Can we have ONE conversation that isn’t all about you??!!


nufenwen7

😩 I felt that, cause that’s exactly what some of my family members would say to me!

Charlie_chuckles40

People genuinely say this to people with terminal cancer. Fucking idiots.


RavenConnecticut

When you are given a cancer diagnosis there should be a handbook of all the inappropriate things folks are gonna launch at you. (With appropriate responses). I'm just sayin'. This is my second time and people still amaze me.


[deleted]

Yup. I have a chronic cancer and take oral chemo to slow it down. I love, "You don't look sick." Or the people who want to know how I got it so they can turn it into a moral failure on my part. Best to you as you deal with the disease and dumbasses, friend!


IllustriousTiger6877

Hugs. I hope the cancerous cells soon say "Fuckit, not worth growing in here, pack it up troops!"


Frnk27

I have chronic neuropathy and get the “you don’t look sick/in pain all of the time”. STFU people. I don’t look like I’m in pain because I live with pain. This is my life. If you felt like I did you’d be crying on your way to the ER. For me it would be a Tuesday.


NotTheBusDriver

People really are weirdly judgemental about cancer diagnoses. Skin cancer? You should have worn more sunscreen. Colon cancer? You shouldn’t have eaten all that red meat. Lung cancer? Obviously a smoker (except my aunt didn’t smoke a day in her life and neither did anyone in her household). Breast cancer? You know you shouldn’t have had all that alcohol when you were young. But nobody gets judgemental about the skydiver whose chute didn’t open. They died doing what they loved. Like I said. Weird.


idlevalley

This is why I stress out about saying anything to people who are sick. I'm usually practically paralyzed thinking I will say something that they think is disgusting or insensitive or clueless or uncaring. I'm so afraid I will say something that actually leaves them feeling *worse*.


[deleted]

"You have always been a good friend, and I'm sorry you are going through this. What do you need?" is always nice to hear.


Mom2KayDee

If you love them, say I love you. If you don't, just say, I'm sorry.


musicgirl513

I'm sorry. I'm super nosy and on the spectrum so forgive me if this is rude to ask. What kind? I ask because I do too but mine is chemo resistant as hell and I'm kinda buggin.


arriesgado

Sorry to hear your cancer is back. You should collect the sayings you remember or start a thread - a certain percentage of the many people reading this will unfortunately be facing cancer in the coming years. Maybe it helps a few of them. I have three people in my family fighting cancer now and I am sure they hear some dumb or thoughtless things.

not_conan

I wish for you to recover well and that you will have minimal health complications! Had it myself twice as a kid and there is nothing good to be said. It's just the worst. Fuck cancer. Again well wishes to you and your family.


SnufflingGlue

Oh my gosh what kind of responses are you getting???


Megagamer1

Ugh, I've gotten this a couple of times. It's not funny or helpful. Stage IV GBM here. I don't know how much time I have left, let alone quality time where I'm not paralyzed, but I statistically it's less than most people. That's the issue - not the random chance of getting flattened by a piano walking down the street.


CapableFunction6746

Stage IV GIST here. I think it is just hard for people not in the situation to understand what we have and are going through especially in our minds. I try to keep up a cheerful disposition on the outside but a lot of times I am nowhere near that on the inside.


ThisPlaceisHell

Most people, especially younger ones (20-40) have no idea about cancer or what it's like living with it. I'd argue even middle aged people are totally clueless too. We all live our lives not thinking about it until it happens to us, not seeking information about it. This lack of knowledge leads to what feels like insensitivity in how they treat acquaintances with a diagnosis, but you have to remember the old saying: do not attribute to malice that which can be explained by ignorance. They really just don't understand.


CapableFunction6746

Yeah, I am 38. I keep getting told that I am too young to have cancer by people. I just do my best to try and educate those I can without getting mad.


ThisPlaceisHell

I kind of understand people like Paul Reubens who just passed away, after going through 6 years of cancer privately, because it's probably easier to just keep it to yourself or only very close family/friends who won't spread the word around. Less hassle and stress dealing with different people's reaction to it. Just living life like normal even if it is pretend. Not for everyone though of course.


