Sept 11, 2010: Fuck Cancer

To all who post here, who have or have had cancer, or who have friends or family with it, you have my sincere empathy. Having lost both parents, two sisters and a brother to that disease, and having it myself, I want to second what Bruce said, in that wonderful large font.

Fuck cancer.

Can I get a bigger font, here, please?

OMFG! That really makes you think. Fuck Cancer.

I guess I'd choose that over the long lingering pain-filled cancer that took my Mom. 52 is too damn young though.

I have to agree with Griff on choosing that over the long lingering part - as much as it sucks all the way around.

I'm glad I had 13 months to cherish time with and say good-bye to my daughter, (although I'd never wish 13 months of cancer on a 2 year old - mine or anyone else's) but I'm glad my step-Dad only had 6 days of cancer filled time. It was strange losing him after only 6 days of knowing he had cancer, but very little time for pain-filled cancer for him.

And as for your friend, hopefully he had that week to say and do some things that he wouldn't have if he'd lost his life suddenly......I guess I always try to find some little "bright side of things"....I know that has to be irritating to some!

And most of all.......................

FUCK CANCER!!!!!!!
