Fucking Cancer

Just got the news that one of my favorite teachers at my highschool was diagnosed with kidney cancer, and apparently has a pretty big tumor as well. This teacher was one of the chillest teachers I've ever met, and he never sugar-coated an answer, just gave it to you straight up. As far as I know, he plans on being able to teach again next semester, but at this point I don't know how likely that'll be. At this point I'm pretty upset about the whole thing, because he taught me so many life lessons that other teachers overlooked.

Yep fuck cancer. My uncle got diagnosed with brain cancer on boxing day last year and passed away less than 2 months later. Miss him a lot.

well that is pretty terrible. Do something nice for him to keep his spirits up. Let him know you feel. Teachers need that shit. Cancer patients need support. Let him know how profound his teachings are. It will help provide the motivation to fight hard and come back swinging. If this dude is legit he deserves all of your support and fellow students support as well. Pay it back! everything happens for a reason. look for the best way to make a bad situation positive and the outcome will be good no matter what. Be part of the reason he beats it. Be easy

Yeah. One of my most influential teachers is on the tail end of breast cancer. I was in 6th grade when she got diagnosed. Went through everything and came out such a positive person. Really lived and kept everything positive, didn't take any moments for granted. I think around 8th or 9th grade it came back again and she fought it and was doing good again. Within the last year or so it came back bad. She retired from teaching and is living at home now. Visited her a couple months ago, it was pretty sad. I guess it's even worse now and she barely get's up, just sleeps a lot. Hoping I'll get a chance to see her again. I have some amazing memories of being a kid in her class.


It sucks.

My dog has been in and out of surgery for a week, he had a lump on his leg so they removed it, and it turned out it was cancerous, then they did an ultrasound on him and found out it spread basically everywhere. We don't expect him to live more than a few days more. He's literally my fucking best friend, We got him the week before 9/11 and he was always my dog, not anyone else's but mine. I've been in and out of tears for the past few hours, I love him so much and I don't want to give him up. I literally can't stand fucking cancer.

I lost my aunt to cancer, I was really young but i still remember. She was a great person/wife/mother, and knowing that if she were alive today, shed be trying to work towards making as many people as possible happy. I miss her a lot and know she would have done a great job helping raising her daughter and staying optimistic. : )


RIP Aunt Elise, and vibes for anyone who has dealt with cancer or any other traumatic life changing situation. The cure is here we just need to get rid of big business and pharmaceutical companies who only care about money. They care about money too, yeah theres a lot of em, money is paper!

Thanks for all the vibes guys, I really need them. Within the past 2 years I also lost my grandmother to breast cancer and a classmate of mine who had been battling some really dangerous cancer for about 6 years. Cancer Fucking sucks.

A girl at my school just died from some sort of brain cancer. I didn't really know her but apparently she had been fighting it for a few years. All I really knew about her was that she was always happy and smiling, even with the pain. Sounds like a winner in my book. RIP. btw I think she was 14ish......shit can happen at any age.

Back when i was in highschool one of my teachers died in a car crash and she was the best teacher, she actually made me wanna go to class and do home work. and she was sexy. Stuff is hard man but its life, and trust me, you will be introduced to way more depressing things in your life then your teacher getting cancer. best of luck.

My mom was diagnosed a few years back. I was younger at the time and it was a really hard thing to have to go through.. It thought me that people are strong. And that there are so many people out there willing to help.

Vibes. My favorite teacher, and probably the whole school's favorite teacher committed suicide last year. Chillest guy you could ever meet. Greatest artist too, he could sculpt anything out of clay. Its tough, but you might even get another cool teacher. Good luck to your teacher man.

Cancer fucking sucks! I just hope we can cure it easily without any pain in the future. I lost three of my four grandparents through cancer and it sucks so bad! I do how ever know a guy our age who just won the war against cancer. Its a hard battle to win, but its possible. I really hope, as i said before, that cancer soon becomes history, and doesn't have a presence nor a future in our world.