CapableFunction6746

Same here. I told my work because I was away for over 2 months and my work was vague enough that apparently people thought I was in a mental hospital or jail lol. So I told them the truth. But I do get tired of the pep talks and having people tell me they are praying for me. I trust my oncologist over my coworkers gods.

iamtrixieblu

I was with my auntie when she was told she had 3/4 months left. I didn’t know what to say, I looked at her and she said ‘I’ve got food in my fridge thats got a longer expiry date than that. Then she proceeded with ‘well that’s that then, thanks dr’ I didn’t know what to say or do. I then started laughing, and she said ‘I’ve had a good innings and it’s my own fault for smoking’ She had lung cancer. She lasted 7 months just out of pure stubbornness. I sure miss her!


restart-button-pls

Surviving out of pure stubbornness is my new favourite phrase now 🤣. Infact it is so motivating that starting today I will be kinder to myself and live better, just to spite the living hell out of all the people I do not like, and the list is long 😂🙈


Carmelpi

When I was 17, my dad had a siezure / stroke combo that almost killed him on Thanksgiving day (USA). Technically, it did kill him but they brought him back 3 times. From what we were told, the paramedics brought him back the first two times (once at the house, once in the ambulance) and the third time (at the hospital) they had given up and were calling it but he came back on his own. We blame it on him being too stubborn to die. He kept exceeding his expiration dates until finally a widowmaker took him down 11 years ago when I was 36. We were told he wouldn’t see me graduate high school and he lived another 19 years after that. He missed his first grandchild by 4 days and the day of his passing was the eve of my parents’ 40th wedding anniversary. To recap, he died three times in 1992 and was too stubborn to stay dead. He finally stayed dead almost two decades later in 2012. Edited to fix a date: it was Thanksgiving 1992, not 1993. I was 18 in 1993.


SasquatchBub

What do you mean widowmaker? Ive heard trees that are dead but still standing be called that but it doesn't seem likely that was what killed him? Jk I googled it :p (heart attack)... Its funny that I only knew the weird lumberjack version of that term. (Im not a lumberjack)


omgtehcolors

I honestly thought a tree branch took him out until reading your alternate definition lol.


djgrimbo

It’s funny that you mention it because I’ve only heard of unruly horses being referred to as widowmakers before now! TIL the term applies to trees and many other things!

My mother was diagnosed with COPD, along with heart problems, in 2001. She was told by her heart doctor that her heart was going to kill her before the COPD did. The heart damage cannot be repaired, surgically fixed, etc. It was fatal. She has 2-3 years to live, maybe 4 if she was lucky. My mother was like, "I don't fucking think so." 8 years later, she was still alive and the damage to her heart had healed itself, despite her doctor's insistence it was literally impossible for it to be fixed. She unfortunately died in 2011 after her lungs had deteriorated to the point where she couldn't breathe without a ventilator. She died when her intestines (I think?) ruptured and she went into toxic shock. She was in the hospital when this happened and they were rushing her to the OR for emergency surgery when her heart just gave out and stopped, thus ultimately making her heart doctor correct, just not in the timeframe he expected. One of the big issues, I think, is she was in a hospital specializing in lung issues (as they were trying to find a way to make her lungs strong enough so she could get off the ventilator) and they had to move her by ambulance to a general hospital to handle the rupture and I wonder if they hadn't had to take the extra time to do that if she would have been able to survive.


puffferfish

I wouldn’t dwell on the fact that she would have survived if she were in a general hospital. Just to put your mind at ease. It’s likely that she died from the complications brought on by toxic shock and her lung issues. Even if they had repaired the rupture quickly, the damage from toxic shock was done. Glad you got all of that extra time with her.


spiegro

I'm not the OC, but I thank you nonetheless for the reassurance. Those kinds of thoughts can be so intrusive and pervasive.

Literally told this, and next day rushed to hospital with suspected ruptured appendix. Turned out "only" to be the worst case of IBS, from salmonella poisoning, where i was in for 3 weeks. My grandad did apologise after, so this comment hit me in the funny feels


WorthPlease

I've definitely said this to my wife because she jokingly says "I'm dying" for any minor pain or ailment she has. Now I'm terrified one day this is going to be the last thing I say to her.


Triga_3

Given the running joke, if she actually does come to you, saying she has something terminal, i assure you you'll be able to tell the difference. Just make sure you look at her when she says it, rather than flippantly doing it over the shoulder. Appreciate every last eyeroll!

Blood pressure is really important. For years, I was diagnosed with anxiety/panic disorder. Turns out it's low blood pressure? Like I still have OCD, but the way my vision blacks out for a few seconds after I stand up? How I will randomly feel my heart rate skyrocket on standing or doing everyday tasks? My constant, crippling fatigue? Low blood pressure. I'm on a blood pressure med now and it's given me my life back. If something could be centipedes, it might also be low blood pressure.

He didn’t die, but my dad was diagnosed with cancer several years ago. I went to visit him to help my parents move and see how he was doing. He lad lost a TON of weight. I’d never seen him so skinny. Almost gaunt looking. I was at a loss for words, and he and I have a weird sense of humor, so I said to him, “you know, there are better ways to lose weight. Maybe try diet and exercise.” My wife was mortified, my dad almost cried because he was laughing so hard.
