The "Fuck you cancer!" thread

[LucyBee01]

Just feeling unreasonably sad today as Mum was admitted for her planned visit to hospital. The last couple of months you would not know she was ill in any way and now she is going into hospital where she will get really ill from all the treatment they are due to give her.

FYC.

I'd feel sad too if I were in your shoes. On the other hand, being in a hospital is a pretty good place to be when you'll need to be waited on hand and foot due to sickness and pain and depressing thoughts. I hope you'll be able to spend plenty of time with her to help her through this. Companionship, even when it's silent, can be a huge help. I know this far too well.

Thank you MWY for your encouragement.
Yes, I hope to visit her regularly and fortunately my dad is able to stay close to the hospital during the week so can be there with her a lot of the time. And I hear good things about the nurses and doctors there too.

It is so hard to deal with our loved ones having cancer and cancer treatment. For me, it was easier to deal with my own battle with cancer. The grief and sadness and dread are almost overwhelming sometimes. We need to remember to take care of ourselves and find someone or someones to help us, so that when we are with our loved ones, they get the positive swing in our emotions...the hope, the courage and the perseverance. I will think positive thoughts and send positive prayers your way!!! FUCK YOU CANCER!!!!!

Thank you scotluvsoral. Yes, you are right - I am fortunate to have a few people I can really lean on in that sense and indeed keep getting reminded to look after myself so that I can be a source of strength and positivity when I visit Mum. First visit tomorrow which I think will help us both a lot. The treatment won't have had any bad effects yet so an easier first visit.

Mum has been in hospital for two weeks now. She has been told she has reached the lowest point and should slowly recover from now on. Fortunately she has not reacted too badly to the treatment. She still has her hair even though she has been told that she _will_lose it. And she is still fairly chatty

So now praying for a smooth and speedy recovery.

Adding my prayers to yours.
So glad you can be with her.

A family member previously fought breast cancer, now she has been diagnosed with bone cancer in her spine and ribs. She's in so much pain. FUCK YOU, CANCER! YOU FUCKING SUCK!!

She has been given just a few weeks to live, if that. I haven't seen her since we were younger, but I already miss her, grieve for her and for those in my family closest to her. Feel the hole in our lives that was her.

FUCK YOU CANCER! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU!!

So sorry CnC for your grief and loss.
Fuck you Cancer.

 

[Collar_N_Cuffs]

Thank you both. The hard part is that she is far, far too young to be taken, and the second child her mother will have lost. Very difficult.

I had a cancer, right in my fucking brain edging me out into nothing. Inoperable and deadly, turning my thoughts into this painfully wracked mess and driving me to despair. It was fucking terrible. When I got rid of it through the glory of chemicals, it caused enough damage to break my heart and force me to replace a heart valve.

Fuck cancer, fuck brain tumors, fuck all of it and now it's done. To those going through that shit, I was there and I fucking understand the rage and despair. God, it fucking sucks, but don't let that piece of shit kill you.

I'm so sorry, my friend.

Positive thoughts and prayers sent to you and your mom, LucyBee. Stay strong and be as positive as can be. You are her connection to "normal"...she'll need that as time goes on.

This scenario is only too familiar CnC...my sympathies to you and your family for having to deal with the illness and future death of your family member. It is never easy to deal with or accept and less so when they are younger I think. Sending positive energy your way.

I'm so sorry, Collar!

 

[Collar_N_Cuffs]

Thank you all. I'm just hoping for a mercifully quick end for her at this point.

So sorry CnC.

 

[LucyBee01]

Thank you for all the kind comments re: mum. All much appreciated.

Amazing news! The doctors decided she was doing so well they discharged her from hospital yesterday! Didn't see that coming

So she is now home resting. She will need to go back on a weekly basis for a few weeks for tests and then can go to the local hospital for further check ups.
Yey

My brother hasn't coped at all well with mum being ill and I am due to skype with him tomorrow.

This is wonderful news for your mother! Does she have a Macmillan nurse? Are her GP's being supportive? She is obviously a strong woman. Hmm, who does she remind me of?

Your poor brother. Is he able to get home to see her?

Hi Elle . Yes, think she has a Macmillan nurse and possibly another specialist nurse she can call on with any queries. Fortunately she lives close to the local hospital and outpatient centre, so once she has finished visiting the London hospital, it will be fairly straightforward. Yes, I think they are being supportive.

My brother lives near them, but he didn't visit hospital and I think he finds it hard to see mum when she is very unwell. Hum. He needs his own help really. He said he was going to speak to a Macmillan nurse regarding support for relatives, so I hope that helps.

Yea!!! For this good news.
Hopefully now your mum is doing better, your brother will start to feel more at ease. Sounds like there is great support for everyone there.
Sending my best.
Hugs from across the pond.
