No I’m not sorry about the caps. What I am sorry about is the fact that there are STILL Dr.s out there telling people they are going to die, and giving them deadlines. Hey Dr. LEE in Temecula, Ca. remember me? According to you I was to die yesterday. That’s right 6 months that’s what you gave me, remember? I do! I bet you not only don’t remember but I bet you also told that to several other poor slobs. People with cancer don’t deserve this kind of treatment from Dr.s! The Hippocratic Oath is an oath historically taken by doctors swearing to practice medicine ethically. What is ethical about giving someone a death sentence??? jaimie03 asked for help, please advise her, she’s scared for her Mother because some lame Dr. gave her Mom a death sentence!
Cancer is not a Death Sentence, even if your at ST4, I am living testament to that! No thanks to Dr. LEE.
God Bless

Ignorance shows it ugly face
Susan Williams Tucker "I'm so against this "sucks" trend regarding cancer. Having cancer is bad enough. Being associated with trash talk is not appreciated! There has to be a better way to express things."
Susan Williams Tucker "No matter how much fun it is to "vent" - it doesn't elevate you or our fight against cancer by sounding like a low class idiot. Would you wear a tee shirt stating "I be aginst that daggum friggin cancer sheeeett". Same thing. Let's at least have some dignity."
This is an example of why the United States of America is going to hell in a hand basket. Because people like this can't keep their opinion about something that has nothing to do with them to themselves. And then when they do make an unasked for opinion, its obvious its made in judgmental ignorance. Susan you should be ashamed of yourself, you came onto our blog and accused us of having "fun" venting. every person on Blogforacure.com has cancer, or loves someone who has it. How dare you come to our blog and make accusations. Do the rest of the country a favor, stay in VENICE, Florida we have no use for your ignorance. May God forgive you.

Mondays Officially Suck
What is it about Mondays? I seem to lose it emotionally every Monday. I either get a why am I doing this, or why should I keep fighting this, or wouldn’t it be easier to just say I quit. Sometimes I get mad, I go nutty on my family, I lose it and take it out on someone I love, or I just start screaming at no one in particular, sometimes I’ll even pick a fight with someone I don’t even know because I get this attitude about screw it I’m dying anyway, what the hell are they going to do to hurt me? Sometimes I think about robbing a bank to solve my financial problems, hell what are they going to do throw me in jail? Sometimes I think about finding all the people that hurt me in my life or used me or hurt my family and going back and making them pay. I hear all the time on the news how people do it and get away with it, why not me, why isn’t my turn now after all I’m dying anyway right?
I only think like this on Mondays, so for me Mondays suck, will always suck. Tomorrow I’ll be fine, back to my old loving, fighting this dam disease self. Mondays make me feel lonely, make me feel sad. Mondays always bring you back to reality, Mondays suck.
God Bless Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and God please do something about Mondays, they suck.

To long
Ow! Its been a month gone by and I haven't updated. Oops. Well the last big update I had on my other blog is that they have taken me off of infused chemotherapy. Instead now they are trying a pill on me called Tarceva. Its a very expensive pill ($4500.00 per pill), it is said to be great for controlling cancer cells. It does however have some nasty side effects, worst of which for me has been an acne like rash. I hate rashes, I would rather take a shot in the foot than have a rash. So right now because the rash has gotten so bad for me I have had to stop taking the pill for 7 days to give my body a chance to recover. Plus I am also taking a couple more meds to counter the rash. Wednesday will be the day I call the Dr. back to find out where we go from here.
Overall I feel good, I have been able to do some light work around my property. My lungs are definitely stronger than 6 months ago. I have even started bugging my boss about letting me return to work. (Doubtful that will happen). On BFAC (Blogforacure.com) there has been alot of ranting about this "pink" breast cancer awareness month. How they seem to have commercialized it and taken the real meaning away from it. Also some serious talk about how our wonderful FDA (Fuddy Duddys Association) has prevented, stepped in the way of, and screwed up some real steps toward better drugs for cancer. If someone is reading this please go check it out. Anyway, I got a new laptop, kind of a beefy one a Toshiba Qosmio, I love it ( it weighs a ton) but it keeps me in great shape lol. I am currently trying to find a wheel carry on type bag that can hold it. Well enough ranting for one post, take care blog I'll be back =0

“Can’t we have some choices besides “sucks”?? Just because we have cancer doesn’t meant we want to sound like low life rednecks. Having cancer is bad enough.”

