Is there anyone?

[aNaRcHy_BuRgEr]

Is there anyone that's had their lives affected by cancer in some way? it would be nice to find someone to talk to. My aunt has had cancer for a few years now, but recently had a nervous breakdown and is now hospitalized. She can't see properly, talks to herself and people in her head and is hallucinating all the time. The doctors wont do a fucking thing for her and we're all sposed to just sit here and wait. She almost had a stroke last night and I dont know what to do. If anyone has experienced this, please pm me or post

my brother had brain cancer twice and beat it somehow. but the treatment for the second time messed him up big time. 6 years after that we discovered it gave him luekemia. he died a year later. so the treatment bought him 7 more years at least.

and now my sister might have cervical cancer. we wont know til feb 8th or so.

cancer sucks ass

i have to say, i dont feel bad for lung cancer victims who smoke..does that make me evil?


but otherwise, its a tragedy.

My father died of lung cancer 2 and a half years ago, and I watched him on his last night. The most you can do is to just be there for them and give whatever support you can. It might sound cruel, but it's better for them to pass quietly than suffer, so just be there to support them.

"i have to say, i dont feel bad for lung cancer victims who smoke..does that make me evil?"

Doesn't make you evil, it's your right to feel that, but if you cannot feel even a bit of grief for them or their families that's just cold...

My grandma and grandpa both died of lung cancer. It's different with them and the younger generations, because everyone did it, and nobody knew about the harmful affects. So I feel bad about it.

[i like guitars]

ya my grandpa died of cancer, ever since he died i have not wanted to go to the philippines

[troublelovesme]

my grandmother had cancer. i'm not sure what kind, because i was really little at the time. she died from it when i was seven.

[lightcollapse]

my step grandmother died from lung cancer and she smoked. but she was old, and started smoking when it was considered cool and healthy. so she was addicted, and i felt horrible for her.

One of my best friends had cancer a few years back.

One of my class mates died from cancer when he was a sophomore...sadsadsad.
My Grandpa died from cancer.
My uncle has leukemia.

[Bozan]

One of my best friends had cancer a few years back.

Same for me, he had to stay in hospitals for months, and he's still under medics, and had to do regular check up, but he's well, he got a bones cancer. That's fucked up his left legs upside part, but he can walk now.

I think the only way to really beat cancer is to stay with people, and don't going drepressive. He was fine, and we used to help him mentally, that's affect really much on feeling better.

Good luck for you. Just stay like things going to be better and not worse tomorrow. Even if it's really hard.

My mom has had it twice, my grandmother, my uncle, my other grandmother, my grandpa

[aNaRcHy_BuRgEr]

thanks so much you guys for everything u've said i really appreciate it, im glad i got to see it from someone elses perspective. doctors took my aunt of her medication today, wont give her any more cos they said they want to observe her reaction. this is just fucked

My grandmother had cancer from August 03-and died in April 05. She was in remission a couple times I think, but it kept coming back. On the day she died, she was awake and she said she saw angles circling her room, watching her from the wallpaper. It was sad, but she was hurting. You'll get through it, it will be tough, but you can make it.

That should be really hard to stand :'(

Intense, just to read that make me tremble.

my uncle was diagnosed with prostate cancer in '01 I believe. he started declining in april of '05. i went to europe for three weeks in june/july, and six days after i came back he passed away. his birthday was yesterday, so it's been on my mind a lot. it was hard for me because he lived 40 minutes away, and was the closest relative on my mom's side.

cancer sucks, but to any guy over 30, if you know any guys over 30, tell them to get there PSA checked, if the cancer is caught early, it can most likely be treated and terminated.

i hate cancer.

best luck to you though.

my aunt died of cancer when i was a sophomore in high school. it'll be three years in february. i don't think anything has every hit me as hard as that did and it still bothers me whenever i think about it. a few more family members of mine have died of cancer throughout the years though. with the hallucination stuff, my aunt went through similar things. all you can really do is try to pray and be there for her. there's really little you can do as frustrating as it is. nothing hurts more than losing somebody that you love, especially when it's to a disease or something unfair like that. i hope everything turns out well.

