Cancer is just so cruel

[cbluechicken]

I have such a fear of developing cancer as I get older because it just feels inevitable. I always knew this but that new article about alcohol and it being linked to like 7 cancers made me wanna never drink again.

[loonyluna26]

I feel the same. I'm like is it this country? Is it in the food should I move is it my deoderant there's so much fear

[cbluechicken]

yeah. In America, it's definitely poor diet, emphasis on drinking culture, etc.

[chaotic_n]

Oh God. Would you mind sharing the article you read?

This poor woman. I hope she has support and comfort with whatever she decides to do.

My poor aunt has had a similar cancer journey as Shannen. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 96 and had a double mastectomy. Then in 2011, it came back and she beat it again. Had been in remission until the holidays where she was having cognitive issues and they found a brain tumor. The really sad part is that I never found out about her health issues at the time because her husband had terminal liver cancer at the time of her first diagnosis. Then my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer during her second bout. She always had to be strong for others.

She had a mastectomy and it still came back?? That doesn't seem fair :(

[zibbydoo324]

Yup. I’m 90% sure she even had a double mastectomy. Like I said, her diagnosis's always took a backseat to other family illnesses. I didn’t really find out until I was answering family health questions for my own health.

It really sucks, but there's just no way to be sure they got every last bit of breast tissue. And it only takes a little

Wishing Shannen the best.

My family member passed away only a week ago from bone cancer at the age 36. Everybody kept telling him he just sprained his ankle from yoga, it was tumor. He went so fast and I had terrible health anxiety since :(

[hiimtish]

I’m so sorry for your loss. How awful that the injury masked the reality

[loonyluna26]

This is making me panic about this pain I've had in my hip pelvic area

[healthypanda]

Omg, I am so sorry.
