Shit, that sucks. I’ve got a friend going through cancer now. It’s a long, rough trek. I hope your daughter does well, and you’re in my thoughts.

If you want to post details, or just vent, people here will listen. Of course, you may not want to, which is fine.

Still processing. This is the girl who lives 1300 miles away. She’s on the phone now filling her mother and me in.

Consultation on Monday to develop a treatment plan.

This isn’t my first rodeo.  
Six years ago I posted something similar for my Wife’s breast cancer and double mastectomy.

I just spent an hour talking comic book shit with my girl.

Jeezus.  
This is my girl. She is my cosplaying geek girl. We can talk comic book trivia for hours. She has been fighting a weight issue for years. She is engaged to an absolutely incredible man, scheduled to get married next October.

Fuck Cancer.

Drinking whiskey and crying in my chair. No young woman deserves to go through cancer treatments.

As someone currently going through it, I heartily agree … and I hope for positive results. If you need a shoulder to cry on or chew on, pm me. I have food ideas, helpful living tips and whatnot if she/you/anybody are interested.

That being said, everybody’s path is different and not everything works for everybody and not everybody gets the same side effects [I kept all the hair on my head, it just grew inchworm slow, but I did end up with an impromptu brazilian @\_@]
