: The problem with Cancer is that even if you beat it, you're still fucked.
Yes. I don't even have cancer. I have a rare disease which ACTS like cancer. I will have it my whole life. I might as well live in a fucking bubble so I don't get sick and die from a cold.
: My best friend, a few years ago, was diagnosed with this weird tumor in his throat/jaw area. It was cancerous and it might have spread to his brain. They "CHEMO'D" his ass (which by the way is the stupidest treatment in the world; Hey you've got a horrible poison in your body and we don't know how to kill it, but we can shoot you full of radioactive poison that might kill the cancer, or it might kill you, or you might get super-dooper-spider powers...WE DON'T KNOW.) and now he is alive and happily married, fully functional.
: Except for the fact that one half of his face will never grow facial hair again, ever. Okay, pretty shallow to think about that, but take into consideration the dude thought he was going to die, and by five o clock in the evening, one side of his face looks like Tom Selleck while the other half looks like a baby's ass. Now take into consideration the ignorant assholes who constantly ask him if he's a "SHAVING CREAM" model.
Yeah. I just LOVE it when people ask me why I have scars all over my arms. (From so many IVs and blood draws.) Or when they look at me skeptically, "You don't ::LOOK:: sick." Well fuck you, I don't have to LOOK sick to BE sick.
