Whiskey, Star Trek, and comic books? If I knew you in real life we could hang out. You’re my kind of people. I’m glad you have the perspective that having been through this before with your wife you can handle it better, but all I can think is that it sucks you’re going through this again. ☹ ---

Type of cancer and when detected are important. Detecting mine on the cusp of Stage 2 was fortunate; it hasn’t always been in my family. Treatment, attitude, and support are also very important. Be strong and positive. iI wish your family well. ---

I’m so sorry, **Dr. F**. If it helps, a lot of us here have survived cancer and some of us have been lucky enough to thrive. I hope this is but a blip in your daughter’s life, and that soon it will be history. ---

My wife - 45 years old - was diagnosed with breast cancer in July and began chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments in August. They’ve been… rough. My mother has been fighting pancreatic cancer for 8 years, which is about 7 years longer than most people manage. The fact that she’s alive is a miracle of science and will. So yeah, fuck cancer. ---

Fuck cancer and stay strong for your daughter. You’re still Daddy after all. She’s lucky to have such a hip and caring father. She sounds like she wants to be like you. ---

Six years ago I helped my Wife throigh breast cancer and a double mastectomy. Three years ago our older daughter was diagnosed with Desmond tumors (which I had never heard of before). I lost my father to stomach cancer thirty years ago. Younger daughter now has a tumor the size of a soup can in her thyroid. Fuck this shit.
