Cancer has played such a big role in my life, in 1996 my grandmother passed away from Lung Cancer, in the late 1990′s my other grandmother was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer… She won that fight, but, then, she was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, which by the time they caught it had already spread to her pancreas, lungs, liver, and kidneys. She passed away in 2011. My Aunt also died of Lung Cancer in the late 1990′s. Now there is a chance I may have cancer. CANCER SUCKS!

Made it through another week, at work (had to go back to work, benefits aren’t enough to cover bills, anymore)…but i grow more tired, with each day…at least i am no longer bleeding so much…just don’t know if that’s a good thing or not? Figured, i would run out, sooner or later, anyways. 
Could certainly live without the excessive mucus (not meant to be disgusting). This is from the cancer in my lungs, so i am told. And, could certainly do without the pains…which are slowly intensifying…the longer i am not on any meds, again. My wife is becoming more concerned, as i am eating less…because of the cancer in my neck/jaw area, it hurts quite a bit, to just eat. Missing the days i could yawn, sneeze or just smile…without pain.
I am also getting tired and having hope for the next drug that “should” work…these damn tumors keep mutating!
More and more, lately…i find myself thinking, of being selfish and just going home…then there won’t be anymore pain…for me. Then i can sleep…which is fleeting now, at best! I am awfully tired, by weeks end. Wonder when, exhaustion will become the norm, instead of “i’m just tired”?
Wish i could do, like in the song, “Live Like You Were Dying“…that would be cool!
I know this sounds like i’m rambling, complaining or however you wish to classify it. And i may very well be…but i just need a place to vent, without my family getting upset. Thank you for the time and space, if you post this to The Wall…oh, and before i forget… Stage 4, metastasized melanoma cancer, really does suck! Anonymous, for now.

In October 2009 the beast Melanoma took away from me what I had looked for for so long….my soul mate. Micheal was 37 when he lost the strength to fight any longer and he left this world for a place where pain no longer exists. He left behind a wife and three step-children as well as many unrealized plans and dreams. He missed getting to meet the first grandchildren of the family by a year. He has not gotten to tell my daughter how proud he is for bringing her grades from failing to straight A’s. He is missed so much! We had 7.5 wonderful years together and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.
“And now I’m glad I didn’t know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I’d of had to miss the dance” – Garth Brooks

“I was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma (rare form of bone cancer) in June 2009 after having pain in my leg since Nov 08.
Screw cancer. Screw those who say you have an expiration date. Screw the chemo, and bills, and meds, and nausia, hair loss, not seeing friends, fear and whatever else.
You know why? The doctors gave me till June of 2010 to live. Told me to pack it in, get my stuff in order, there you go. NO WAY! I’m still kicking. They gave me this super hard chemo (could only have 6 sessions or it would effect my heart, then stepped down a level & did 6 more – once every 3 weeks). I also did 31 days of radiation. Then it was 6 months of bone treatments. November 2010 – I had tests & my tumor was gone, the spots on my lungs were gone, and my bone marrow was clean.
February 2011 – my lungs filled with fluid & nearly sufficated me. Screw you cancer!!! They drained my lungs & found a TON of cancer down my left ribs. I’m now on a new set of chemo treatments. The docs said “if this type doesn’t work, there is only 1 other kind that might, those are your last chances”
Well, you know what? You don’t know. You’re guessing. The power of God, prayer from my friends and family, love from my kids, and optimism and FIGHT is what’s going to see me from now till I can see my youngest (who is 6 years old) graduate.
Screw you cancer! You SUCK!”

Our son was born in November, 16 2009. After noticing he wad falling more than he had been and he woke from his nap limping we took him to the doctor. They found a tumor in his brain stem on November, 26 2010. It was ATRT/Cancer. After seven surgeies, chemo, and two hospitals our son who lived such a short time passed away on February,16 2011 from the cancer. He was are only child after trying for years. I believe that Cancer Sucks big time and needs to be stopped. Our son never got a chance at a life because of cancer.

I believe that cancer honestly does suck. It sucks with a passion. I am a grand-daughter who has had to watch my great grandpa pass away with cancer when I was a little girl and now I am almost eighteen and I am having to watch my grandma go through with cancer. She had surgery to remove one kidney and finally has been able to get around. Then she did an MRI and they told her that what they found could be cancer again. The first time they got it all. Now, they think it may be back. I HATE cancer!!! It takes away peoples lives. I look at my grandma and realize that she just retired and as soon as she retired she has just fallen apart. Its just one thing to the next. I hate cancer. I admire survivors of cancer as my grandma was a survivor once and I am hoping and praying she will be a survivor again and maybe this won’t be cancer. This all goes to show the we all must LIVE STRONG!!!!!! When I found out my grandma had cancer it cut me like a blade going in my heart. Now, I feel the same way again. I want to just run and hide and take care of her and put her in my arms and protect her. I want my grandma to be okay. I realize that when a family member is diagnosed with cancer it feels like a death sentence. So much pressure and everything. Its too much sometimes. I am a teenager and yet when she just broke the news to me today about it possibly coming back I just got so frustrated. Why why why is all I wondered. Thats the question everyone asks themselves when it happens to them. Why me? I believe that staying strong and being positive are the best ways to help my grandma. Sometimes though, I can’t hold the tears back. I am so close to her. I just worry about her. For everyone out there who is a survivor and reading this, congrats to you!!! Everyday is a blessing and we must be thankful for everyday we are given. For people who are fighting with cancer, keep going!!! Don’t give in!!!! Keep positive thoughts and always, always, always be with the ones you love and enjoy everyday!! Cancer does suck but people can overcome this!!!!
For the creators of cancer sucks, I admire you guys for doing this. I think it helps many people out. For me, right now, it is helping me out by allowing me to tell my story and for others to share theirs. Thanks.
Sincerly,
Whitney

How many tears will a child cry
When they’re told their dad will die
When their dad goes into eternity
For the cancer the doctor did not see
The emotions which are torn apart
……And all the pain on the families heart
A precious life just slipping away
How can one be happy and gay
Knowing there’s nothing one can do
Feelings of sorrow, feelings so blue
For now they’ll cherish every living day
Tell him all the things they need to say
Truly a dad who really loved and cared
A lifelong memory forever shared.

In ’98, Leukemia took the young life of my best friend who was only 17. Due
to Cancer, she never got to graduate, experience marriage, or enjoy
motherhood. Cancer stole that from her and took a beautiful person away from
so many who loved her dearly. In 2008, Cervical Cancer took a piece of me
that can never be replaced; my Mama. She was only 43, and had so much life
left to live! Cancer SUCKS because daily it takes the lives of those we
love!!
