Dealing with Cancer

the only advice i can give to friends and family of newly diagnosed
is to accept you personally have no control over the disease.
you can only support the person on their journey whatever the outcome.
I just hope you all have a decent outcome.
 
Couple of days and this disease will have taken my dad 2 months ago.
doesn't feel that long but also feels like he's been gone a long time, odd huh.
I've been coping quite well, had some bad days but on the whole i have accepted it.
This week has been a bit tough as i have been off work and the weather has been pants
so I've not been able to do much outside so been thinking to much.

How is everyone else getting along?

  • Lost my nan to it and my dad is going through chemo for it now

    Was diagnosed myself with it 6 years ago and am now cancer free but it has left me with chronic infection that means I will have my right leg amputated at the hip sometime in the future

    On the plus side I'll get a blue badge for my car so not all doom and gloom

Sorry to hear about your nan and I wish your dad
Success in his treatment.

will you 100% have to have the leg off in the future?

This is such terrible news, cancer is so horrible. I have many relatives that have been effected by cancer one way or another. Lost both of my Grandmas to breast cancer.

I cant imagine the pain you went through when your Dad was suffering.

God bless you @movingtables and your Dad, RIP.

I regularly contribute to Cancer Research and suggest many do, to help support new treatments.

Well my last chemo will be next thursday and thats the 6 months worth of ABVD gone quicker than i expected.
Doctors think that i am clear already going by earlier scans and all my blood tests (got more holes in me than swiss cheese) but... well ...you can never be sure.

Still i can take a lot from this, one thing more than anything though - Fight. Always fight it, right to the end if you have to but never give up.

Sadly my mum passed away this morning. She was taken into hospital about a month ago with a chest infection. We were hoping she would recover for a while to see spring. But with cancer, COPD and finally pneumonia she gradually declined further and further.


She had a lot of family around her the last few days and my brother and I slept in chairs at her side for the last few days. She knew she was never alone. She died this morning with my brother and I holding her hands and hugging her. The hospital nurses have been incredibly kind throughout.

Smoking related cancer has taken my dad (17 years ago) and now my mum in the most horrible way. Along with my mums partner dying unexpectedly earlier in the year, and my mother in law a few months ago, it has been an awful year. Too many funerals.

Hold those you love close to you.

Always on my mind more coming up to Christmas.

Miss my dad a lot, 2 years have passed now for me, hasn't gotten much easier but I think I've just grew stronger and more able to deal with it.

I am 4 months losing my dad.
Sometimes it feels like weeks ago and sometimes years.
odd I know.
 
How is everyone getting on dealing with cancer during these challenging times?
my dad passed away 16 months ago from stomach cancer bless him.
Things didn't really get better as my mum died 9 months later of covid / stroke in April this year.
Now it's just me and my brother rattling around in this mini mansion.
I do like the electric gates but i liked my parents much more :)

stay safe folks.
