Nataly 38 #1 September 12, 2014 Was feeling a little bummed over some frustrations of late until I went to visit my work colleague at the hospital yesterday... It seems like he is days away from losing his battle against cancer, and only 2 months ago he just thought he was tired and due for a vacation...

DrewEckhardt 0 #4 September 13, 2014 CanuckInUSA Cancer is nasty. I'll take a heart attack any day over having to battle cancer. While cancer often really sucks it depends. My butt hurt from the 40mm operating proctoscope they used to cleanup my stage 1 rectal cancer and I missed a few days of work, although that was far better than a heart attack. Being aware of your family's medical history and following accepted screening protocols makes getting treatment like that when you still have "Cancer Lite" a lot more likely. They found mine early due to a false positive occult blood test from the biggest red meat binge of my life the day before my regular checkup, but I don't recommend other people rely on luck like that.

buff 0 #6 September 13, 2014 Holy shit, most folks that get 40mm up the ass delivered via an M79 or a Bofors and never live to say, "butt hurt".It's called the Hillbilly Hop N Pop dude. If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough. That's fucked up. Watermelons do not grow on trees! ~Skymama Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
