Thanks, bro. Likewise.

Watching my mom battle cancer and complications caused by cancer for over a year was awful... and she was one of the lucky ones.  They caught it early and it was pretty certain that she would eventually recover.  Cancer also killed both of my grandfathers and my aunt's ex-husband.

So I agree, **** cancer.

So many types of cancer it's scary as hell. My condolences to those that lost their love ones from it.

i hate cancer

its like some unstoppable force that can take out anybody at anygiven time

Lost my aunt to cancer in August. My mom and her were so close. Yesterday made three months since she passed and I walked in the house to her leaving a voicemail on her phone, crying, telling her how much she misses her and wishing she would answer. Sent chills up my spine. And i honestly don't know what to say to comfort her. #%*@##! hate this disease.

and if I'm not mistaken these warnings are also on the outside of windows of fast food restaurants....saw one in a jack in the box the other day.....

get the word out y'all...

people are losing lives over this crap.....

Carcinogen

A carcinogen is any substance, radionuclide, or radiation that is an agent directly involved in causing cancer.

LOOK THIS WORD UP ON WIKI......find out what products have known carcinogens....

Lost 3 family members.....I miss all three of you dearly...



my sig for today....


-The scary thing is, I don't know whats after this thing we call "LIFE". Neither do I want to know and neither do I want somebody else to know quickly....The more people are aware of this disgusting disease, the later I'll know whats after this.......................................Don't just wear pink accessories. That's the minimum. Talk about it, Spread the word. Discuss preventions, discuss better lifestyles.

I feel ya. Just had to bury my aunt last Monday. Though it disturbs me how some address cancer as if it's a separate entity going around killing random people. When instead this anger should be directed towards the various cancer agents that we accept in our food, environment, pharmaceuticals etc.

^ my bad for the double tables...and links(not intended)....

 

[av1r3x]

it's true there are many cancer causing sources outside of genetics, main reason why I avoid all this fast food & processed garbage..

My aunt is having a mastectomy next week, scary stuff...

 

[|A-Man|]

Hope you got your colon checked fam.

 

[mindless2778]

Sorry about your losses, man. Lost my grandma to cancer.


Doc's doing biopsies on small masses he found in my esophagus and colon, so, hoping/praying it's not cancer..... Just thinking that there's even a slight possibility that I might have cancer is just terrifying....
