The "Fuck you cancer!" thread

[Shankara20]

Been many years since I was on this sight. Last time was me personally saying fuck you to cancer. Today I post on behalf of my love. I have loved this man for almost 40 years and 2 summers ago he joined the "fuck yes I have cancer club." But this is the greatest Valentine's gift he could have given me....his new scans show he is in remission from stage 3 colorectal cancer.

* Fuck You Cancer.....you insidious creeper you *

WOW!!!

Fuck you cancer for taking my mom's best friend.
A decline so fast it has left family and friends bereft and heads spinning...
Brain mets caused a lot of scary symptoms in the last days....
I'm so sorry mom. May he rest in peace

Thinking of your mom and of you as you support her in this loss.

We lost a fighter today.

Sorry for your loss. So many fighters taken from the world.

FYC

I am sorry. One of my family members went out that way; it was pretty awful.

Two of my closest friends were going to get married in early 2020. Her mother had cancer and was given six months to live, so they wanted to tie the knot while she was still around.

Then the pandemic hit, and we went into lockdown, and the wedding got postponed again and again. But this weekend they finally got married, on a perfect winter day... and her mother is still hanging on and made it to the wedding. I don't think she has a lot of time left, but she looked so glad to be there and I can guess how much it meant to my friend.

FYC.

A friend had surgery this week. We'll find out soon how it went. But yes, FYC!

My best friend lost her husband last month. A more casual friend lost her daughter last year. A friend of a friend, and the mother of a family member have recently been diagnosed. FYC.

To those currently fighting and to the ones supporting or grieving, I send my deepest love.

Update, for anyone who's interested, surgery went really well. Still a course of radiotherapy to do but looking OK so far.

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

Fuck You Cancer.

I’ve honestly lost too many to count between family and friends, but three of the most important; my dad, my uncle, and my favorite cousin.

Had my scare last year, but a MOHS procedure got it.

Fuck Cancer.

 

[AngelicaS1780]

On behalf of the Chaosians, I say fuck you, cancer!!!!!
Fuck you up the ass with a hot poker, cell invader!!!

 

[Wonderer67]

To my friend, Bob. I hope you beat this, motherfucker.

As Angelica stated above: Cancer. fuck you in your greasy, motherfuckin ass, you cock sucker.

 

[kathyisgr65]

Fuck u cancer for taking my dear friend and making her life hell for way too long before she left this place

 

[gracie920101]

I have a friend on the East coast and one on the West coast fighting pancreatic cancer. West coast is losing but East coast is still in chemo.

Fuck you cancer, you fucking cocksucker.

I guess I should mark the milestone of October 2007, followed by radiation a few months later. At this point, it's just a blip. I remember going through the usual emotions, connecting with the cancer community. Which was hard because some cancers don't have much of a community because of the rareness of some cancers. Anyway, the oncologist radiologist lied about side effects from radiation, then provided meds that didn't help for nausea. It took 6 months to feel normal.

Glad you are still with us and it *only* took 6 months to feel normal
I really do not understand medical professionals not being straight with patients about what they are in for... at the very least they should (IMO) take the temp of a person as to their preferred level of information.
Managing side effects of all of these treatments is much more complicated and much more important that most doctors seem to understand. I function of their relative youth I believe (among other things)

Even the most basic and common side effects, like getting thrush after a course of strong antibiotics.

I get the feeling some doctors, especially specialists, have a very compartmentalised mindset with lots of areas mentally marked "not my job".

At least we're no longer in the days where it was routine for doctors to lie to women about things like a cancer diagnosis, and only tell their husbands...

Well there's that.
Le sigh

I think they do compartmentalize a lot, yes.
When I had my first child, she had to go to neonatal care and I was in the maternity ward getting treated for health problems related to pregnancy and birth.
When I found myself in the public elevator in the middle of the night, tits mostly out of the gown, so exhausted I was unable to remember if I had nursed or was going back to my own ward after having nursed, I’d had enough.
After I told the doctors at both wards that I would no longer act as a go-between and that they had to actually talk to eachother to solve this, it was suddenly possible for me to get a room at the neo ward and still get treatment at maternity.

I think there is a fear that patients will refuse important treatment for fear of side effects too and a lack of understanding of what patients allreasy know and what information they need for decisions.

We have a service (FASS) that is accessible for anyone online were you can find any medication or substance of medication, with uses, dosage, side effect etc. You can also access the part of the system intended for medical professionals, if you are curios about things like breakdown speed or pathways, how it might interact with other meds etc.
It’s a great complement to the info the doctor can give, thst you can return to on your own schedule and when questions arise.
