Cancer

[King Darkness]

Krayt is right it does make toys really not matter. However the King is right too. I really am an ass.

All kidding aside though. I really want people to know that others have gone through this. I quit smoking with this board. I have dealed and am dealing with a death. It is a hard hard world we live in. I am glad I have some of you to fall back on.

It is a hard hard world we live in.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"

man a thread that actually hits home. cancer does suck and affects people in different ways. it's been 2 1/2 years sence I finished my treatment for stage 3 non-hodgkens lymphoma. 6' 3" and 137 lbs at my worst. so yea my heart goes out to anyone who has to go through it. unfortunally you find out who really gives a crap about you when you go through it. no one from my family called for 6 months after I finished raidation to see how I was, except my mother she's the only one.

I tivoed this before I played some GOW. Saw the stuff on him before he passed away. The lessons you can learn from this man are life changing and stuff I've tried to start doing more in my life. Cancer scares the ^^^^ out of me.

Sorry to hear your stories guys and these days its seems everybody is touched with cancer in one way or another.

My Dad was also diagnosed with terminal cancer in late Sep '06 two weeks before i got married.He bravely didn't tell us until after the wedding as he didn't want our day to be touched with any sadness although i knew something wasn't right.Passed away 2 Jan '07 and now my mum is awaiting test results on fingers crossed not cancer.

BM you new age guy you. Takes real heart man to not only express your feelings but to be honest about them no matter what,suprised i'm saying this u ass but respect man.

Thanks for the link.

Everyone is affected by this disease. Its amazing to go to a big city and see all of the enormous building and things that man has created, but yet a little disease is so powerful that it can kill so quickly. In 2003 I lost an aunt to cancer and unfortunately I had to attend a funeral just yesterday of another aunt that succumbed to it as well. With the millions and millions of dollars that gets devoted to research it blows my mind that we really have made no headway on this. Then again, I guess were all filling up with the same expensive gasoline, so I guess its not that surprising, but you know what I mean.

I lost my dad to colon cancer May 21st 1991 when I was 23 and lost my mom to breast cancer 7 months later January 3rd 1992.

In those last months of my dad's life he really gave me some pearls to live with, like being thankful I at least had him that long, and the hardest thing about getting through losing someone is just getting through it. Time heals slowly and never completely but it gets easier with time. If the experience taught me anything, it was to not hold grudges, never leave angry and to say the things you always meant to say because one day its too late. So ask those questions, like what was it like growing up, and what did you feel like when you were 20 and ask about the family tree and medical history and what their childhood was like. Break out the video camera and get them on tape or disk or something. I would love so much just to hear their voices again or let my children hear their voices once.
