#the cancer was inoperable

[starryarles]

my aunt passed away today

#2 years ago she found out she had cervical cancer and it was pretty bad #spread to the surrounding tissue #she was so scared #she stopped talking to people slowly #and eventually stopped hanging out with her friends #only had her man to help out and bless him he was so good to her #he did everything for her and took time off of work for her #i always had strange feelings about him because when they met he was with his ex wife and ended up leaving her for my aunt #but then he was so good to my aunt and generally seemed like a really nice man #he was her only thing holding her sanity down #she lives in serbia #we live down here #she would viist us every summer #she couldn't last year #so we visited her in august #when we went over she said she had not left her apartment in 2 months besides going to the hospital #at that point her kidneys had started shutting down and he had to have a catethers in #we went to a restaurant with her #i remember not talking much to her and she didn't engage with me #she was just glad to be talking to my mom #because they're cousins but they were raised like they were sisters #and she cried so much while we were there #she said she was happy to see us #but that it felt like we were only there to see her one last time #we told her so many times how we were planning on seeing her the next summer back down in my granpas garden with us #how we're just stopping by because we missed her and not as a goodbye #she talked about how she was so scared of dying but suicide seemed like her only way out #the cancer was inoperable #chemo and radiation did nothing beside fry her body #she was miserable

Jesse pretending he had a greg house moment deducing the ricin poisoning and then almost a season later actually having a greg house moment when he can’t find his joint and everything with the ricin cigarette actually falls into place and he walks out of the (metaphorical) room post-epiphany 😑

#breaking bad #house md #other commonalities in the shows: both involve inoperable lung cancer. both reference stephen colbert. both involve someone faking #their death and switching the dental records to prove it.

BTW i saw the trailer for the new saw movie cos my brother told me about it...it actually looks decent?? like a REAL SAW MOVIE in this day and age??? of course i was fooled by the welcome to raccoon city trailer, but saw X looks like a saw movie. little confused by the premise being. i think john just putting Anyone who was involved in his cancer treatment in a trap? but whatever peepaw wants to do. they're keeping the early john kramer energy of trapping anyone who mildly inconveniences him

#🔆 #my brother did tell me it's a reboot and it seems like it might be. retconning the entire timeline? or at least most of it? #because in the origs john's cancer was never treated (i think he was told it was inoperable...) #(which is technically expanded on in jigsaw but we pretend jigsaw doesn't exist.) #technically he had it sort of treated in saw 3 but idk if you can really call that treating it. it just minimized his pain. #but anyway i couldn't even tell if the traps were CGI so i think they might be practical!? HYPEEE??? #it's possible they're going the route of the originals where it's basically entirely practical but they use CGI where it's necessary #BUT GUESS WHAT!!! MANDY WAS THERE!!! i actually gasped seeing the reveal at the end of the trailer. my queen. #it's coming out in september i'm gonna ask me husband if we can go see it....👉👈 #the mere concept of getting to experience a possible real saw movie in theaters has me so excited 😭😭😭

Trigger warnings for Major Character Death, Cancer (nothing graphic at all)

Prompt - Bruce has incurable (by normal medical standards) brain or whatever cancer.........AND GO!!!

LEGACY

When Bruce let the family know his  diagnosis - inoperable brain cancer - he wasn't surprised by their reactions. Dick immediately contacted Superman. "He's your best friend and has x-ray vision. Maybe he can see what normal medical imaging can't and zap the cancer out." Tim contacted Michael Holt, aka Mr. Terrific, at S.T.A.R. Labs. Jason contacted Kori to see about using her old ship's healing chamber. Duke contacted Jefferson Pierce, to see if perhaps his ex-wife, Dr. Lynn Stewart, a neuroscientist, could help. Stephanie contacted her mom, a nurse at Gotham General. And of course, Damian contacted Talia.

"No Lazarus Pit."

"But Father, it will heal you. You aren't dead, so the...side effects...would be minimal, and certainly preferable to the alternative."

"No."

Cass made a call too. She left the room, and Bruce figured she just needed time. He'd wait a bit to go check on her.

While talking to Clark, who was nearly in tears, "There's nothing even I can do, Bruce. I'm sorry," he saw Cass return.

With Harley Quinn.

Cass motioned for everyone to leave the room, and Alfred suggested sandwiches in the kitchen. He figured no one would eat, but maybe it would give them a distraction.

"Hey, Bruce. Cass told me what was up. She thought maybe you'd want to talk to someone. I know I'm not a doctor any more, but I still have all the knowledge, and it's not like you're a traditional guy anyway, so how about we sit and chat a bit."

"Harley, I...thank you." He motioned for her to sit on the sofa and then sat next to her. "I already know about the whole stages of grief thing. I did the anger and bargaining and all that already. I've accepted this. You might be better off talking to the kids."

