Facing an uncomfortable surgery decision, daughter has possible ass cancer, and then wife got rear ended this morning on the way to work (on a car thats paid off of course...)

Dear Lord,

Stop kicking me in the balls. That's why I post in the Bear pit.

My wife had ass cancer about 3 yrs ago(stage 1). If it is caught early, one has a better chance of getting rid of it( as is usually true with any cancer). The one thing is is that no matter what stage is, it is all treated the same. The treatment has not changed for a long time(decades). Her’s was a combination of radiation and chemo. The radiation wasn’t bad but the two rounds of chemo really kicked her ass. At one point in time I cleaned the house of guns because she didn’t want to continue the chemo. Chemo sucked, really sucked.
I should add that today it has not shown any sign of recurrence, thought she does have some side effects from radiation but not badly.

I was not trying to be a Debby Downer in my previous post, just realistic. Any cancer sucks, but it treatable and much more survivable than in previous years. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and especially her. Treatment affects different people differently. Her chemo Dr. said her reaction to chemo therapy was one of the worst he had seen. My radiation treatment was a higher dose than hers but she had a few more side effects.
Give her all the support you can, it is a tuff road to travel but it is passable.
Godspeed my friend.

Just found out one of my old employees has died of cancer. He was 64. He retired about 3 years after I did. He moved to Tampa and got to spend about 2-3 years there.

Prayers indeed. My younger brother had it and has dealt with ulcerative colitis since age of 14. He's doing well. Similar results as Redheeler mentioned above. It can be defeated!

FUCK CANCER!!!
I still remember emptying emesis buckets for my mom when she was doing chemo.
37 yrs ago.
We talked on the phone last evening. And do a couple times a week.

As a father, as best one can when not in a situation, I can imagine where you are.

I hope “possible” means there’s a chance. I hope it’s not cancer.

As far as the paid off rig. Had one totaled in 2019….I wish it was in 2022 post inflation dollars. Perfectly good vehicle, just did a trans rebuild and all new motor mounts. $1,500 payoff.

I get kicked in the balls a lot, you would think having small balls I’d be immune….. unfortunately life has a “wide foot”
