Cancer - what a fucking horrible disease

[El Kabong]

One of my family friends had cancer but he apparently took the news with a good attitude, he's always in good spirits (both in thought and drink ). He had colon cancer and had surgery and after he told everyone that he said "Now I have a semi colon".....true story

Yeah its a prick, sorry to hear about that too.
Strange thing is when people get over it (which ever way) they say 'oh he fought cancer and won' but really the ones who get over it for real, Firstly imbrace it or life first, it second. When you fight theres friction and cancer likes friction when you send it or the area it is effecting your love,it frequently diminishes.
You asked how someone can keep faith when we get such things.' The Creator and the creative forces of love and light don't give you anything except exactly that which it is;love and light, the rest is up to us. We are not victums of some higher source while we are down at this level.God fearing people do that but theirs is what is known as blind faith and blind they are.
We can have anything and everything from this platform and we have the numbers to explore every single avenue open to us all and we do it, for better and for worse. Every disease is horrible and every disease is simply
dis ease which usually starts with deep feelings mainly secret fears that then run into subconsiouss and sometimes even consiouss thoughts, then your whole system has been given the power and backing to turn it into physical dis ease.

Something I learned about Cancer recently...

If you have liver cancer and it spreads to your... brain. You have liver cancer in your brain and not brain cancer. Where ever the cancer starts it's those type of cells that spread to other parts of your body and latch on as they travel through your blood stream.

Sorry to heaqr about that Munky I truly am I hope your friend recovers 100%...

I just lost my Mom a few weeks ago to cancer...She had 2 heart attacks and open heart surgeries with in a yr...as she was getting better from the second and was home one day she just had a stroke with no warning,,,in hospital we find out she had tumor,,,,they give surgery on the brain...find out the tumor is too big to get rid of completly but is begnine...she gets radiation treatment it starts to shrink then has another stroke....goes into rehab a few eeks later after a month starts to recover even walking up 2 stairs at a time (This is after 2 heart attacks open heart surgery, brain surgery and 2 strokes)...

We think she is progressing well the doctors are positive then the gets deathly ill,,,back in hospital we find out she has tunors in her back, a few days later they find lung cancer, then liver cancer (Goes with what BG was saying about it traveling to the brain up the spine)....

She was pretty much just medicated for pain until she passed...

Horrible disease...I wish it on no one.......I know what we witnessed with her and i feel for anyone who has it..

I will keep your mate and his family in my prayers

Update guys. He has been diagnosed with a pancreatic psuedotumour. A benign tumour that gives of malignant characteristics or something. Really really rare only 140 cases reported in the UK ever.

Basically, he's not going to die. Fella thinks he has been given another shot at life. He's on heavy steroid treatment and will have to have surgery but he doesn't give a fuck since he wont have to sit his kids down and tell them this is the last christmas he will be spending with them.

I think preparing himself for death and then being told its a mistake and that its benign has invigorated his life somewhat. When he was told it wasn't pancreatic cancer and that it was this 'psuedotumour' his brother was so mad at the medical professionals but Paul (the chap in question) was so happy he just wanted to kiss everyone. Fella was in tears when he told me over the phone he wasn't going to die.

Anyway, suffice to say we are all over the moon with the news. Think the professionals at the Royal Marsden will be using him as a bit of a test subject though since its so rare.

Doesn't detract from the original message though that cancer is indeed a horrible fucking disease and my sympathies to anyone who has been touched by it, including those in this thread.

Peace guys

Thats Terriffic news Munky, one of my Best mates has got it, its worrying the Life out of me at the moment.

[OumaFan]

wow, great news, that's unbelievable, talk about being on a high.

My mom had breast cancer twice, I was fairly young but now I know that the second time it was apparently touch and go, funny (not funny but you know what I mean) how some people survive it and others don't, I don't have any illusions that it was because my mom was somehow "stronger" than other people that get it and don't make it, guess you need a bit of luck.

Really horrible disease, a lot in my family which I guess genetically is not really stellar news for me but no point in worrying about it I guess.
