Cancer has been a hot topic by us. About 8 people close to my wife and I have been diagnosed with some type of cancer in the last few months. 

Damn…it’s just a nasty fucking disease.

I have a personal history of this with a close family member. They basically medically tortured her to death. I have a very sour attitude about that part of medicine.

My mom has beaten breast cancer and skin cancer twice.

My wife is currently battling thyroid cancer.  She had it licked 3 years ago but it came back.  Still, her prognosis is excellent.

Not all cancer is the same, however, survivors are everywhere.

We have some breast cancer survivors. The treatment is still horrible

It’s a tough disease. The cancer cells make an end run around chemo and T cell treatments. None the less, there’s survivors out there.

There is something in cancer that blocks the body's imune system from fighting it.

A few yrs back there was research that showed injecting people with polio cells turned of the blocker. Then never heard another thing about it.

Pretty sure that my mom knew about her Cancer long before she told me because she died only two weeks after telling me….I don’t blame her as she had some other health problems and I know she didn’t want to have  major surgery and/or chemo and end up suffering and dying anyhow.

Cancer cells aren't recognized by the body because they're the body's own cells that have mutated in a bad way.  I was a cancer center RN for 5 1/2 years.  Gave lots of chemo and said goodbye to a lot of really good people.  I saw quite a few kick its ass too.  MANY different kinds of cancer out there.  Had a mild form myself a few years ago.  Lots of cutting edge treatments that are much more mild than chemo.

Both of my SIL's had breast cancer, the youngest had a double mastectomy and is going through chemo as we speak.

We have a friend that has a Glioblastoma brain tumor, unfortunately I don't think he's going to be alive for much longer. Those Glioblastoma's are rotten mfers.

I had a GIST tumor removed from stomach just over 3 1/2 years ago but my prognosis looks good. I actually took my pathology report and did a math formula from a Facebook site called GIST International. According to the formula I have a 3.6% chance of having a recurrence, I am very grateful every day for that blessing. 

FUCK CANCER!!!!

Glioblastomas are nasty.  Had a respiratory therapist at the hospital that had one.  He didn't last very long.  My half sister had one and had surgery and some experimental treatment.  She's still here after a little over 3 years, which is unheard of.  My dad died of non-small cell lung cancer in 2012.  He lasted about 11 months after diagnosis.  He was 6' 4", 230 lbs in the beginning and got down to about 170lbs when he died.  The list of family and friends goes on...

ABSOLUTELY FUCK CANCER.

3 1/2 year survivor. 

I beat that shit. They killed mine with bovine tuberculosis. :lol: Somewhere in a lab they figured out it kills cancer cells. Only catch is I can’t give blood anymore, mine is permanently tainted.

I’m going on 7 years with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia a form of lymphoma and another beauty of a blood disease called amyloidosis which often occurs among WM patients. My prognosis was not very good initially and I was passed up the medical chain from my local doctor to a specialist at Dartmouth Hitchcock in Lebanon NH and on to a super specialist at U Mass to talk about a stem cell transplant. At each step and each hospital I was met by great, knowledgeable people who egos weren’t so big that felt they knew everything. In the end it was agreed that I should try a Johnson&Johnson drug called Ibrutinib which the FDA had just fast tracked for approval in treating WM. It has worked incredibly well in my case with my blood work close to normal now. Along the way I received financial assistance from a number of oncology organizations in paying for the Ibrutinib and today J&J's patient assistance program is eating the cost. 
As a cancer patient in remission I have been very lucky and I understand that I am probably in the minority as survivors go but I know science continues to make advances in treatment and I know the the Oncology Foundations out there do give back. 
It’s a fuck of a disease, if you have any reason to think you might have it, any reason at all, see you doctor and if you aren’t happy with them see another until you get an answer, time matters and science is always looking for cures. I have been very fortunate, my treatment probably won’t continue working forever but I know there are other options and I know the research continues.
