There's never going to be a good time to tell you
 

That beest has advanced cancer :cry: It's a horrible shock, we don't really want to talk about it (please respect that), but we at least owe you guys the knowledge of what is happening to us. Chemo starts Thursday. And don't offer to cook meals or clean the house. We know you mean well, but we just need rides for the boys to keep them on our usual completely crazy unmanageable schedule. We understand if you're too far away ;)

And yes, still atheist. :flipbird:

Aw man, fuck cancer.:mad:

I'm glad you told us. And this sucks. And we (silently) got your back.

cancer = chemo = no fucking. which is fun. so let's "DrWho" cancer and go back in time and mess up that first mutant cell mmmkay? ;)

Fuck Cancer

Fill some paintballs with a cocktail of wonder drugs, and hunt that sumbitch down.

many paintball experiences on the bucket list, apparently

sadly, the next big adventure was this weekend coming, so this is not a go, but he did get cleared to paintball with his port, so watch this space :D

Thanks for letting us know beestmonster. We'll be watching.

It's better to know. I respect your wishes and so my silent thoughts are with you. Go kick ass as always.

Fuck cancer. I'll say no more than that.

Good. Gotta try to keep things normal where you can and enjoy what you can.

You've also got my silent support.

What the cock

This blows so many donkeys I stopped counting at infinity.

Super fucking shitty.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop, hon. Hugs to you both.

'Dr Who' the almighty fuck out of cancer.

Praying for you guys anyway. :flipbird:

Fuck cancer.

What Grav said. Except I'm not gonna flip you off.

Friendly flip off, friendly...Hope you guys know that, Beest & Monster & clan.

oh yes, it's the family greeting

Not saying anything.
You know what I'm thinking.

Just thanks for telling us.

Shitshitshit fucking fuck...
Damn ... :(

Thinking of you and beest and the family. Very sorry you're going through this.

That's shit. I fucking hate this world sometimes. Thoughts are with you from over the pond. xx

Thank you for letting us know. Everyone, atheist or not, could benefit from prayers. I will silently send one or many your way.

We're here with you. Fuck cancer.

Fuck Cancer

:(

There's never going to be a good time to react

:) This is just a way of keeping you all updated so nothing comes as a hugemongous fucking horrible surprise. . We know you care, thank you :)

Power to the Beestmonster.

Uggh. Thinking of you all.

Fuck fucking cancer. :(

*hugs*

OK, maybe I'm ready to talk a little. Maybe one of the hardest and easiest things is he just doesn't look sick. No-one knows unless we tell them. His doctor is kind of flabbergasted by this. He said when we met he expected him to be in a wheelchair after seeing the images. he still says he doesn't look sick and he is surprised every time. he also said he shouldn't play paintball anymore because he has to take blood thinners and the welts might be risky.

:rolleyes:

...so here he is a couple of weekends ago, all set to play with his team in Indiana, 'cept for the small matter of the chemo pump still attached and running in that sexy black fanny pack. Chemo infusion actually lasts 2.5 days -first 8 hours at the hospital then home with the pack. Once it finished, he removed it, taped the armor we made from the bottom of a coke can over his port and entered the fray :D

Fuckin A. never give up. Go Beest.

Coke can armor... Nice

I like Beest's attitude. I sincerely believe that has a significant impact on his physical health health, and I know it has everything to do with his mental health. I'm rooting for you Beest.

I really don't know what to say that doesn't sound trite or cliche, but I'm sorry you guys are having to go through this cancer bullshit.

My thoughts are with you all.

And mad props for the DIY armor.

It's hard to know what to say.

But I will say that the couple times I've been lucky enough to hang with the beestmonster clan I've been impressed with beest's demeanor. He has this quiet strength about him. In my opinion, that is a big compliment.

The Beest be hardcore.

:fingerx::fingerx:

What Grav said.

Yeah, hardcore, look who he married. :lol2:

He's as hard as woodpecker lips.

He's harder than Chinese arithmetic.

Headed to Rome in two days to see the things he's always wanted to see. it was supposed to be in the "good week" of his current oral chemo treatment, but today doc declared that a dead duck with growing tumor and new nasties so he's back on infused chemo the minute we get back, and we have a letter requesting last on and first off the long haul flights. And some anti clot shit to go through. but we're still going. when I heard there was bad news yesterday. I was sure we'd have to cancel. sorry, just can't be arsed to capitalize sentences properly

Not good news but could be worse news. Hope the trip goes smoothly for you.

Glad you are going anyway

Rome is beautiful ... or so I hear. Hope you have an awesome time!

Yes. What they said. Hope it goes well for you. X