"You've cheated death a bazillion times, Bruce. You always find a way. Your SuperBestie is like the embodiment of hope. Are you sure you've really accepted this?"

"Yes. I see my legacy, Harley, and I'm proud. So proud of it. I see these kids who have grown so much. They're all heroes themselves, and they'll lead the next generation to be even better than this one. I've even helped a few former villains turn their lives around and become heroes." Harley blushed. "The Wayne Foundation is stronger and helping more people than ever. If this is where my story ends, I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm not sure I could do any better if I lived a hundred more years. Or a thousand."

"What about your kids?"

Bruce laughed. "They've had to deal with my death before. They have each other, their friends, and I'm sure you'll be there for them too, if they need it."

"Absolutely."

"Thank you."

"What about grandkids? Your kids are all gorgeous and most of them are over 18 now. They'll start gettin' hitched and having little ones soon. You'll miss seeing that."

Bruce got serious. "That will be my biggest regret."

Ivy put her hand on top of Bruce's. "Well I promise Auntie Harley will tell them all about their Grandpa Bruce and how he saved her and so many others. And I'll keep an eye on the kids too."

"Please do. Dick will try to hide his pain caring for the others. He'll try to do too much. I think I worry about him more than the others even. Duke has already essentially lost his parents, so he may feel some abandonment issues. Tim will try to pull away from his friends when he needs them the most. Jason and Damian will be angry, and they don't think straight when they're angry. Cass, I actually worry about the least. Her and Steph will have each other's backs. And Barbara too. Is it weird the women will probably deal with this better?"

"Not really. Men have such a societal stigma about asking for and accepting help.  With women, since we're seen as weaker," Harley rolled her eyes in disgust, "it's deemed ok for us to ask for help."

Bruce thought for a bit. "If people had seen the women I've seen, they wouldn't think that way."

"Well, you're kinda a magnet for strong women. Speaking of which, have you talked to Selina yet?"

"Yes. Earlier today. Right before I told the kids. She's on her way."

"Do you have your diagnosis info from your doctor? I'd like to see it, if that's ok. Psychiatrists get a lot of neurological training too, so I know my way around the human brain. Kinda nice to be looking at it from this aspect rather than just bashing them in, ya know?"

Bruce smiled and handed her the folder. She looked it over for a few minutes.

"Well, the good news is the location might be unlucky in that's it's too hard to get to to be operable, but you should keep your mental faculties right up to the end. I'm sure that's a pretty big deal for you."

"Yes, it is. The neuro-oncologist told me as much, but it's still nice to get a second opinion."

"So, you're definitely not looking for options? It's not like you don't have access to a lot of super smart people, literally. Plus the best medical science can offer, not to mention aliens and magic and all that."

"I don't want false hope. Not for me or the kids. As you said before, I've cheated death too many times. It's my time."

"I guess there's not much more to say then. At least now, but if you do want to talk more, you can call me anytime."

Bruce stood up and Harley followed. He hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Harley."

---------------------------------------------

Five weeks later, Bruce went to sleep and never woke up. He never really lost his cognitive functions, something that everyone was grateful for. He was buried a few days later, on a perfect fall day, in the family plot next to his parents.

Cass had already taken over as the new Batman with Stephanie as her Robin, with an updated suit. A few villains laughed at first, but that didn't last long, and word soon got around that the new dynamic duo was not to be messed with.

Dick had indeed tried to take too much on himself, but Wally and Donna were there to knock some sense into him. Apparently they knocked enough sense into him that he proposed to Barbara, and they were married, and pregnant, a few months later.

Tim went to San Francisco and lived at Titans Tower full time with plans on being there by himself. Kon, Cassie, and Bart, made sure that didn't happen, even when he screamed at them to leave him alone. (He was very glad they didn't listen.) With his friends' and the family's permission, he told Bernard who he really was, and Bernard moved to the Tower a few months later. He turned out to be a pretty good Oracle for them, and eventually took the name Knightwatch.

Jefferson and Katana had gotten married and moved to Gotham. Duke moved in with them and continued as Gotham's daytime protector. He still spent a lot of time at the Manor.

Roy asked Jason to help him find Lian, which turned out to be a great distraction for him. Both Artemises joined them, the younger going by Tigress now. Jason and his Artemis eventually got together, shortly after they rescued Lian.

Damian took a while before he could go back out in costume. He wasn't doing well and tried staying in Metropolis with the Kents, but that seemed to make his anger worse. He knew going to his mother right now would be a terrible idea, and finally it was Conner that suggested a plan.

