Thanks heaps everyone; it's been 19 months of rough road but for the first time in a long time I can put my mind at ease, at least in regards to cancer. I really appreciate you guys sticking with me through this journey.

Two years ago,....  little did I know, what the future would hold.

I saw this thread in the "hot topics" collum, and it hit me.

My grandmom, recently died to cancer.

Apparently she had a tumor growing (uterus), but after haveing already had surgery/kemo once before (cancer) (years ago), she wasnt eager to go through that ordeal again. So she kept quiet about it. She complained about been weak or in pain, and no one knew anything was wrong with her (but herself, she hid it well). So outta the blue, within a periode of 1 month, just got so bad she was hospitalised, and 2 weeks lateron she was dead.  That was like 2 months ago.

My dad, about 6 months ago, got the news that he had a tumor growing on his liver (stage 4-5 liver cancer).
Apparently its terminal (ei. they cant remove it, or treat it), he had some pills (kemo thingy) that he couldn't handle (were supposed to prolong his life, possibly in the range of 5-10 years). He had some surgery to aid in some of the faults that pop-up from haveing a damaged liver.... which ofc didn't go well either.  He's now in a hospice, and probably only has months left.

In short..... screw cancer.

Wish my dad'd treatment had gone better, covid19 sure as hell didn't help things any.

I'm so sorry to hear this man. I know how it feels; I lost both my maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother to cancer less than a year apart back in 2017, and my father passed away when I was a teenager. I know there's nothing I can say to make the struggle any easier but just know you have my very best wishes and I'm thinking of you and your family.
