Fuck cancer

[fufaraw]

I lost a friend today, after a long battle made needlessly more difficult and painful by the US medical system. She was bright, articulate, sarcastic with a soft sympathetic underbelly and a practical way of getting things done. She was a light, not just to me, but to many others, and she'll be missed.

There are so many others, many of them prominent in today's news who, if the world was fair, deserved her fate far more than she did. It fills me with rage that they're still here, and she's not.

Right now, everything stinks.

I want a t-shirt with "Fuck cancer" and I´m so sorry for your loss.

I have cancer too and since them I had to burrie a good friend who lost his fight against this illness.
I bought Jared t-shirt "Allways keep fighting" for that reason (not knowing about the other meaning)
stay strong and keep your friend in mind and heart.

I didn't know you were ill, I'm sorry. How are you doing? I'm glad you have the shirt, and can wear it on days you need it. I'm glad you're keeping on fighting, too. And I'm sorry you lost your friend. I hate this disease, it's stupid and unfair. But I'm really glad you're here and fighting.

I had two operations last year and I don´t feel ill (I skipped on the chemo therapy).

Yes the shirt came out at a time I needed it, even if there was a little misunderstanding in what it means.
