Title: Cancer Sux
Post by: grog on Saturday, 03 February 2024, 06:20 PM
I dont usually post personal stuff. Today im just messed up, my beautiful Daughter had double mastectomy yesterday, seems so unfair. She came thru op ok, has more mental scars than her body does. So hard to talk to her. Sorry to bother you blokes but sort of puts polishing bike on back burner.I went and filled 14 up today but its just a blur at moment. Maybe wrong place to fit my emotions. Sorry.

That's really sad grog, cancer is a bastard.
My mother phoned me last week to tell me she has been diagnosed with it, just waiting for the doctor to tell her what the outlook is and when (and if) she can have an operation to sort it out.

Yup, it sucks big time.

My mother recently had it twice in her breast.  First time they opted to just remove the bad bits as best as they could but it returned. Second time it needed to be a full amputation.

Mental scars are huge. My mother is 72 but does not like to be cuddled anymore by Dad as she now fears "intimicy" ( she is embarissed by the fact she only has 1 boob left )

When we remind her of the other outcome of having had Cancer, she does mellow down.

Hope it all works out for your daughter,

all the Best

Best wishes to her for a speedy recovery.

All I can say is that science is constantly producing better outcomes and care. Devastating I know, but look at what the situation would have been 50 years ago.

Feel for you buddy, both my sister and her daughter are both currently recovering from recent cancer operations, damn thing is a real bastard so can 100% understand how you feel and the mixed emotions. All you can do is be there to support, family always comes first. Best wishes to you all, especially your daughter.

Sorry to hear that grog, can only wish her, you and your family well. Sometimes words don't cut it, right now I'm overloaded, just silence and that loving touch I'm finding very healing.
Kia Kaha.

Sorry to hear that, the poor thing.

Mate all you can do is be an ear to listen and shoulder for her to lean on, nothing you can do to 'fix it' sadly.

And then we can be the ear to listen to you, when you have things to discuss / vent.

We're here for ya mate.

And yes cancer is a bastard alright.

ThankYou all, so much appreciated. Weve done it all b4, Wife now 25 yrs clear breast cancer, im 11 clear prostate. Cancer to us is not a death sentence, just a Fnnn, process to go thru, not at all fun, Docs fill their pockets, we stress to max, so life changing. Do Docs really care, not so sure. The others that help, Nurses etc, they do care, amazing people.

Looking on the bright side - if you were in the USA you'd be half a million in debt for the healthcare by now
