      Cancer is hard. It has been a little over a year ago since my boyfriend died from lung cancer. I can't relate to the pain of losing a parent, but I know how it feels watching someone you love be sick with cancer. It is an undescribable hurt.

      I am so sorry for your loss! 😪 I lost my dad in January this year. He had stage 2 prostate cancer, and his radiation treatments led to a sudden heartatack. Words cannot express the void and pain losing a parent leaves. 💔 My thoughts and prayers are with you.

        @dolphinblues what’s amazing to me is how over the course of 200 thousand+ years of human evolution and technological discovery we only have radiation and literal poison chemotherapy. It’s sickening the durability and audacity of cancer.

          @Nihilus I agree! And then we have Drs that use way too much, like my dad's. Although it is ridiculously hard to prove, so it's even harder to make him accountable. My dad had a doubled edged sword though. He had a stent put in on the widow maker part of his heart 15 yrs ago. The stent gave out under the stress of to much radiation. I cannot fathom losing him at your age AND watching him die. I am so very sorry that happened to you.

      I don't know what I'd do without my father - I'm so sorry for your loss though words are nowhere near enough to ease your pain. I'm here if you want someone to vent to.

          @Nihilus I can't imagine what that must have been like. No kid should have to go through that.
