A cancer rant
Mother FUCKING cancer. This is a note from my mom regarding my 65 year old aunt. A nurse, a saint, the kindest, gentlest and most giving person I know.

“Jeanine had a brain MRI last night and met with Dr. Laude this morning.

She did not get the prognosis yet because she was just not ready to hear it.

It is stage 4 lung cancer. Is in both lungs and lymph nodes. She's been having headaches which is why she had the brain MRI. There are three spots in her brain as well... but they are not looking into that yet. Jeanine said she hopes those are just moles.

She was crying so hard when I spoke with her that I just grabbed what info I could and am passing it along to you. Please pray for her.

This cancer is new. It is not from her previous bout of breast cancer. She just sent me a text stating that it is inoperable.

Jeanine thru tears asked me to contact her daughter and her sister, Jackie. I did that and it was awful. What a horrible horrible day.”


I’m just fucking done.

my Dad has it...66 yo with renal cell. It's not good. My MIL just had a breast lumpectomy yesterday... much better prognosis for her.

It is a hellish disease. Dad has had a kidney and a large lobe of his lung out in the last 2 years and gone through a round of immunotherapy that didn't touch it. Now doing chemo/immuno. Running out of options.

Prayers for your aunt and prayers that we can find a cure for this thing sometime soon.

I’m so sorry to hear that. We all have similar sad stories to tell about many in our families. Cancer is a horrible disease that seems to pick on the best folks you know. My prayers are with you.



I'm sorry if I hurt you feelings when I called you stupid - I thought you already knew - Unknown

No question, I'll add Jeanie to my prayer log. Cancer is despicable and has taken so many good people, even animals..it just sickens me. I wish I had the power to eradicate it from the face of the earth. Mad

Cancer is so freaking horrible. I am very sorry to hear about your aunt and pray for her. My mom was just given less than 6 months to live for Leukemia and is now taking a pill treatment. I had to move in with her to take care of her as she is extremely weak and I have to drain her chest cavity on a daily basis from a catheter installed. I hate seeing my mom go through this. I also hate what I have seen anyone who has cancer go through. Cancer can go to hell!!!
