this was my grandma. DAMN I HATE cancer

Grandma died of skin cancer. Dad has bladder cancer. Mother-in-law several kinds of cancer. The good news is they are getting vastly better at treating it. Now days if they catch it early they can often work wonders.

[censored] cancer !

if you live long enough you will eventually die from cancer.

Daddy is currently fighting throat cancer
Uncle beat throat cancer but is paying the price for bad radiation treatments that burned up his jaw bone and just about incinerated his arteries. Has a whole neck full of stints.
Mom beat breast cancer
Grandma beat breast cancer, died of something else that effected her due to complications of her treatments. So in the long run, she lost.

I hate F'ing cancer and everything that comes with it, wish it wasn't part of anyone's life...

We all thought my sister had it whopped but it made a comeback.

My family has been very fortunate for the most part.
An aunt died of lung cancer in her 50's after smoking 2-3 packs a day since she was a teenager.
The illness caused several aunts and uncles to quit cigarettes when she started chemo and they've all lived long lives with no cancer that I know of.

Best friends mom died when he was 11, his aunt, cousins, and sister all had to have full hysterectomy before they were 30. His dad just underwent surgery to remove colon cancer. 3 of his 4 grandparents died from cancer. His wife had the same genetic markers for ovarian and breast cancer, and had to have a double mastectomy and a hysterectomy. He knows that it’s just a matter of time before it gets him as well.

My family just gets skin cancer. We are as white as white can be since our lineage is Northern Ireland. I had skin cancer 4 times before I turned 40. But it was the easy kind.

Went to a funeral last week of my insurance agent that retired and moved to lake Ivie.

I have known him 30 yrs, He was diagnosed in October and died in January.

Rush Limbaugh announced on his show today he has advanced Lung Cancer.

Once you get past about 90 your risk of dying of cancer starts to go down. Once you are over 100 only about 4% of people die of cancer. If you die in your 80's by comparison, there's about a 25% chance the cause is cancer. Frailty and pneumonia get a lot more people after the age of 100.