"Go to Smallville. I'm not there as much to help Ma and Pa out, and if you're working on the farm, you'll be too busy and too tired for anger. Trust me on this one."

So Damian stayed with the elder Kents for six months. After a rough settling in period, the arrangement worked out well for everyone. He found a lot of joy working with the animals especially, and started looking into veterinary schools for the future.

Alfred had lost a lot and it weighed heavily on him, but as soon as he found out Dick and Barbara were going to have a child, it was as if he'd gotten twenty years younger.

Selina and Talia bonded over their grief, and Selina ended up going to Nanda Parbat to help Talia run the League. It had never been more efficient.

When the Joker heard about Bruce Wayne's death on the news, knowing exactly who Bruce really was, he left Gotham and was never heard from again.

Harley Quinn started up a group called The Reformed with Ivy, Kite Man, Clayface, and King Shark. Mr. Freeze, the Riddler, and Bane joined them a few months later. They helped out with keeping Gotham safe, day and night. Harley tried to get them to wear matching outfits, but had to settle for everyone wearing a "B" (like the Robin "R") on their assorted suits. She stopped by Bruce's grave frequently to tell him of their adventures.

#ra apeaks #personal #cancer mention #it’s been a long couple of days and I’m stressing myself out over a weird hard lump just above my shoulder blade #partially bc im just stupid and overthink everything and also bc #my two cousins on my moms side both have concerning tumors. one is an inoperable brain tumor and the other might be breast cancer. #and idk im just stressing bc I just noticed this lump that’s definitely not a swollen lymph node #and definitely not a muscle cramp and it’s just like ughhhhh my primary dr is 4 hrs away :/ I don’t have time for this #imma keep an eye on it. see if it grows or shrinks. i just don’t like how close it is to my spine #especially since I’ve been very sensitive to how i position my arms gives me pins and needles

No one really talks about how the first period you have after fully coming off birth control will absolutely fuck you up

#haven’t freeballed my period since april and oh my GOD how have i put up with this for fifteen years #and i have probably close to 30 to go??? 😵‍💫 #maybe i should rethink my stance on not wanting to be sterilised. like on the one hand i don’t want to have an unnecessary surgery #and i don’t trust doctors to give a fuck about whether they’re doing the surgery correctly or not #And i know someone who has inoperable stage 4 blood cancer because they left tissue behind when she had a hysterectomy #however. howwwwever. never having a period again? it is a compelling thought i won’t lie #i need to get my blood pressure to shoot through the floor so i can take microgynon again. i mean i’m 90% sure it was only so high because #i wasn’t moving my body because i was recovering from a knee injury. i have been moving more & i don’t eat as much salt now #i’ve cut crisps out of my diet and i don’t add salt to my food. please clap. i’m miserable #(i still eat food that has salt in it because cutting it out 100% is dangerous but like. i stay under 5 grams a day easily) #gotta get back on microgynon so that i won’t want to kay em ess once a month lol. or get put on antidepressants? #the thing about it is that every female doctor at my local surgery has gone on sabbatical for what i’m sure are fairly valid reasons #so there are just two male doctors now. and nurses and a pharmacist who can vaccinate you and do basic stuff #so i’d have to tell a man about my female hysteria and i’m sorry but i think i’d rather just let the thoughts take me #like does anyone have experience of telling a male doctor about EXTREME pms and him actually caring/doing anything #i’m not even going to bother mentioning the pain because i know even a woman doctor would just say it’s normal #but i need to do something because this… this can’t run. i can’t function if 1/4 of the time i want to die #personal

The emotional side of the treatment I was not prepared for

The emotional side of the treatment I was not prepared for

By Natalie Brown, as told to Kendall Morgan When I was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer at age 33, I had to make many tough decisions quickly, including whether to freeze my eggs before treatment began or not be able to have children. We decided to proceed with the treatment immediately. At the beginning of the treatment I felt terrible. I was exhausted and there was little I could do. It took…

My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a few weeks ago. It's inoperable and she's too weak for chemo. They're doing some other treatment I don't understand, but it doesn't sound like it'll do anything other than delay the inevitable. I have a very good relationship with my mom, and while I've been trying to distract myself, the thought I'll be losing her in the near future has been affecting me a lot. Please forgive me if I happen to lash out or otherwise become emotional while I'm dealing with this.

[heavensmortuary]

my mom's best friend has just been diagnosed with inoperable cancer. please pray for her. she might not even live to even see her son graduate this year.

please pray for my mom, she's grieving

Palestine news summary from Lets Talk Palestine.

[For more information, links, and ways to help check their LinkTree linktr.ee/letstalkpalestine]

April 22 and April 23, 2024.

April 22. Day 199.

