Indeed, it is a fucking evil thing. Already lost a family member to it (a lady who leaves behind an 8 year old daughter), and dread it happening again.

Though you shouldnt really worry about what ifs, its hard not to sometimes.

Agreed it's fucking evil. I've lost half a dozen family members to it in the last 15 years, all between 40 and 65. I fucking hate it with a passion.

Maybe it's just me but I'm often saying to the wife how when I was a little kid, it seemed like it was a lot less prevalent. You'd hear of it but not often. Nowadays almost every family seems to be touched by the fucking thing.

Lost my sister aged 40 nearly one year ago; leaving behind 2 boys, 12 and 14 and 1 girl aged 7; beautiful children.......what an awful time for my parents.

It's an awful thing and I sympathise with anyone it touches.

Think about her every damn day.

I think that may well be because previous generations tended to keep illnesses quieter. I think they where most probably more used to earlier mortality, whether through warfare or living/working conditions. There where also a lot more fatal illnesses knocking around in the community I think which didn't have the stigma of being "self-inflicted". Lot's of people died because of TB (including my newly discovered birth Grandma, found out a couple of years ago I was adopted in L17)  Treatment of diabetes and asthmas and other chronic conditions was less advanced that it is now, as well as all the other occupational illnesses that people "just got on with"

But as the OP said, cancer's still a bastard. The bloke who had influenced me most in my working life died about 10 years ago, in his early 40's, and I've lost ex-colleagues before they even hit 40 to it. Some of those I've discovered left through Facebook. Maybe a factor in our knowing about it, is that though our communities are less local, they are wider in some sense.

I had to go to Clatterbridge for a bone density scan the other day, and I was just weirded out being there. I think it'll always have that stigma about it.

I had a form of alopecia as a child and therefore more immune to catching other types of cancer. Fucking worrying. My Uncle died of it when I was a teenager. You can never be too careful, so never be too proud/stupid to say you want to go to a doctor and get things checked. My Auntie said he complained about headaches for a week up until he was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Lost my grandad to pancreatic cancer, coming up 5 years now, that was bad and he was 80. Now someone I know, a friend of my dad's who I grew up on the same street and with his kid only has months or even weeks to live. He is only in his 40's, and from being fine to within a few months he can barely walk. Horrible thing.
He wasn't perfect, he made mistakes. But he was genuine. He had the best interests of the club at heart, and gave us a plethora of successful teams that we should have been thankful for.

Lost one of my friends in November from a brain tumour, she was 35. And in April one of my friend's mums died - she went into hospital on the Hillsborough anniversary thinking she had a slipped disc, 12 days later she was dead from lung and spinal cancer. Absolutely devastating disease, and terrifying the way it can take someone so quickly.

So sorry to hear that walshy, lke everyones said hope you ok and theres plenty of people offering support on here.

My dad has been suffering with cancer for the last three years.I was gutted when he was diagnosed but we were told it was treatable.In November last year he was told it a lot worse and had become acute,and he had anywhere between 6 months and 2 years.Its heartbreaking it really is.Since Jan 6th this year he whas spent 24 days at home.Theres nothing worse than seeing someone suffering.i guess and i know its a cliche youve just got to spend as much time as you can with them.Ive grown closer to my dad in the last 6 months than i ever have in my 33 years.it was a strange one when he was told that was it basically an d they could only treat him for "quality of life" . I spent days in my room with my dad downstairs not knowing what the fuck to say to him.when i finally had the balls if i can call it that to go to him i just broke down.My relationship with my dad is now awesome,just a shame it has taken something like this for proper father son relationship to develop.

hope your ok mate.

Fuckin abs horrible c*nt it is. What's fucking annoying is it toys with you. Goes and comes back, doesn't respond to treatment, people who are going well with treatment all of a sudden with a wall and doesn't respond...etc

When you see it hitting someone who is close to you, you fuckin realise what a bastid it is

Unfortunately our way of life has made it more and more common. Years ago people hardly got it. Now nearly everyone does

So sorry to hear about your sister. Enjoy every moment you can with her

Next door neighbour is a good blue and spent last 2 seasons bantering with him re Everton/Liverpool.  He used to always be doing the garden even in mid winter when pool had lost and knew I'd be traipsing home.  Never seen him for days when we beat Everton.

