I'm so sorry for this happening to your family, OP. Cancer has gotten our family, too.
Vent away, my friend! It helps. Peace be with you.

18:01 here. Thanks. I am stage 1. I had no symptoms but it was picked up on a mammogram.

So sorry, OP! I agree that it sucks! I had cancer, and my mom died from it. SIL and two aunts have had it, too.

My mother was just diagnosed with Stage 4 that has ravaged her body! Cancer definitely sucks!!!!

I am so sorry. Much peace to you and your family.

I am so sorry OP. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and am trying to be optimistic but I know the realities.

My dad had an upset stomach and went to the doctor to get some medicine before his trip to Greece. Found out he had matastisized melanoma. Doc gave him 9-12 months. Stopped keeping down food within a week and died in 4 weeks. Had barely started chemo. It was so sad, he didn't deserve that and should at least have gotten to go in his trip. RIP, cancer sucks.

I am so sorry. I am currently fighting breast cancer. Did your sister just find out she has cancer or has she been fighting a long time? My mom has breast cancer and she has been dealing with it off and on for 14 years. I wish you peace OP, and my thoughts are with your sister.

OP I am sorry. Cancer is brutal and everyone suffers. I lost someone I loved to cancer and it just ravaged their body. It was so painful to see them go through this.

My dad is expected to die in 2 weeks. A week ago, they said he'd be just fine. I will have lost both parents, a brother, and a sister to cancer, leaving me with one brother who is locked up in a rehab facility in Hawaii. I'm tired of cancer.

I am so sorry

OP, I'm so sorry. That's a lot to handle.
