Cancer

IMHO, the word "hate" is a very strong word. I will not use it to describe people. The only time I use the word is in reference to cancer. I've lost multiple family members to the disease, and everyone I know has lost at least one loved one to cancer. I hate the disease, and I can only hope one day for a cure. Congratulations on being a cancer survivor!

Glad to hear you had positive news! I can’t wait until they find a complete cure for this disease that will take the long term worry away.

That's great news. We are waiting on results of my husbands prostate biopsy and it is messing with our minds. I watched my grandfather pass way due to colon cancer and I don't want to go through that again

If I might suggest, PLEASE do not rush to treat should your husband be told he has PCa (Prostate Cancer). Different Gleason Scores, ranging from 3+3 to 5+5 have different modalities of treatment with the minimal Gleason 3+3, GL-6 often having a wait and see approach since serious development is extremely rare. Mine is Gleason 5+5 (GL-10) which happens to be the worst case scenario. I am on a forum with extremely helpful and informative members, if you would like some info please message me. Good luck to you and your husband.

Great news - so happy for you!

At 45 I was hit with the news that I had breast cancer. And you are so right, even though I am now almost 5 years cancer free it is ALWAYS in the back of my mind if any type of ache or pain arises. It's awful. I'm thankful and live each day as it is my last

I’m so glad you got a good report this time. It’s scary, it’s ugly, chemo is brutal. Dealing with it here, too.

Kathy lets us know after you get done kicking cancers ***

It's a miserable battle. I had breast cancer surgery in Oct...all went well. But, I have to say that even though I'm told there is little chance of it returning, it's always there, niggling at the back of my brain. Anyone that has dealt with any type of cancer knows this feeling. Please keep going and getting checked out. Yes, it's a beast but it's all we can do.
And Kathy, hang in there buddy!!!

Great news!

Cancer is an awful, disgusting disease. My mom also beat it and every time she takes a nap, I panic. She said the only way she knew she was sick at first was when she started to feel tired enough to nap regularly... Even through raising four kids and working two jobs, she was never tired. Until the cancer.

Fantastic news, Low-key! Hearing positive outcomes like yours can give hope to others.

I love the quote from Christopher Robin to Pooh that says, you are braver than you believe and stronger than you seem.