Got news last week he's not just got it in the liver (he doesn't drink either) but it's spread to the glands.  With chaemo he may see Xmas.  But he's not going for it as he wants to be relatively healthy as long as he can.  He's mid 50's.

My mother was diagnosed with breast Cancer last year as well.

Many if not most of its forms are beatable if diagnosed and treated early.

There are loads of cancer survivors all over these boards.  I'm a two-time winner.

Get regular checkups and blood work done at least once a year, I've had mates diagnosed with cancer in one area when they were inquiring about another.

One thing I'll say about dealing with people with cancer.  Don't treat us like victims and don't show pity or sympathy.  We hate it.  Don't let the first thing you say be 'How are you feeling?'  Smile and treat us as though we're (healthy) just like you and see if we bring it up.

We won't  ;).

Lost my dad to it, will be 5yrs next month but seems like yesterday. Family life has never been the same since. My mum's never been the same either. My dad was my best friend as well and it turns your whole world upside down, you can't have the same laughs with other people. I often go into a cocoon psychologically torturing myself that he isn't here while others are enjoying themselves. Just gutted he hasn't been here to see the joy of Istanbul or share some of our family's happiest moments such as my brother's wedding, job promotions and sister's baby being born, the first in the family.

Totally gutted.

If detected early you're in good nick and no reason why you can't beat it. Don't overlook a minor sign as its best to safe than sorry. It only takes a trip to the Dr. And jambutty is right, don't treat suffers any different. I work with them and they don't need sympathy but take strength from the fact they're not a sympathy case but treated as any other human being. With respect.

Auntie of mine died of it in March. There's been loads of bitching about the funerals organisation/ where the ashes would go throughout my family. (Very silly I know, they all acted like like complete fucking twats for a few weeks). So the VERY DAY her ashes were buried and things seemed to be sorted, an uncle of mine comes home(been living in Spain) to say he has cancer and needs treatment over here. Five year treatment ahead. Thankfully it's very treatable. Still unbelievable the way it turned out though.

Lost my kind of mother in law to it back in August of '99.

She was 75 at the time, and the fittest woman I'd ever known.  She could out do me walking alone. 

A brain tumour was diagnosed some days after being rushed to hospital.  She had a biopsy done to check out the tumour.  It was diagnosed as malignant, and one of the very fierce forms of cancer.  There was no way back for her.  I felt sick and completely helpless at the time.  I just tried to do my best to support my fella.

She was eventually brought back to a local hospital in Frome, where she eventually passed away. 

To this day, I just can't get over the fact that we knew she could go at any time, but she waited until we entered her room and realised she was among people she knew and loved before she took her last breath.

She wasn't my mum.  My mum had passed on 26 years previously, but I still felt an enormous amount of pain at her passing.

My dad apparently smoked about 30 cigs a day, until my great grandad caught the disease.  He was a veteran of the war (first).  He knew he was dying in 1977, lung cancer, and kept it to himself until the last couple of weeks.  Smoked fags called 'park drive' all his life which had no filters which I think is banned now.  At his deathbed he grabbed my mum and dad's hands and signalled to them 'this was it'.

They watched him take his last breath.  My dad never smoked again.

Very sorry to hear that.
One of the boys I teach lost his mum to breast cancer earlier in the year. She was only 31.
3 days before she died, she got a friend to drive her up to school so she could thank us all in person for all the counselling we'd organised for them and paying for the residential trip he'd gone on. It was very emotional.

I've lost so many people to this dreaded disease and my aunt is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer. We'll know her prognosis once she's had her scan. I personally had thyroid cancer 7 years ago but thankfully I'm still here to tell the tale. One thing I gained from my diagnosis is not to take things for granted and to enjoy every day to its fullest. I hope you're all able to do this together as a family and gain many more happy memories.
