Quoted message said:My two closest friends both found out today that a loved one of theirs
has cancer. My friend Mike's, with whom I went on vacation with
earlier this week and last, father has been diagnosed with lung
cancer. And Scotty, who a few of you met in Laughlin in December
(most of whom don't post here any more), just found out the lump in
his wife's breast is malignant.I guess MFW means more to me than I thought as I'm spewing this here.
Anywho, the point I'm trying to make is you never know when life is
going to throw you a curve ball so go out and enjoy it while you can.
While thankfully cancer is no longer a death sentence, it still can
bring great hardship to a person/family where life gets put on hold
for a while during the fight. So stop [censored] and pissing and
moaning with the poster with whom you've never met and enjoy life
while you can.
Major bummer. Hang in there for them. I lost my mother-in-law to cancer a
year or so back--no mother-in-law jokes please--it was a difficult time.
On the flip side, a 6-year-old at our church has been fighting bone cancer
for the past two years--did chemo and everything. A month ago they did a
biopsy and couldn't find a trace of it--if she's still clear in 6 months
they'll declare her cured. She's growing a head full of fuzz now. So there's
hope.
