Guest JohnGalway Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your friend Al. Cancer is like a thief, robs the individual, family and friends alike. Hope they come up with some solution to it soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reynardhunter 3 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 What an illness and why in this day and age can't they find the cure , they seem quick enough to add stuff to the ever growing list of stuff that causes it Today I went to see a fella I've got to know over the last few years, sixty five years old, retired about five years ago from his own coal delivery business, just starting to enjoy life, bought a beautiful motor home for him and his Mrs to shoot off whenever they fancy two weeks ago they gave him three months to live , what I saw today was basically a bag of bones and lucky if he survives the third week . I'd gone over ready for some banter to try and ease the time for him, but when I got there FFS!!!, his Mrs could barely understand him so I had no hope, they thought it was the doctor as they'd been waiting for him most of the feckin day , still hadn't been at 18.40 , but then maybe that's what it's all about, why rush to folk in this situation , why produce a cure as it sure as hell helps to keep the population down That's life I guess and it was no beach for the fella I didn't recognise today the big C takes no prisoners, well very few anyway, my ma has it and they cant do anything for her but ease the pain and slow down the growth, shes 83 years old and shes doing ok in so far as she gets about a bit and still has her witty sense of houmer, shes happy that she has seen at least one of her grandchildren get married and has several great grandchildren, she has accepted her faith and dosent moan about it, the doctors didnt give her any time, they reckon something else could kill her before the cancer because the older the person the slower the spread, and they can really slow it down with medication, anyway i love her dearly and when she goes i,ll be gutted but as you rightly said, thats life Quote Link to post Share on other sites
