So scared of cancer

Post Reply New Topic

Am hoping none here ever gets cancer here on this thread....Lost mum to heart attack , but 15 years prior she had to lose a left breast . Seems most of the older male members of the adult family , passed from Cancers . Had seem many health issues , number of them my own too. Mainly brought on to myself on my own . Some very severe . from early on
All unintentional , i believed . but seemed the result was a life long study on what could help keep my own anatomy alive.
Cannot explain but nothing any college or school could have ever taught , But one thing am quite sure of and thought maybe to offer it,to anyones ears... Illness , cancer , almost 100% of the time starts from prolonged inflammation.
Brought on by stress or / and diet. Could write much more on this but prolly will gather criticisms. And I do not wish to seem ,I am wanting to pack anyones head. So I must write ( imho).
Hoping your fear of Cancer goes away soon . (And stress of those thoughts ,do not in someway draw it to you )

Yeah I hope no one gets cancer as well

And I hope the person who has been given 2 months to live gets the care and attention she deserves at the end of her life

The friend's mother has passed away. That was mighty quick.

My random thoughts on this topic

Various people claim most everything about modern living causes cancer these days. It seems to me that according to some in order to completely avoid cancer I would have to live entirely off the grid in a cave & never take any medication for anything.

Some of the most common treatments for cancer are well known to cause cancer like radiation & the med Methotrexate. Using cancer causes to treat cancer seems very counter-intuitive to me.

My grandma died of cancer 5 years after being diagnosed. She treated it for a few years before stopping. I forget what type of cancer she had.
When I lived with my parents our neighbor was diagnosed was a serious prostate cancer that kills practically everyone within half a year. He treated it & was able to live a couple more years.

I care about quality of life a lote more than quantity. When I'm doing very bad I think I would rather die than live a lot longer suffering like that. I don't live my life afraid of getting cancer but I do try to take reasonable precautions like avoiding handling certain chemicals & such. In the early part of this year I've taken Methotrexate for a few months for skin exzema because the other treatments did not help, were not affordable, &/are not accessible for me. I was much more concerned about other dangerous side-effects that are potentially more immediate than cancer. I quit taking it because I didn't have a prescription & It looked like I might have a chance of getting it or another med prescribed. My exzema got better while I was taking it & has not flared up as much as it was & I have elevated liver emzymes so I haven't gone back on it, yet anyways.

I forgot that one of my aunts died of cancer a few years ago after treating it for a couple years. I think it was the chemotherapy that killed her by making her weaker. I think I would rather let the cancer kill me than deal with the treatment making my body weaker till my body shuts down. If the cancer was something that could be removed by freezing some skin off or an outpatient surgery, I probably would decide to go that route. However I would not want to risk being stuck in bed feeling very nauseous for over a year assuming I would live that much longer.
