been a horrendous time but a note of hope now yes

Very glad to hear this man, you've been in my thoughts a bit, my best to you and your missus.

Congratulations to you and your wife for getting through treatment. Here's to the best possible path forward.

Congratulations and best wishes to you both. Hope you have a long overdue chance to relax, try to de-stress and do what Tombot says. Wishing you all the best.

Echoing all the above -- absolutely best to you both.

after everything you've both gone through the tears are understandable. best to your wife, that is pretty damn good news:)

Fingers crossed for you pal and B.

This is very good news, C.P. Best to you both, hope you'll be free of hassle for a long, long time.

Relieved to hear this news, take care of B (and of yourself as well, obviously).

best news i have heard in a very long time.

onwards CP.

Three friends / colleagues are undergoing treatment for cancer at the moment. One a little older than me, two younger, one of them by several years. Two of them have breast cancer. Prognosis is good for all three - all caught early and acted upon.

But still.

Fuck cancer.

Hopefully things are still going well for you and yours, CP.

my older sister was diagnosed with breast cancer last month. because of the size of the lump she was going to have a mastectomy pretty much straightaway, but when they got the results of the biopsy back it was a different strain to what they'd expected (don't ask me what) so she's been on a course of chemo since christmas instead. my wife's actually gone upto see her today to go with her to get her head shaved because it's just been falling out in big clumps. been stuggling with the cycle of sickness and tiredness. her doctor has told her that it probably won't kill her but it will be a horrible few months of treatment, so she's just gone into grit-yer-teeth-and-get-through-it mode. fuck though, these things just come straight out of the blue at you :/

One of the people I know with breast cancer was my direct report at work until November, then she got the job as my backfill while I'm working on a project for a year. She's 32, planning on getting married this year, in good health, no family history of breast cancer. Literally come out of nowhere.

Fuck cancer.

Fuck you, cancer, for taking my (LOTSA people's) aunt Sally today. You pathetic weakling bully, you had the doctors convinced that she'd last no more than half a year, but she fought you for more than double that, and still found time to work on her arts/crafts, turn 80, cheer the kids (and kids' kids, and other people's kids) on in their various pastimes, raise & release a coupla monarchs from pupae, finally try edibles (underwhelming), and see her latest (twin) great-grandbabies, #s 13 & 14, almost beginning to stand. All the while gleefully bitching about the usual, like the Blue Jays' playoff pratfalls and casino meals and the jackass moron president down south, and especially the ailments you gave her; and always with a laugh and a smoke and an ashtray at hand. She fought you every step, motherfucker.

sorry :(

thanks ums

fuck this god damned cuntball of a shitting fucking fuck

sorry for vagueness, i have no words but need to spray words

aunt sally sounds like a wonderful person MVB who clearly made the best of her groove.
if i get to see any great grandkids then i will die a very content man.

that said, still it needs to be said often : fuck cancer.

6 years on and i realise just how young me and the lads were to experience such dark and heavy times.
life now is so different than it was meant to be.
today is easily the worst day of the year for me.

:(

for what is worth you seem like a really good person, who has gone through some hard stuff, and I genuinely hope you are feeling better tomorrow.

My wife had a scan last week. Saw oncologist today. Cancer is back, spread to her bones, don't know how long she has. More chemo. In shock I think

Fuck, sorry to hear that CP.
