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.

turns out, it's not pancreatic, but prostate. (I couldn't even remember the name right)
thanks, all

all my best wishes remain, but that's much much better news, pearsonic! you must be slightly relieved.

My friend Mike, who I mentioned upthread, has cancer again. Only now it's a non-recurrent form and it's likely terminal.... again.
After he moved to Atlanta, at first, we stayed in touch more often, but over time, I didn't chat with him as much.
We were always more "in person" friends, and I was still stressed out from the nightmare move I conducted for him. He visited a few times, we occasionally hung out, but I was often busy or distant.
He kept returning to FL to keep his doctors, who were supposed to do a few more chemo sessions to get any residuals, and he could resume normal life. Then today happened.
Everybody is stunned by the news today, but he's shellshocked. I was already supposed to see him Friday, as I had msged him to make plans. I feel terrible for being distant in recent months.
But it's fucked how he saw normalcy on the horizon only to have it cruelly yanked away.
Fuck cancer.

damn. sorry for your friend. hopefully they can outrun it with the latest drugs. either way, it sucks.

Sorry to hear that Neanderthal. Cancer is a cursed thing.

Cancer is a cursed thing.
indeed.
for a few years now i have hung out with a lovely lady for the odd pub lunch etc.she has been brilliant for my well being.and now, out of the blue (sort of) her older brother has several evil lumps that mean his time is very limited.to say this is massively triggering me would be an understatement.i am not close to the brother at all, but seeing him deterioate in the same way BH did throughout her chaos is all a bit too much for me to deal with again.i feel very guilty, however, i am struggling re the direct connection with such chaos again.not that i can say anything to anyone.
f*ck getting old.and f*ck cancer.

Im pretty fuck cancer heading into removal surgery in 2 wks, since my last biopsy was high risk and shitty. If they beat metastasis it’s perty good for a long life, but if not it’s pretty 2-4 yrs in most cases depending where it’s gone to. Looking good so far in the scans tho.
After my last injury and survival, i’m pretty trigger proof really. Fuck cancer tho

Thanks, appreciated. I’ve gotta lot of assumptions in my head, but I’m expecting to live a lot of adaptions inconveniences and limitations. But I’ve already been doing that quite a lot in the past 6 years and I know that being receptive to comment and advice from the people whom you love is the must useful (and accurate) posture.

hope you get some good news soon my friend, this not knowing must be awful

Initial pathology came back looking good for a cancer free outcome for at least a while— possibly a good long long while. I’ll know much better in a couple months. There’s still a lot of pages to turn. Thx again tho.

Devastated to find out that a friend of mine passed from pancreatic cancer a couple months ago. I didn't know she was sick, apparently she was diagnosed around the beginning of the pandemic and didn't say anything about it outside of her family - which fits her personality as she was always more interested in what you were doing. Played a small role in bringing me and my wife together, outstanding teacher, made a mean gin-and-tonic.
Fuck cancer. Fuck it fuck it fuck it.

I’m so sorry to hear of your friend’s passing ET, that is an awful thing to learn, on top of a terrible loss. Screw cancer.

"small role" wtf am I saying? more like "did you ask her out yet? g'on!"
― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 7 January 2022 07:17 (two years ago) link
I'm so sorry to hear that. She must have been an incredible person to navigate both cancer and the pandemic for so long without letting people know how ill she was.

Sorry to hear, ET. Fuck cancer.

One of my best friends in the world got diagnosed with stomach cancer yesterday. Not great survival rates, even when it's caught early.
Fucking gutted right now.

That sucks so sorry to hear it. I lost a good friend to leukemia a month ago, he was 38 and had a challenging life but was doing his best to improve himself. Such a tragedy regardless. (And Elvis the pancreatic kind got my dad a couple of years ago. You have my condolences as well.)

Thanks viborg.
I need to get back into therapy. Don't think I can handle helping a friend through this stuff without being massively triggered.
