You'd think cancer would give up and move on?
My mate's dad's the same, numerous potentially fatal illnesses over the years and he's beaten each one. Nice to see your dad's a fighter as well.

Dad's eh?
They're made of tough stuff! I think it'll be a wakeup call/kick up the backside when I one day realise I'm meant to be of the same stuff!

Good on your Dad! It's been nearly 20 years since my Pops first was hospitalised - two decades; I think it'd make a good biography...

yeah, also those pathetic idiots who die of cancer, eh?

Don't understand where you're coming from...

I think you might have caught the wrong end of the stick here...

there's a pervasive attitude around cancer that people 'fight' and then 'win'.
the implication being that anyone who dies was a bit pathetic and clearly didn't 'try' hard enough. I just don't suspect that this is helpful to other sufferers and their families.

that's by no means
what my story or replies indicate nor imply. I understand what you are saying but can't help but feel your bitter-sounding attitudes are far less helpful than a potentially inspiring story.

There are far too many tragic and heart-breaking occurances to not celebrate the victory stories out there!
