I have had thoughts like this before even when just hearing the words because I knew it would come after me because it "Cancer "runs. In family on both parents side and my sister is a Survivor and I just learned of a cousin who is a survivor of Colorectal Cancer and he's been using a 🎒 but my mother has been 50th years gone due Ovarian cancer and now me but I will fight. Thank God for this group 🙏 🙌

I totally understand and felt exactly the same way as you do since I’ve been through breast cancer 19 years ago. After a surprise, diagnosis of ovarian cancer from a hernia repair., then six chemo’s and the massive surgery, which I was scared to death of having, I live each day at a time and have tried to return back to normal activities as best as I can. But living each day knowing there is no cure and it will come back per my doctor and there’s not much else she can do but have frequent CAT scans and monitor for it. I have been able to return to my job two days a week 12 hour shifts for now. Hang in there it is very scary never knowing what tomorrow will bring, as I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Stay strong and keep in prayer. I will be praying for you.

Please talk this over with someone you trust. I’ve been battling prostate cancer for 15 years. There have been some very low lows. Keep up the fight brother.

Dear David, come on bro, you have the name of a king of Israel, a king "RULES"!!! This is no time to let the worst enemy of your soul [Satan the Devil] take control of your life. You are the "RULER" so you control "YOU", not someone or anything else controlling you. Life is precious, life is dear, please hang in there, trust your "Creator" for total healing & "FIGHT"!!!✊ This is the time to be the best "BOXER" that you can be!!! 😇 Much Blessings & prayers. 🙏🙏🙏

U have the strength inside you to fight the Cancer With God's strength and prayers 🙏 Amen

Explanation: Stage 4 colon cancer. Doc lowballed my time but is not sure. My wife has dementia, so isn't really aware of what's going on and how serious it is. I have no friends that I can rely on. Don't want to burden anyone. One family member left to help and will be there at end of days. Cannot spend time doing anything positive. Wife hates my family, so my contact has to be hidden. I can get out for shopping and medical appointments. I have all legal documents done for when I die, so I'm ready that way. I'm on edge every day and need sleeping pill to sleep. I don't have someone I can talk about this. I have my books. Hate that I'm going to leave so many unread.

Well said because I felt down on life until I went to the Radiologist Consultation and DR. Did so much for me that I feel so much better plus he doesn't even think I have Cancer in my VJJ,OMG I didn't even question them Instead of asking that very question but he did a papst test and pushed the Tumor off of my Rectum some and the pain was Worth it 👌 Thänks DR.

Yes,We must talk and be strong for each other and never give up although I've been the same "Both ends of the spectrum but I don't want to give in to a fleeting thought and let everyone here down for That's not why I read your stories and comments,It was to help you and to get some help or insight but at first I left but not for long because Cancer took my mother's life 50 years ago and she taught me to be a fighter when I was 7 and now I have the true enemy and I'm tired of watching it take my friends and my Family,I'm going to stand up and face it because I also have PTSD so HERE I COME
