what a cockey litte dick face

No! Really?

Who here has an issue with his issues issue?

Seriously, I hope they get it all out fast and permanently.

Gosh, I was going to say, "Get well soon".

But since you don't want my support and my concerns are pissant...

I feel there's no need.

Have fun with your superior dilemma.

Too much tan for yo. You better get screened out ya soon enough.

I really do hope you get better soon - which probably will be the case, at least if it's skin cancer in one if its earlier stages, and not one of the rarer more aggressive types.

On a more philosophical note though, many people, such as yourself, tend to have pre-established in their minds some kind of hierarchy of suffering, in which, for example, cancer ranks higher than, let's say, loneliness. However, I seriously wonder whether creating such a hierarchy really is useful and ethically correct or not. But this question belongs probably to another thread.

To end, I simply wish you the best.

Sorry to hear that. My dad died from lung cancer in April 2006. He was 67, but in prefect health, until he got this cancer in February. The doctors gave him 3-12 months to live. It turned out it was only 2 months and 1 week. It was extremely fast-spreading. At least it was relatively painless for him. He was always strong, but I watched him get a little bit weaker literally each day, until he was gone.

Good Luck to you. My mom died of cancer of the spine awhile back, she was so doped on morphine her last words to me were"Don't go deer hunting" (I'v never hunted anything in my life) I miss my mom and hope the best for you.
I also feel you should't belittle others concerns just because you feel yours is worse in some way. If you really want to play the "who has it the worst game?" I'm sure you could be trumped by a lot of people on this site, my self included. I'm just not ready to put my pain out on display yet, I'm getting braver through, it'll all come out soon enough.
Pugly my heart goes out to you

jesus christ i wondered why you stopped posting ... i wish you the best whatever that is at this point in time



as to the argument, i think (at lest part of) Todd's point is that unlike many others the problem he now faces is a stone f*****g certainty and almost totally out of his hands

*DELETED*

if you want support or not, i just thought i'd mention that my mother in law had the same thing before. they cut it off and it hasn't come back. that was a few years ago. she just has to be careful in the sun, and wear sun screen, avoid peak daytime hours, etc... slightly life changing, but it's stuff we all should do anyway i suppose.

best of luck to you, and i hope it helps to know that it could've been worse, and that other people have been through it and most of them are fine.

just think... the tiniest unfixable problems are sometimes worse than the most terrible, yet fixable ones. trying to draw your own conclusions about who is deserving of pity or who should or should not be able to vent is kind of a waste of time. actually complaining about anything ever at all is pretty futile, but we still do, cause it helps. sometimes. occasionally. or it doesn't but we feel the urge to anyway.

i don't know man! like i understand you humans! pffft!

I'm sorry that you have skin cancer, and I'm thinking about you. *Hugs*
