Just damn brahs.

I haven't talked to her in almost a decade now, but we were together for 6+ years. Met at a concert and were living together within a week. Got engaged after 4 months. Moved cross country together. Almost got married multiple times but things just never lined up perfectly. I was the one who ended things. She had pretty much decided she valued her career (music) over having a family, and I wanted kids. Fantastic person though. I was genuinely happy when I learned she got married a few years ago. I have no doubt I made the right choice by leaving, but I still missed her as a friend.

Cancer at 38 is just insane. I feel horrible for her parents. She was an only child, and her mom was desperate for grandkids when we were together. They never got any.

Life is freaking short bros.

Damn, sorry to hear that. What kind of cancer? **** she's not much older than I am, crazy scary dying so young.

imagine if you did marry her. you would have lost your wife

That's rough, bro. My condolences even though though you were no longer together. Feels are feels.

Yeah man. There is a a world where we got married... I would have lost two siblings, both parents, and my wife within two years. And have had no kids, be 38 years old, and widowed... with no family.

that other world almost sounds like all that stuff happened by design.

Yeah that’s way too early to go. All the plastics and chemicals millennials were exposed to growing up, I bet we start seeing a lot more of this coming up

Appreciate what you have and make the best of it tomorrow it could be gone

Bold part is no joke. She grew up in Flint Michigan and I wonder if the water had a big part to play.

oh damn, no doubt it did

Sorry to hear that bro, was with a girl for 8 yrs. HS sweetheart that I walked away from to later find my wife. Crazy how things work out

Damn that’s sad man

That's awful. To die of cancer at 38??

RIP, I feel soo sorry for her parents.

I'm so sorry for your loss bro...

Never take your wife and kids for granted.
You did the right thing, picking a good woman.

My condolences brah. And fuk cancer.

love you bro (no homo)

She went to heaven, bro. Don't despair.

My condolences . It’s strange as I’ve been hearing about a lot of people succumbing to cancer lately for some reason , brutal .
And to think it could have been cured several times over makes it even worse

I'm sorry man. That's rough.

Sorry to hear about the passing of your friend. That is much to young to pass away from cancer. Cancer tends to be an older persons disease, ones with weaker immune systems.

Yesterday I finished reading a book about how fevers have been found to cure cancers. When a case of spontaneous remission with cancer happens it typically occurs after someone caught an infection and developed a strong fever and no medications were taken to stop the fever.

With cancer most doctors will say that it is not possible for the body to recognize cancer. As a result cancer grows unhindered.

Other doctors say, that is not true, the body can recognize cancer, it just needs to be strengthened in order for it to recognize and attack the cancer cells.

The book was largely a warning about the use of popular medications to stop fevers. These include aspirin/NSAIDs medications. The author who treats cancer patients felt regular use of aspirin/sNSAIDs is causing larger number of people to develop cancer, even in the young. It used to be before aspirin cancer was rare. Now 1 in 2 people can expect to develop cancer.

Arming the Immune System: The Incredible Power of Natural Immunity & the Fever Response

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1778291503...roduct_details

This book is a public service announcement. Discover the power of your natural immunity. Learn why we should allow our bodies to run their intelligent health maintenance programs, including those of the immune system. As they are more effective at eliminating invaders than any military on earth. You will discover that fever is an essential part of the immune response, and is found throughout the animal kingdom. I'm talking hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, lizards, gators, crabs, scorpions, grasshoppers, lobsters, beetles, leeches, snakes, snails, mice, monkeys, fish, ferrets, baboons, and even my beloved bees.

Learn how hard our bodies work to maintain our body temperature, and what happens when our internal thermostat intelligently and purposefully shifts up the heat. The fever response has developed over a very long time, slowly perfecting its orchestral brilliance. I'll share stories of bees who make an effort to fever together, lizards who lounge around trying to get a fever, kids who've had chickenpox longer because they took antipyretic medicines, and, people whose cancer completely disappeared after a fever.

