Lost my uncle to Bowel cancer, it was tough for my gran and my aunt. My cousin is suffering from it for the second time and it's not fair at all. Shit of a disease and I hope we find a way one day to fuck it off altogether.

I've known a few people who had suffered it, one of my cousins had it not so long ago. Terrible disease indeed. My thoughts are with you Walshy7 and with all of you rawkites who are affected by it in any sort of way

It's a heartbreaking disease. One of my relatives is very ill at the moment

Second time for her. You just can't take it all in.

This disease is pure evil, Walshy, I know. I really feel for you.

Yeah everone, cheers for asking, im ok, found out today though that my older sister has 6 months at best left.

She pretty much raised me

Gutted.

So sorry to hear that.

I lost my mother to cancer 12 years ago. She was only 55 when lung cancer took her from me, and every day I miss her.

Me girlfriends dad is on deaths door with Lung cancer, it all has happened so quick.

It could be a matter of days, weeks or months. He's not a well man though.

Me girlfriend was supposed to be going to Glastonbury and Take That this week, so sad.

She lost her mum when she was 17, so she could be an orphan by the age of 26.

Fucking horrible!!!

Called my Dad for Father's Day today.

"I have cancer, my son."

Five words you're never ready for.

Sorry to hear that mate, absolutely awful.

I am gutted for you.

Funny I have come across this post (well not funny but you know what I mean) I was talking to my dad this morning about a friend of mine with breast cancer. She has had to have her breast removed, She really is a strong one though and has carried on working through out her treatment! Having to serve people in the offie cigs and booze. She stopped smoking as soon as she found out too! Fucking star she is bless her. If it was me i'm pretty sure I would want to hide away.

I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. Spend as much precious time with her

One of my friend's mom just passed away a month ago after fighting for more than a year against breast cancer.

Walshy & El C: Be strong, let them know your love for them doesn't end because of this.

Walshy7 · « **Reply #52 on:** June 23, 2009, 12:35:37 am »

Thanks for all your kind words people, very very much appreciated, great place is rawk.

Just glad we decided to come home from new zealand when we did , as if we were still out there I reckon they would have hid this from me.

ashy9 · « **Reply #53 on:** June 24, 2009, 03:33:31 am »

Walshy + El C I know what you are going through as we just heard two weeks ago that my Mum is suffering from stage three ovarian. She starts her chemo next week so the doctors have moved very quickly from finding it to starting to zap the bastard. Feels like being punched in the stomach and living in Australia isn't helping as she seems so far away. She is being positive though and I've told her that our banner now refers to her - "wine for my Mum we ride at dawn!" Keep your chins up and I'll try to do the same. If you ever want to talk, rant or need a shoulder please PM me.

Fucks sake, sorry to hear that mate, really am. Is it just me or is this twat of an illness becoming more and more common?

Just come across this Walshy. My heart goes out to you and your sister mate. My own sister had cancer a few years ago but recovered, thankfully.

Plan your time left with her mate. Think about the things you want to tell her and say them while you can. It will help you both. There's nothing else I can usefully tell you. Walk On matey.

Friend of my dad went for a check up in the doctors in February, woke up in hospital and was told he had cancer. He died on Sunday morning. Puts it all into perspective. Have to go to the funeral tomorow and its gonna be tough to see his family and friends trying to cope, especially having left being an 18 year old son. Its not fair.

Ecuared · « **Reply #61 on:** December 26, 2009, 02:48:52 am »

Called my best friend today to wish him a merry christmas and he told me he has leukemia. It seems like it will be treatable, and I am praying he will be OK. He's going to see a specialist in the next few days.

I'm shocked right now, he's only 28. He was a great hockey player when we were growing up, big strong defenceman who wasn't afraid of a fight, I'm sure he'll win this one.

What a horrible desease this is.

Walshy7 · « **Reply #62 on:** December 26, 2009, 09:08:35 am »

Sister literally looks like a zombie now, in a bed in the front room, sleeps 23 hours per day, can hardly talk or open her eyes for the other hour, fucking heartbreaking, she wanted to see xmas and she wanted to see snow which she has, wish the fella upstairs would just put her out of her misery now.

My god mate i dread to even try and feel what you have gone through.

Lost one auntie to breast cancer (beat it twice then it came back), a grandad to bowel cancer (terminal) and a family friend has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer aswell. Just seems to be one after the other at the moment and it is completely fucking sickening. If i had only one wish it would be that they cure this awful disease.

Its awful mate, went through the same with my grandad. He was a big man so no matter how much morphine and drugs they gave him he just would not go to sleep. They would settle him down for a few minutes and then up he would get and sit in the corner of the room. No matter how much we all moan when it comes down to it no-one wants to go.

If there is one positive it was that he did not have to suffer, relatively speaking. One thing about cancer that scares the shit out of me is the thought of beind told you have x number of weeks/months to live. Literally a death countdown, very very sad and it is something i think about a lot.

I lost my dad to cancer in his sinuses almost 5 years ago. His main arterie in the head burst while I was talking to him about taking over the family business and I basicly stood there watching him bleed to death without being able to do shit!

Had me visiting the shrink for the better part of a year after that. He was 56. His mom only got to 59 and died from cancer in the brain that had spread from the bowel.

Has got me a bit paranoid that I might end up the same way before my kids are "old enough" (will they ever be that?) to be able to say goodbye to me... Fucking hate that disease!!

Really sorry to hear Walshy,horrible thing for you and your family to be going through,were all thinking of you.Terrible terrible disease,my mum and uncle had it at the same time 3 years ago,mum made it through(thank god),uncle passed away though,my grandad on that side survived cancer 4 times too.Runs on that side of the family

absoloutely horrible disease.

JimmyGrunt · « **Reply #74 on:** December 28, 2009, 10:49:17 am »

Lost my nan to it around 6 years ago. Seeing her lying in bed on a machine was fucking horrible. Sat there with my dad, just staring at her, totally helpless.

One thing that annoys me, the gov should spend more on finding a cure for this and other illnesses, insted of pumping fuckin millions of pounds into a war thats got fuckall to do with us and nobody wants to be involved in.

My step-mother has recently found out that she has melanoma, they found it randomly when she was getting some warts out. She has to go back in the New Year to see if it has spread and see how she has responded to treatment. Every single day I think about it and just hope that it hasnt spread.

Called my Dad for Father's Day today.

"I have cancer, my son."

Five words you're never ready for.

I know exactly what you mean mate!

My dad rang me after I had been to a job interview and I thought how nice of him to show interest. After listening to my good news he handed me the bad news. I can still remember the exact spot where I pulled my car over, the time of the day and him crying for the first time! He lived 8½ months after that day...

I hope your dad is doing good mate!

Walshy: I feel for you mate, I truely do. "Fortunately" my dad didn't go through the stages of cancer your sister is - he got called home before the pain and agony won. I hope for your sister, you and your family that her last days will be as painless and peaceful as possible.

MackemLad: I appreciate your words. I have found that talking about it and sharing it with people, even people I don't know, is good for me - it helps me getting over it. It's not that I have depressions over it, but from time to time the I miss him like fuck and then talking and sharing helps me. As for the paranoia I've had 3 different docs telling me that the forms of cancer my dad and grandmom died from are not biologically enherited and that I should not spend time thinking about... Easy for them to say.
