fuck you cancer

[old.user4556]

I wouldn't normally share this on Freddy's, but my cousin and life-long second sister died this morning following complications from her brain tumour.

Diagnosed in February, dead in September, 32 years old.

She had a grade 4 astrocytoma, better known as glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive and common of all brain tumours. Perhaps you focus more when you know someone suffering from a particular disease, but it seems that everywhere I look someone is affected by one:

- my dad's best friend
- my brother in law's mother
- my cousin
- Richard Burns, rally driver
- Ted Kennedy
- Seve Ballesteros
- Dr Robert Moog (synth bloke)
- Ivan Noble, BBC reporter

I could go on.

Regardless, what a tragic and terrible disease. May she rest in peace.

 

[Mabs]

sorry to hear that, never easy with someone close to you

 

[old.Tohtori]

Hope it was relatively painless and all the best in getting your brain sorted around this.

 

[dysfunction]

It does indeed suck.
Best wishes to you G and your family

 

[Sydrik]

Not much to say G apart from the usual, best wishes mate.

 

[Bahumat]

Really sorry to hear that

 

[caLLous]

Sorry to hear that, G.

 

[Access Denied]

Wow that sucks. Wishes to you and your family G.

 

[throdgrain]

So sorry to hear that mate

 

[TdC]

sorry for your loss, G

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Sorry for your loss, thats harsh.

Maybe inappropriately offtopic, apologies in advance but...

- Dr Robert Moog (synth bloke)

Was surprised to see you mention the legend of Bob Moog. I have often lusted after Moog synths and they were a *massive* part of the early popularising of synth music and play an important part even to this day.

This year we also lost the founder of Korg, Tsutomu Katoh, to cancer. Korg Founder Tsutomu Katoh Dead, Leaving Legacy Of 48 Years Of Innovation In Music Gear » Synthtopia

[Laddey]

We seriously nedd a 'fuck you cancer ' day., do you think she would have minded being on the t-shirt?

 

[Everz]

Sorry to hear about that man, it's a terrible disease and a horrible way to go.

Sorry to hear,

just heard myself in the last 30mins my aunty has severe cancer from her stomach down ... indeed its time for cancer to fuck off

 

[Jupitus]

My heart goes out to you and yours, fella

 

[Imgormiel]

My father died of it with added complications a few years ago. The feeling of helplessness is overpowering. My thoughts are with you at this time.

 

[Deebs]

Sorry to hear it fella, know exactly what you must be feeling

Cancer affects 1 in 3 of every person we know at a minimum, a fucking vile illness.

 

[Lamp]

sorry to hear the bad news, m8. My condolences

 

[Shagrat]

Harsh best wishes G

 

[Punishment]

The day a cure for cancer is found wlll be a huge day for humanity, sorry to hear about your cuz G

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Yep it's pants isn't it? Sorry for your loss, it's something we all seem to know too.

 

[Deebs]

The day a cure for cancer is found wlll be a huge day for humanity, sorry to hear about your cuz G

See I don't believe we will see that cure for many many years. The problem is that private companies make the vaccines, they are in it for the profit. Take it inhouse and then progress will be made.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Populations would absolutely sky rocket if cancer were cured, but this kind of talk isn't really suitable for this thread. More suited to Toht's thread.

 

[yaruar]

Really sorry to hear that It's a nasty business, I had my own brush with it 3 years ago, I got to be one of the lucky ones, if it wasn't for random fate I would now have about 5 years to go with an asymptomatic tumor growing inside me.

 

[Edmond]

Sorry for your news G, hope you and yours are ok

 

[Wij]

Condolences to you and your family

 

[old.user4556]

Thanks for the support guys, means a lot.

We're over the disbelief now, just glad there is no more pain / suffering. Her last wishes for her funeral were interesting. She's requested that noone wears black, she's already picked out a bright turquoise wicker "coffin" and she wants it to be a party with videos and photos; not some doom and gloom church affair with everyone moaning their faces off.

I know some of you have lost people to cancer, it's just awful.
