The Cancer Thread

[mikehunt]

So you’re speaking for every family that have had a recent bereavement from cancer?

@croppy_boy

A show criticising RTE policy should be in the RTE thread

A post criticising RTE policy on having excessive documentaries on deceased/retired employees should be on the thread said show is being discussed as its topical.

I’m not but you seem to be.

We’ve heard everybody’s opinion by now. Some lads are hardly proud of their input into what is a very personal and frequently harrowing thread.
It’s time to move on, we know we all stand on last night’s programme.

[mikehunt]

Nope. I’m fortunate I haven’t lost a loved one to cancer so can’t comment on how they feel, I can only guess. It’s called empathy.

Then why did your say this?

@mikehunt

Do you think it might help other families in a similar situation?

You’re contradicting yourself. You ought to be embarrassed by your behaviour here, the same fella who aligns himself with a poster who actually used cancer to goad another poster on here.

[mikehunt]

You appointed yourself to be their spokesperson. I asked the question.

Lads yer the biggest shower of cunts… Just let it go ffs

You seemed to be speaking on their behalf so it’s a bizarre accusation to levy at me.

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

I’m open to accepting apologies from the lads who tried to enflame my reasonable comments into something sinister for self-gain.

[Phil_Leotardo]

Genuine question, as you have so much time all day every day to post here…

[iron_mike]

Are we all set for the Christmas lads?

Fuck off with this shite you shilling Cunt

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

Bizarre to single me out in that line hombre. I spend about the same amount of time on here as most posters do on a given day

[flattythehurdler]

I think what @Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy may be alluding to, is more that so many cancer deaths go unremarked and unpublicised, and the suffering is silent.
But every film has to have a subject, and it is only natural really that filmmakers would be inspired (if that’s the word) by one of their own.

@Locke

Can someone answer me this please, is there any truth in the saying “they have cancer in that family” as in a family could be more susceptible to getting cancer than the next? I know that if you smoke 60 a day you have a higher chance of getting a cancer or sit out in the sun etc etc. But are some families prone to getting cancer ‘easier’ than others

It depends. Some genetic defects are hereditary, some spontaneous. Some are passed on, some aren’t.
There’s a lot of factors, but as a rule of thumb it becomes more likely with increasing frequency in the family, other factors aside, as I understand it.

I wasn’t going to bother my hole posting up on this thread but i got really shit news 3 weeks ago. I’ve lung cancer and it’s a grower… Its not curable but treatable…

I’ve been in and out of hospital pretty much for the last 3 weeks. I’ve the first blast of chemo done and dusted with radiation and chemo again in 2 weeks time.

I got home last night finally to see my girleens… Its fucking heartbreaking stuff but you have to pull yourself along and through…

I’m youngish so hopfully the chemo and r3do their job and I’ll do mine…

Stop the fucking bitching, enjoy the time you have that you take for granted and if you’ve got kids, give them an extra hug tonight

[EstebanSexface]

Fuck sake.

Best wishes.

[The_Most_Infamous]

Fuck, best wishes @faldo

You will beat the bastard of a thing.

[iron_mike]
