Have you lost someone to Cancer? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

MonarC · 01-13-2008, 12:51 PM

A friend of mine passes a few years ago due to Bone Cancer. Now I found out recently that my dad also has Colon Cancer. He had 2 surgeries and almost died. Now he is ok and recovering but he has another surgery in 6 months and I am terrified of losing him. Last September I also lost my grandmother. We were very close and I still think about her everyday. I try to be positive and not let my depression take over my everyday life but it is a struggle.

Yes, unfortunately I've lost a few friends and (distant) family members to cancer.

Yes, I lost my grandmother (dad's mom) to colon cancer in 2000. My other grandmother died of gall bladder cancer in 1995. A cousin of my mom's was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2005, but she seems to be doing OK now. One of my best friends died of colon cancer in 2006. Also, that's what Elizabeth Montgomery (Bewitched) died of.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad...I hope and pray that he beats it!!

I lost both my Grandfathers to cancer. My grandmother currently has breast cancer.

I lost my Grandma (mom's mom) years ago to breast cancer. She was diagnosed way before I was born and refused any treatment... she lived for 35+ years. She was one hell of a fighter. Cancer wasn't the main thing that killed her (she had other health issues) but it had come back.

Thank you very much I really appreciate that. Believe me I have done a lot of praying myself.

I lost my parents, grandparents on my mom's side and my dog to cancer.
I had cancer in 1989.

I lost my mother to cancer a little over three years ago. Cancer left from a hysterectomy that spread to the liver, lungs, and lymph nodes.

MonarC · 01-13-2008, 04:45 PM

I really hope someday they find a cure for Cancer and Diabetes. My grandmother suffered with Diabetes her whole 82 years of life.

Ohio8 · 01-13-2008, 05:01 PM

My mother, both of her parents, and my mom's older sister's second husband.

WOW! I am really shocked by how many people here in this message board have been affected by cancer in one way or another.

PZelda · 01-13-2008, 07:22 PM

A cousin of mine was diagnosed with cervical cancer on her 17th birthday in 2001, but the docs caught it early enough that hysterectomy was an option for her. She had that done... she's been in remission since August of 2001 and was declared cancer-free in August of 2006.

So, no losses in the family due to cancer, but I HAVE had a family member diagnosed w/ cancer.
