Dr Faustus Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 It's a cunt isn't it? A mate of mine just passed away, 40, just married, two kids... Don't get me wrong, he lived a life as teenager, but matured better than most - certainly better than I did. Are we ever gonna cure 'it', wherever, whatever it may be? I knew he was poorly, but thought I passed him on the school run a week ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birch-chorley Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Doubt they will ever be able to stop a cell mutating Prevention measures (lifestyle etc), Discovery (screening) and Better treatments the way forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted October 31, 2020 Members Share Posted October 31, 2020 Sorry to hear that Faustus. My father in law currently has it as does my granddad it’s utterly shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jol_BWFC Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 It’s a right cunt, for sure. My dad died from it, my step mum had it, step dad has had it twice my mother in law currently has it. As Birch says, the detection systems and treatment are improving all the time (as is awareness of lifestyle choices eg smoking) and I’m grateful for all the care that the NHS has provided for my family so that three of those four are still here today.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted October 31, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2020 My paternal grandma died in 76 from cancer and that's the only person I'm related to by blood who had had it. Touch wood it stays thaty way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) Cunt of a disease, particularly in the young, lost my Mum to it in 96 from ovarian cancer still pisses me off that regular screening would have picked it up earlier and with removal of ovaries she could have been here today. Anyhow mate of mine started a successful charity few years back all money donated goes to research. If anyone wants to donate. https://charity-soul.co.uk/shop Edited October 31, 2020 by Mounts Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that mate With regards to "are we going to cure it" - I know a bloke who works for The Institute for Cancer Research, he's quite a clever chap and is some sort of doctor/scientist type. I once asked him how long realistically until we have a cure for cancer, his answer was...... Never, as the term "cancer" covers hundreds and hundreds of different diseases, and each person's cancer is slightly different to another person's, as its cell specific. He thinks we'll learn to treat it and spot it better, but he also thinks over time (as in hundreds of years) higher and higher numbers/percentages of people will actually get some form of cancer. That's cheery isn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cheery isn't it The older we all live on average the more our cells replicate over a lifetime, giving a greater chance that a cell mutates into a cancer Lifestyle choices like smoking and sunbathing mean your lung cells and skin cells replicate much faster so you your increasing your chances of a mutation earlier in life Then you’ve got genetic coding that puts you at a greater risk of a mutation Just a case of finding them early and developing better treatments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Spider Posted October 31, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2020 It’s wank. Took my mum back in April but only at the 3rd attempt. In all honesty, we can’t live forever so something has to get us. If we cured everything that can kill us we’d have a real problem on our hands. The treatment my mum had was world class, and all free. The NHS could have done no more and the people were remarkable. I think we the focus needs to be on treatments and early detection. Give people a chance at survival for longer. The worst is when it gets people under the age of 70. Derain House is a reminder of cancer at its most evil.

ErnestTurnip Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 If I had to put a bet on I'd say there'd be a fair few on here who have swerved having their prostate checked even though they're at that age. Makes no sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny you should say that, I went with pain in that area thinking because of my age my doctor would probably check it and I even mentioned it but he didn't entertain it.

gonzo Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 My mum was a cancer nurse for 40 odd years. Worked at the hospice, marie curie and Brian House the kids unit.

Site Supporter MickyD Posted October 31, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 31, 2020 Mate of mine got a cyst just on the outside of his anus. It turned into an anal fissure where, rather than just erupt as a spot, it goes inwards and opens up in your anal cavity. That’s where your real problems start as the opening up your arse allows faecal matter to enter your bloodstream. These cysts start off as an ingrown hair. Be warned.
