Welcome to Winter! The Daily Chit-Chat

It's a shame that he didn't live long enough to get the cure for cancer(yes it has been cured but needs to do human testing before anyone get it).

 

[Livewire]

You would think by now we'd have some sort of mass produced, viable cure.

This is a good step:

It's terrible, as any death is really. The man is a legend though, and most certainly won't be forgotten. Though, because he died of cancer, it makes me wanna keep more of an eye on my granddad. He has cancer also. Not pancreatic cancer, but even still. Cancer's just taken too many lives, and so many too soon.

Hi, I never post in here.

Agreed. Almost everyone I know has had close ones affected by cancer and it is really hard. Even me; I have an uncle, an aunt, and a handful of other close relatives and friends be affected by it. It is so heartbreaking..

It doesn't seem to run in my family, thankfully. My grandmother survived...I think ovarian or breast cancer. Not too sure. She was very private about it. Although she's been my grandmother my whole life, she is only related by marriage, so it's not anything that connects with me. My granddad has throat cancer. It's heartbreaking, like you said. He can't eat anything. I hate eating downstairs. Cause I mean, he's there. And all he can do is blend food in a blender and use his feeding tube. I don't even know if he can drink anything at this point. :/ He doesn't talk well anymore either. He always sounds like he's got a bad cold when he speaks.

 

[Livewire]

Maybe I should have picked a happier topic. :/

 

[Cherrim]

...yeah, you probably could have. :(

I think cancer runs in my family... or at least, my grandmother had it. We thought she'd beaten breast cancer, but it came back and spread to her brain (I think) and her health deteriorated really quickly after that. I was fairly young back then (at least the first time she had it) so I never learnt the details. It's always sad, though. Having to go through something like that just seems so terrifying.

 

[Zet]

I recall reading somewhere that everyone gets cancer up to four times year, it's just the unlucky ones that the cancer slips through the immune system and attacks the body :(

 

[Sydian]

Yeah Love Wire. You should have picked a happy topic. Like Bob Dylan.

AND OMG ZET. Now you have me scared for my life. I wonder if it's attacking me like...now. I'm going to be paranoid. All your fault!

 

[Ryoutarou]

Cancer doesn't really run in my family, but my mother had it. Thankfully she's beaten it, she was actually the first person in the family to get it and yeah, it can be pretty scary. @_@

 

[Ho-Oh]

AND OMG ZET. Now you have me scared for my life. I wonder if it's attacking me like...now. I'm going to be paranoid. All your fault!

Syd this is how I feel about tape worms and heart attacks all the time. I'm constantly afraid of tape worms inside of me and randomly fearful of heart attacks occurring. :(

 

[Sydian]

lmao That reminds of one time when I didn't know what pregnancy was and blurted out "IS PREGNANT A DISEASE????" And now that I think about it, yes. Yes it is. A disease that makes you large and hungry.

Don't forget all the morning sickness!

I pretty much thought the same as a kid and...now that I think about it, I was probably incredibly tactless. XD;

 

[Ivysaur]

Being paranoid about your health is not healthy, surprisingly enough XD Last year, I was pretty much like Nica, but I started taking some pills and I'm way better now.

Thinking you'll get cancer every day will get you insane. If nature decides it's your turn, accept it. But no degree of paranoia will give you extra help.

 

[Ho-Oh]

Went are you suggesting I should start taking pills D<

I was never afraid of being preg--oh wait, I actually was. I remember when my stomach got larger as a kid when I was growing since I had a completely flat stomach prior to that and I was like "oh no am I becoming pregnant at eight years old?!"

 

[Ivysaur]

...no, I'm just saying that I went to the doctor, he prescribed me some pills, and now I'm better XD

 

[Ho-Oh]

Oh! I don't see how pills would help with health paranoia, though :x Plus I hate taking pills anyway, so... I never take them. :3;

 

[Sydian]

So wait are we talking about birth control now? Because YOU KNOW I would love my birth to be controlled.

 

[Ho-Oh]

Uh, did you just imply what I thought you implied? :x

I don't want to use birth control, though, the thought of taking pills so often, ugh.

 

[Zet]

I believe she did imply what you thought she implied.

 

[Kura]

The only pills I'd ever look forward to taking are Flinstones Vitamins :3~ OMNOMNOMNOM. Never tried birth control.. have no clue if they taste nasty or are hard to swallow. Though I swallow most pills without water.
