Sorry to hear it man.
You are a good friend for thinking of them like this. In the old times it was thought that you would think of the recently diseased for a few days so they would see the path to find the other world. Because if we are sad they left and their kin are waiting to welcome them, their path would be brighter if they were missed. So when the mourning days were over celebrate them going home. We should all sing our death songs like warriors going home.
Currently in the hospital after dealing with a neutropenic fever (fun fact: somewhere around 106.3f your brain can no longer form coherent speech) stemming from way-too-stronk chemo. I concur, fuck cancer.
Stay strong friend. You got through today and you can get through tomorrow too π»

Aaaand... banned until you can form coherent speech.
(This has to be the weirdest ban I've seen in a long time)
Sorry for your loss. Seen cancer do this also!
Fuck cancer, and be excellent to each other
Fuck Cancer!
My uncle took a voluntary in early COVID days as the lymphoma required more and more frequent transfusions onsite amid sick people and he with no immune system. He didn't want to risk his daughter's pregnancy, fraught as it was already, and when the transfusions got too frequent and his time left was too short and risky, he gathered his family and left us peacefully at 5 pm on a Tuesday.
I miss him dearly.
My cousin's child was perfect and strong, and she's already the free, fearless, astounding personality as the grandpa she never knew. She will know all the stories by heart, though.
Sounds like he made a difficult, selfless choice to protect his daughter and granddaughter. Sharing his story is a great way to honor him, so thanks for that.
Lost my sister earlier this year, and recently a good friend's cancer has come out of remission with a vengeance.
Fuck cancer, my friend. πΊ
Sorry to hear that... I hope you're doing okay.
Thank you. I hope you're doing okay, too.

I am mod Leni and I approve this message.
Sorry for your loss, here's to your friend. Sounds like he was a good buddy, I hope the good memories of him bring you some peace.
Fuck cancer
My mother's thing has spread. Metastasis, they say. Experimental treatments with emphasis on quality of life, they suggest. I don't know what to do.
Please, please, please be nice to everyone and help everyone in any way you can.
I'm truly sorry to hear that. I know it's a little cliche, but don't forget to take care of yourself so that you can take care of her, and sometimes just being there is enough.
Fuck cancer. πΊ

Thanks for the kind replies. I didn't necessarily make this post looking for sympathy, moreso just getting it off my chest, so I appreciate y'all taking a moment.
Glass raised to your buddy. Fuck cancer.
Sorry for your loss. In the future please avoid calling it a "fight" though, as that's got negative connotations toward those that can't survive the disease, since it puts the blame on the victim for "not fighting hard enough". Not saying that's what you meant, but some people definitely mean it that way.
What's a good alternative?
Call it a draw since the cancer dies with you.
Sorry for your loss. Fuck cancer!!!
Done.
