F*^$ Cancer
Add Tony Snow to the list of recurrences. I'm not a doctor, so I don't know how serious this is, but when my Dad's cancer went to his liver it was the beginning of the end. Here's hoping both he and Elizabeth Edwards can beat the odds.
From the WA Post: Tests Show Snow's Cancer Has Returned By Peter Baker Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, March 27, 2007; 10:54 AM White House press secretary Tony Snow, who has become the face of the Bush presidency over the last year, has cancer again. Snow's deputy, Dana M. Perino, broke into tears at an off-camera briefing this morning as she announced that the cancer has spread to his liver. Doctors discovered it when they operated on Snow on Monday to remove a small growth that had developed in his lower abdomen. Snow, 51, who underwent surgery and months of chemotherapy for colon cancer two years ago, plans once again to "go after it as aggressively" as he can, Perino said, but it was unclear when or whether he would be able to return to work. "Of course, we're pulling for Tony," Perino said. "We certainly gain strength from his optimism. We know he's going to beat it again." A former Fox News television and radio host, Snow joined the White House last year and quickly became one of its most prominent figures, jousting with reporters at the daily televised briefing and, in a departure for a presidential press secretary, even headlining Republican fundraisers during the midterm election campaign last fall. He has been credited by colleagues with presenting a more vigorous public defense of an embattled president while maintaining collegial relations with reporters. Snow has been open about his past battle with cancer. He constantly wears a yellow wristband that marks him as a cancer survivor, and he teared up at his first briefing from the White House podium last year when recounting his experience and what it meant to him. Just last week, when Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of Democratic presidential contender John Edwards, announced that her own cancer had returned, Snow offered effusive praise for the dignity and optimism she exhibited. "As somebody who has been through this, Elizabeth Edwards is setting a powerful example for a lot of people, and a good and positive one," Snow said from the podium. "She's being aggressive. She's living an active life. And a positive attitude, prayers, and people you love are always a very good addition to any kind of medicine you have. So for Elizabeth Edwards, good going. Our prayers are with you." Snow announced the discovery of the small growth in his own lower abdomen the next day, but it had not sparked great concern at first in the White House because other tests had come back negative for cancer. He said at a briefing that day that he decided to have surgery anyway "out of an aggressive sense of caution." The White House got a clue that the operation yesterday had not turned out well when doctors postponed giving Snow's colleagues a full report. By last night, the White House could tell reporters only that Snow was "resting comfortably." Snow called President Bush shortly after 7 a.m. today to tell him the results of the operation, then called Perino just before she went to the briefing room for her 9:30 a.m. informal briefing called a "gaggle." Perino began crying almost from the beginning. After taking several questions on Snow's condition, she asked reporters if she could respond to other news of the day at her 12:30 p.m. briefing. "It was hard news for us," she said. "I didn't cry until this moment." She said Snow was up walking around and reported feeling fine. "He was in very good spirits," she said. "He was trying to help me with some talking points." Reporters laughed and asked if he provided talking points on his own condition. "This and other things," she said. "He's fired up on the supplemental," the emergency war spending bill that Bush and Congress are fighting over. She also forwarded a message from Snow to his tormenters in the briefing room. "He said, 'Tell them not to bug me,'" she recounted.

Well, on a positive note, my wife's sister appears to be in remission after THREE different kinds of cancer were found in her breasts and ovaries last year. She's undergone her chemotherapy and is currently going through one last round of radiation treatment (I thought those were the same things, but they're not apparently), but the doctors are so encouraged that they're not even recommending radical mastectomies or surgery to remove the ovaries entirely.

If anything, "Fuck Cancer" is too mild.
Killed my dad's identical twin, my great-grandfather, several other relatives on both sides of the family, and got my wife's cousin abruptly last week even though he appeared to actually have it beaten. And that's without even mentioning what it put my wife through last year, although she kicked its ass good & proper. Fuck Cancer indeed.

The tough part with Liver cancer is that once it goes there, it can spread easily to other areas since the liver is a big part of the lymphatic system. I too say fuck cancer, since my wife is a cancer and I enjoy it with her.

F U cancer.
The worst part, I think, is that people can struggle with it for so long--it's just indescribably painful to see someone fight cancer for a couple of years, putting up with chemo just so that they can see their kids grow up, and then, they die anyway

Include me in the Fuck Cancer crowd...
We found out about 2 weeks ago that my dad has bone cancer, Multiple Myeloma. He doesn't need chemo, though they have decided to do some radiation treatments on a spot on his spine. It's mostly in his ribs, basically causing lots and lots of little fractures that are causing him to be in a lot of pain, which is what I'm having the hardest time dealing with. He's on medication - thalidomid - yes, the same thalidomid used in the 60's and that was "banned" by the FDA, it's now used to fight cancer - go figure. He's also on steroids for 4 days then off for 10. It's been really stressful on all of us, but everything we've heard from doctors tells us that he'll beat this, although it will never go into remission, it will be more of an "inconvenience", but I'm still terrified that they are wrong. Anyway, fuck cancer!

Fuck Cancer!
My mother died 6 years ago from pancreatic cancer that spread to her liver and all over her abdomen. She didn't even know she was sick until about 5 weeks before she died. One of my best friends at school has been battling cancer in various forms for nearly 6 years. Just when it looks like she'll beat it, it strikes back and she has to leave the classroom for another semester/year. And, Lily's father is battling prostate cancer. So...yeah...fuck it with a sharp brutal filthy dildo.
