Just wanted to apologize for my "F you Cancer" rant post last night. Esav was right, there probably are much better ways of expressing that sentiment than by resorting to vulgarity. As my Grandma always told me, profanity is a crutch and an excuse for a vocabulary.

Also, the fact that I felt compelled to apologize at the start of the post should have been a good indicator that this was maybe not the best place for that type of expression.

I am sorry if I offended anyone.

While the wording was not quite optimal the sentiment was.
Thanks for saying what we all feel.
 
I wasn't offended. My mom died of it last year and my cousin's son (8) was just diagnosed with leukemia.

sigh. damn. sorry to hear that rockywolf. and outdoors fan...i'm newer, but we know you around here. it was from your heart. cancer is not pleasant. it's heavy shit. no apology necessary for me.
 
you care, and have been touched by leukemia also, people say a lot worse about a lot less important things.
 
I've lost enough family to cancer, I understood the sentiment -- no offense felt here.
OTOH, I also did not feel you wrote it for Hannah, but that her situation was just the catalyst.
 
It was not the best way to express it, but you got your feelings out there. I have also lost family to cancer, so I understand. I hope no one is upset with me, I requested it to be moved, because Hayley has started reading some of the stuff to Hanna, it cheers her up. I did not want her reading that one.
 
No offence at all, cancer is a horrible disease. Its outcome is much worse than the reactions of its victims and families. Do what it takes to vent ones frustrations of this scourge.
 
I think cancer has touched all of us at some point. We understand the frustration that it brings out.

I wasn't offended,but can see were John is coming from.

Hope you're felling better Hanna!

My mother-in-law is currently undergoing treatment for stage 4 triple negative breast cancer, and seeing what she is going through along with what Hanna is going through is terrifying, depressing and frustrating all at once. Unfortunately, the treatment can be as terrifying, depressing and frustrating as the cancer itself.
 
I'm sorry to hear that Noah. My aunt is going through it right now too. Bone, lung and bowel cancer. All they can do for her is keep the morphine up high enough to keep her comfortable.

Prayers going out to all that are suffering from it and all their families.
