[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Context: both of my parents died of cancer, and suffered from cancer.  Father got a stage iv lung cancer diagnosis and died within 4 months when he was in his fifties.  Mother suffered and died from breast cancer over the course of two years in her sixties.  One of my good friends at work is 40, has 4 kids and an aggressive form of brain cancer that's going to kill her.  My friend had a melanoma, which is scary and cancer, removed from her toe.  Needed no further treatment in terms of drugs, chemo, radiation etc.  always refers to herself as a cancer survivor.  Her mother has stage i colon cancer caught at her 50yo colonoscopy.  Had it removed and needed no chemo etc.  posts on Facebook things like 15 year anniversary of my cancer diagnosis, so glad to be cancer free.  I want to slap this friend and her mom and be like fuck you you don't know what cancer is you assholes.  Venting here because I can't in real life.  Thanks.  [/quote]

I'm sorry you are feeling this way, but she has a right to her feelings.  There ARE people who have died from melanoma on their toes.  She DID survive cancer and is hopefully cancer free.  This is something she has to think  about daily.  So does her mom - you are upset that her mom feels grateful to be cancer free and alive after finding colon cancer?  I promise they aren't doing this to spite you.[/quote]