I’m sorry susan to say this but I take a bit of offense at being called a “low life redneck”.
The logo to this site has always been “Cancer Sucks”, I’m sorry if its not politically correct for you, but then that begs the question? Why would you blog on a site you don’t like?
God Bless.
Ignorance SUCKS
Being judgmental SUCKS
Getting banned from anything Jill…SUCKS
see how useful this word is? I am now going out to the front porch to chew sunflower seeds and look at the broke down truck in the yard.
Love Yall

Fun to Vent?
I was raised in the South. And it was many years ago, I guess. No self respecting person (especially a woman!) would wear cuss words on their clothes!! Yes - I see that all the time at clinic for chemo. One man even wears a black shirt with white letters stating FU*& Cancer. Unbelieveable but true. To me --- that is the ultimate example of letting this disease beat you. It has stolen even your dignity. Look? Even in this e-mail he is known as the man with cuss words on his shirt. No thanks. And thankfully my son felt the same way. His chemo tee shirt said Livestrong and another one said Survivor. Apparently most people feel differently.
Good luck to you,
Susan
May God have mercy on you Susan Williams Tucker, I’d be hard pressed to. For those of us that don’t know what I’m venting about check out Jill’s post for a vote, also check out Blogforacure’s facebook page and look for Susan’s comments.

Donnie you were my very first supporter and I love you dearly. BUT please my friend stress is our enemy and let no one piss you off least of all whats her face…there you see I have forgotten her name already.
Much love to you and your family and of course our very dear friend Jill, whom without, none of us would have met.
Dani xx
Thank you for this post. You put into words what I could not. I woke up this morning upset about this, trying to think of how to voice my thoughts.
I was annoyed, but not offended by her objections to Cancer Sucks, which she voiced when Jill took a poll on FB a while back. If you don’t like that kind of language, you have a perfect right to say so. However, you do NOT have a right to attack a group of good, loving, generous people who are nearly always willing to agree to disagree about things in order to work toward the greater goal of supporting each other through very, very difficult times. We are not hurting anyone with this slogan. We are helping many, many people. We are not wrong here. If you don’t like the slogan, don’t buy the tee shirt.
Susan revealed on FB in response to Jill’s Cancer Sucks poll that she lost her son to cancer 2 years ago. While we may not agree with her that “Cancer is Merely Highly Unpleasant,” we can pray for her and her family.
Peace,
Kathy

Susan now that my temper has flared I’d like to be a bit more sensible, have you even bothered to read the blogs? Do you have cancer? Have you ever had cancer? If so then what the hell are you about? “Dignified” blogs against cancer? Are you serious? Cancer is shit, its despicable, it destroys lives, it destroys children, it destroys families, it destroys LIFE, How in the hell can you call us undignified? Are you kidding me? And you think our blog is fun? If you were in my face I would slap you. You have no idea what your talking about even if (which despite how mad I am at you I wouldn’t wish it on you) had cancer ever in your life. I suggest you read the blogs before you judge us undignified. Then have the courtesy to acknowledge me or any of the others on Blogforacure.com
Susan Williams Tucker October 20 at 6:30am Report
I do have cancer and I lost my 25 year old son to leukemia in September of 2008. Have a nice day.
Don Venice October 20 at 9:15am
Susan I will have a nice day, but please before you go and judge someone or something you know nothing about I suggest you do some research, read our blogs, see what we are about. I apologize to you for my reaction to your comments, in my eyes you attacked what has become a family for me, unjustly and uncalled for. For that I am sorry, but please I don’t want you to turn away mad, please take the time to read the blogs, you may not like our logo, but I’m sure you’ll like us. God Bless you in whatever you do. I to like many others on our blog have lost loved ones to this horrible disease. We do not “trivialize” cancer, its killing all of us on Blogforacure in one form or another. I will pray for your son and you.
Thats where we have left it, hopefully she does read out blog and see what we are about.
God Bless

I have read the blogs. You may be surprised to learn that I have actually made a friend through Blog For a Cure and we support each other through Facebook and e-mails.
I was raised in the South. And it was many years ago, I guess. No self respecting person (especially a woman!) would wear cuss words on their clothes! Yes – I see that all the time at clinic for chemo. One man even wears a black shirt with white letters stating FU*& Cancer. Unbelieveable but true.

I decided not to respond any further. Apparently Susan and I come from 2 different upbringings. I was taught “All is fair in love and war” I am at war with cancer, I will do, say, feel, whatever I need to to beat it. I don’t have time for “dignified, fair, politically correct”, battles.
So Susan good luck with your fight and may God be with you.
I started to speak back to her yesterday in the middle of the ‘vote’ blog, then erased it, not wanting to feed into her bitterness. But last night I couldn’t bite my tongue(fingers?).
After I called her that not nice name I felt bad and posted my apology to everyone here. Imagine my suprise this afternoon, seeing what I started?
Amen to all of us. Don’t mess with my family!
