Cancer...

....sucks. :evil:

One of my mams best mates has jus been diagnosed with cancer in the neck. She now has to have an operation which will leave her with a huge hole in her neck, her facial muscles will be damaged so much she wont be able to smile or blink in one eye, so it will have to be stitched closed. Then radiotherapy etc. This is an obsolute bastard.

Fancy being eaten from the inside out by this.

My nana also had to have a breast removed due to cancer, which means its in my genes. Gutted. I watched my ex's nana's husband dwindle away with throat cancer - he'd never smoked in his life. How can this still happen??? I donate monthly to cancer research (anyone else who wants to can here http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/donate/giveonline/ ) but I wish I could do more.

Feeling pretty shitty atm

Oh alrite ill remember the next time

One of my best mates died of cancer when i was 15, still makes me feel sad now when i think of him even tho it was 8 years ago. He was the fittest lad out of all of us, really good at most sports and never drinked or smoked when the rest of us were just starting to try different things, just goes to show it can happen to anyone no matter how you live your life. Seeing my pal on his death bed was a thing i'll never ever forget, i wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy.

Thats bad Mark m8

That not nice not at that age

Just read this thread and im gutted for everyone and I hope the people affected can find comfort from somewhere. My ex had a minor (only because it was diagnosed early) form of cancer early this year. I never understood the technical terms but to put it simply it was in a sensitive place for her. She had to go for tests and would be in pain for days. I was really scared for her and didn't know what to do. It turned out that it had been directly caused by smoking and she was only 21 at the time, so obviously she quit. She had the final operation to remove it and was fine, thank God. She has been fine every time I have seen her so I hope it has gone for good, as I would never wish that kind of ordeal on anyone, because even when the doctor finally said it wasn't critical the thoughts that run through your mind can be awful.