My feelings on the situation is if they are unable to perform their daily routines everyday it is time to hope they just pass. My dad had brain cancer and died three months after diagnosis. He never really was healthy after it struck him, but I was glad he passed quick instead of prolongigng it. He lived in a hospital, could't remember anything, and just had to be babied. It sad to see a grown person uncapable of being able to take care of themseleves. My reply to you is to just get your family to understand prolonging her life through meds etc is pointless if she can't live properly. It is better and takes a lot of stress off of the family. It sad to say, but dying sometime can be for the better. I hope she pulls through, but if not just deal right away....prolonging grief hurts a lot more.

[aNaRcHy_BuRgEr]

yea its so hard to watch it just take her like this. thank you guys for being able to share this with me. she's not in pain but she's not herself, and i hardly recognise her. she has unshakable faith so i know that if she does pass, she will go to a better place. its just hard to think of that as a possibility at the moment

[Tuesday's Gone]

Hey! When i was 8 my father was a cancer victim.... wich got the best of him and now i no longer have him ......... It happend feb 3rd 1998....... now it has been almost 9 years and thier is so many things left undone.... that will never get finished!

[Nat06]

my grandpa died of cancer and my dad has it. hes had it for awhile but i dont honestly know how hes doing cuz he wont let me or my mom or my sisters know cuz he has to be a " tough guy" but yeah it sucks not knowing if hes okay or not and him being so far away. but yeah i think i just got used 2 the fact that he might die soon but it takes time and it still hurts. and my friends found out a week ago that he has cancer. so yeah it sucks:'(

[this is risika]

My Aunt has liver cancer, although thankfully it's now in remission - it's that spider-webby kind that you can't ever really get rid of.
My mom also had cancer, but it was removed and she's fine now.


As with your problem with the dicks at the hospital, it is not their decision to take her off her medication or anything else unless somehow your Aunt or family signed some release saying she was fine with being a guinea pig (which I doubt they did.)
[You need to take this higher if you can, there are places and groups and people out there that help fight stuff like this - and I'm sorry you and your family have to put up with corrupt assholes.]

[cris545]

My grandmother died of lung cancer, and one of my cousins died from a brain tumor. From what I know about the time when my grandmother was at the hospital, the doctors kept giving her morphine for her pain, but the morphine backfired and it did kill her pain, but it made the cancer kill her faster. I don't know anything about medicine but you should talk to the doctors and let them tell you what they're doing and what medicines they're using and why so that you can take a stand on whether you agree or not, but you also have to be careful not to jump to conclusions suspecting they're not doing anything because they don't want to. They might be waiting for a reaction to some medicine to see if she improves or if it may backfire like the morphine did for my grandmother. All I can say is talk to the doctors.

My grandpa died of brain cancer a few years ago. He was diagnosed in May 2003 and passed away a few months later (August I believe). It was hard seeing him unable to take care of himself. When I die, I pray that I don't have to spend my last months in a hospital bed. It just looks so terrible.

Other than my grandpa, I have a friend who has cancer and another who had cancer as a child.

[FeynmanWannabe]

My brother in law's mother mother died from stomach cancer. So sad, it happened so quickly.

[aNaRcHy_BuRgEr]

thanks guys. she's picking up slowly, adapting to no meds. but its still worrying and im glad to be able to share this with u all

[Suchasucker]

Sometimes there isn't anything that they CAN do. This isn't a disease with a simple solution or cure... yet. I know it's not easy, but I have to imagine the doctors are doing everything in their power to help her overcome this.

My grandpa died from cancer in 2004, and I have to say it was the worst thing I've ever had to witness in my entire life. Seriously, no one should have to watch their loved ones go that way.
