Yeah, very true. We have all this technology and all this great stuff, but we still have diseases that have no cure. You have my sympathies though, dude. This definitely sucks. I just recently lost my grandfather to pancreatic cancer so I know how hard it is to see a loved one in that condition.

Yet you don't often hear of this crap happening to bad people... those that might deserve a bit of karma. Why can't we just hear that terrorist leaders are dropping left and right, riddled with cancer. If a hell existed, I'd have to say clearly we're already there; part of the 'torture' being seeing bad people escape this stuff far too often while the undeserving suffer.

Yes, I agree with that sentiment, Indigo. It sucks that good people have to suffer with this stuff while bad people are able to live for a long time.

They practically said what I wanted to say. I just don't like saying it because it makes me feel like a hypocrite. All this anger and rage in me manifests into things I want to get off my chest, but my morals (the ones I have left, anyway) ultimately stop me most of the time.

I'm not saying I would wish cancer on anyone either. But what gets to me is that bad people are still able to live in this world with no problems while good people have to suffer so needlessly through no fault of their own and that we don't yet have a cure for things like this. And if we do, then our government is too selfish to let it be known and that's a crime itself.

On a personal enemy, not even then. A literal world enemy who has thrown away their own humanity and wants to throw away that of everyone else... eh, can't honestly say I'd feel much sympathy for them. Only for the person they could have otherwise chosen to be.
Anyhow. On the upside, many cancers are often not the death sentence anymore that people had once (or still do) fear them to be and some cancers are not as risky as some other incurable things out there. (Such as the rare-ish thing my dad ended up having.) So there's always reason to keep hope up. Speaking of cures, I'm still fascinated by this that I read about last year: Quote:

Right now, she's just here at home with us, working on getting her insurance and things like that. I thought she goes back to the hospital today, but it's next Friday instead. As usual, I'll keep you all posted.

I hope things go as planned. Insurance can be tricky at times though so I really hope it's not too much of a headache.

Just bumping this for a update on things.
After getting a THIRD opinion, my niece is diagnosed with synovial sarcoma for sure now. She got admitted to the hospital 2 days ago for final testing before she starts her chemo (which is tomorrow). Tomorrow is gonna be the first day, so I guess all I can do know is hope. I would say I'll pray for her, but I'm not gonna lie and be a hypocrite: I basically haven't believed in God in the past 6 years. So I ask whoever does here to do me that favor and pray for her. I'll just do what I can to keep her positive.

I say just keep your fingers crossed because that's what I do too. I hope things work out for her and for you too. If you need to vent, you know where to find us.

Bumping this for the update.
The cancer finally got her. My niece passed away yesterday. Her lungs were completely taken over by polyps and it just finally shut her down. I got to see her one last time this Friday, but I just know now I was saying good bye. She was only 21... 21 f*ckin' years old.