Until the late 1800s, fever was widely considered a healthy sign during disease. This has changed with fever-lowering drugs now the knee-jerk reaction worldwide. When people feel lousy, achy, tired, hot, and miserable, the idea of taking medication and interfering with this process is pretty compelling. They simply want to get rid of the nasty, noxious feeling that comes with fever. But this may not be wise.

We will establish what happens biochemically during an infection and how can we actually use fever therapeutically and harness it for our benefit. This is not a new idea, as fever therapy has been used for a long time, with sometimes incredible results. Like with the malarial fevers used to treat neurosyphilis that won Dr. Julius Wagner-Juaregg the 1927 Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology, and the cancer treatments of Dr. William Coley (who used bacteria) and Dr. Nina Klyuyeva (who used a parasite).

We've really come a long way in our understanding of the immune system in the last few decades. Since the turn of the 21st century, the scientific and medical communities have rapidly accelerated research in this field, with exponential growth since 2000. In 2020 alone, the FDA approved fifteen new immunotherapy treatments.

I'm happy to be sharing this important, age-old knowledge, especially at this time in the world. Inspired by the tireless efforts of the scientific and medical communities, I'm optimistic that this book will help spark conversation and change. Trust the wisdom inherent in your body, arm your immune system, and share the incredible power of the fever response. Because when we honour our bodies, we can be sick less, get better faster, and live healthier lives.

That’s what happened to my wife, stage 4 cancer at 35 years old seemingly out of the blue. But in her case she made full recovery. Very lucky. So far. Life altering experience, with a young baby boy too. God has been good to us. We saw so much suffering, not only hers, but other people’s when going to cancer centers, it’s fookin sad.

Imagine you walk down the hospital hallway and see a 3 year old boy sitting crying, both parents sitting crying next to him. Brain tumor. Fookin poison going inside his body to kill the tumor. Hurts him like hell. You see that sheit daily as you go in for treatment.

Sorry to hear OP.

I've lost a few friends now to cancer as well as my mom and my granddad.

It feels weird though... I'm in the FB group for my school's graduating class and ever year, we're getting updates on either classmates or their spouses with cancer or other life threatening illnesses and it's just a hard reminder of my own mortality... it's a weird juxtaposition because other than the couple of HS reunions we've had, most of the memories of the time we all spent together was back in the late 90's when we thought we were invincible and now time is just picking us off one by one at what feels like a much too soon timeline.

I'm really sorry brother, that's brutal..

My girl passed away a few years ago and it absolutely destroyed me for a long time

I'm finally out of the tough part but it still comes in waves from time to time

The whole thing completely changed me as a person.. for the better I guess

Fkn cancer. Just reading about the musician, Cat Janice, who passed away at 31 from cancer. My classmate died in his mid 30's from cancer. Friend's dad died at 49 from cancer. He was the healthiest guy I knew. Was diagnosed and 3 months later he died.

People have long said lifestyles create cancer, which is really just cope. Sure, it can have a slight increase in risk, but the only people I ever have known to pass from cancer were healthy people without vices. I know a ton of unhealthy people that are old and cancer free. Wish someone could just figure out a cure all from all forms.

donate for cancer research!(when they already have the cure)

Can definitely relate to this. A couple of people from my HS friend group are gone already. Those were drug related, but it still is sad AF.

It's weird bc I'm only like 10 years removed from the age where everyone feels invincible and immortal. At 25, everyone takes every stupid risk and thinks they'll be here forever. By 35, you start getting invited to funerals.Fuark man. Happy for you and the wife that she's made it. Prayers brother.Yep. I mean, there are people who smoke for 50 years and get lung cancer. But that's not what happens for most people. Half of the cancer patients I've known lived healthier than average lives.

Feels man, I'm sorry.

Idk if people are ever the same after losing someone close. I'm losing my parents and siblings made me an entirely different person. I don't think for the better, either.

Sorry to hear catbrah.

I still think about my ex from time to time and it's been over 20 years since we broke up. Don't think I'll ever stop completely tbh.