• 54 Palestinians killed, 104 injured in Gaza as Israel commits 6 massacres in the last 24 hours

🏥 283+ bodies found deliberately hidden by Israeli army across 4 mass graves in Nasser Hospital following Israel’s brutal siege

• 3 Palestinians, incl. 19-year-old & elderly woman, shot by IOF as they opened fire on cars on a highway in West Bank

🍞 4 bakeries resume production in north Gaza after 170 days of being inoperable

🔻 Hamas claims strike on group of IOF soldiers & military bulldozer + sniped IOF soldier in north Gaza

🦠 700,000 Palestinians affected by unprecedented spread of infectious diseases in north Gaza

🇺🇸 Universities crackdown + authorize police to arrest dozens of students protesting at Columbia & Yale to divest from companies profiting off the genocide in Gaza; sparking similar protests across US campuses

• Leader of Tulkarem Brigades (local resistance group) resurfaces after claims he was killed during Israel’s 3-day raid of Nur Shams camp in West Bank.

April 23. Day 200.

200 Days of Genocide, Instagram Link.

Day 200 - what happened today in Gaza

‼️ Today marks 200 days of genocide. Over 34,000 Palestinians have been killed with the real number including the thousands missing, buried under rubble, estimated to be over 42,000, including 15,000+ children and 10,000+ women.

🏥 310 bodies uncovered in mass graves at Nasser Hospital; many found handcuffed, shot in the head, wearing prisoner's uniforms, or stripped of their clothes.

• 3 Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrike on residential building in "safe zone" Rafah.

• IOF naval ships attack Gaza's coasts, targeting Deir el-Balah, Nuseirat camp & az-Zawayda.

🚚 310 aid trucks entered Gaza yesterday, the most since Oct 7, but still far below the expected 500 per day.

🏥 Israeli forces turn Gaza’s only specialized cancer hospital into a military base, while only 11/35 hospitals remain partially functioning.

[Magz note: partially functioning hospitals in this case means having basic medical treatment available, medical staff, and being way over capacity unable to treat many of the patients. It has been previously noted that multiple hospitals in Gaza have long since lack anesthesia for example, and have to use basic painkillers like ibuprofen if any.]

• IOF continuously bomb Beit Lahia (north Gaza) after ordering evacuation of 50,000 Palestinians despite nowhere safe to go.

WIBTA for telling my brothers that their dad is dying?

TW for child abuse, death, and cancer.

I have a lot of siblings, but the only two I talk to anymore are two of my half brothers (R and K. R is 13 and K is 19, I am 26). They share the same dad, while the rest of my siblings either share my dad or were adopted by my dad. The three of us share the same mom while the rest of my siblings do not. This is semi important information (it might not be but it seemed relevant).

Growing up, their dad abused the three of us and our mom. He was a chain smoker and an alcoholic who would hit us, throw things at us, scream at us, chase us, stolen from us, and he's been sexually inappropriate with me on a few occasions. So needless to say, I dislike this man a lot.

I was talking to my mom today about her financial issues. Their dad (T) was not paying her child support. I asked why and she said that T works a summer job, he doesn't get paid in the off season. I said "well, why doesn't he just get another job? He's qualified for quite a bit and he's still young enough" and my mom said "it won't matter since he's not gonna be around for much longer". That threw me off guard, and I asked her what that meant and she told me he had lung cancer. It's inoperable and the doctors said it's bad enough to where he could go from stage 1 to stage 5 in a matter of weeks. That's all the information she told me, I don't know anything more than that about it.

She told me that he hasn't been seeing the boys at all lately. He's just stopped spending time with them. She told me he hasn't told them about it, and that he told her not to tell them either.

Now I'm sitting here thinking that, they deserve to be told that their dad is literally dying? And could be dead any day now? Especially since he's denying them the opportunity to spend time with him before he goes. He's a piece of shit, but they love him and they did everything they could to let him have a second chance at being their dad. And I feel like he's wasting it on feeling bad for himself, instead of showing the boys that he actually like, cares about and loves them if he even does.

Im considering giving her an ultimatum, that one of the OTHER adults in this situation needs to be the one to tell them because they deserve to know, K is especially old enough to understand what's going on. Or I'm gonna do it for her. If she wants to force their dad to tell them, fine. If she wants to tell them herself, fine. But if neither of them do it, I want to tell them. Because I would want someone to tell me if my dad was dying. My dad abandoned me for 18 years but after I met him, I still loved him, even if he was an asshole a lot of the time. I would want someone to tell me.

But part of me still feels like this... Isn't my place to say. That it's not my fight to be putting into, that I shouldn't be the one to tell them. It's not my battle. But it's still my family. A family I care deeply about. And I'm just especially worried about K.

So WIBTA if I told them their dad is dying?

What are these acronyms?
