You won’t want to hear this but a friend of mine was diagnosed in early November with the same.
Passed away last Friday. He was 53.
He was in last week for a course of treatment so maybe that knocked the last bit of fight out of him.

I’m very sorry to hear this about your friend. RIP.

This woman is about 5ft and as thin as a pencil so I’d be wary of her strength in going into the treatment. At this stage it is more about containment as it is starting to spread elsewhere. We will see what happens .

In fairness, she had a big battle with the drink a number of years back and managed to knock that. The fags were her one remaining vice until a few months ago. She’s the mother’s only sibling (technically a half-sister) and the mother said to me on the phone that she was glad none of us (me or my sister) were on the smokes.

You’d believe so but so many people die from cancer who never drink or smoke.

Sorry to hear of your aunts news and @Thornhill friends passing.
An acquaintance of ours is being buried tomorrow. Same age as mesel. You couldn’t write her story if you tried. We were Monday club pals a long time ago. But the club became a daily thing for her and her fella. Poor woman was ravaged in the end after a liquid and nicotine diet. She had her demons and torment. Hopefully she is at peace now.

My aunty got diagnosed with breast cancer last week (Tuesday), gone onto the next life last Thursday night. Apparently 0 pain, but did feel growth. 74 years of age.

If ever ya hear your parents or someone who doesn’t go near the doctor, tell them to get it looked at if ever something like that comes upon them. Tis a massive shock to my mother and her side of the family, basically the only thing we can take from it is she didn’t know it was coming/ didn’t have to drive up and down to Whitfield cancer hospital in Waterford and see her go before our eyes.

Very sorry for your loss lad. Yes, quick and short and relatively painless is the only consolation to be found in thinking about your aunt’s illness and passing. I hope your mum finds comfort in that. May she rest in peace.

She and me other aunties and uncles I feel are going to be angry at the fact she didn’t go to the doctor, but I keep emphasing to her that she didn’t go through pain or that thankfully.
