Bone Cancer = bad, bad shit

The fact that they are not removing the rib that its in leads me to believe that it may be more serious than they are letting on.

We were diagnosed with our cancers at virtually the same time back in November of 2004. This news ****ing ruined my day.
HOW DARE YOU!!!!

I've come to the conclusion that everyone in this thread and the Edwards thread is a moron.

That's probably true myself included.

What I find interesting is that I say "Karma?" and the rightwingers come out of the woodwork and are outraged. But when the president and his administration lies, does bad things, etc.. they are quiet as a mouse.
 
Jesus Christ, let's all just stop talking. Each one of us. This thread needs to be closed before it gets any stupider.

You make me sick Maynerd.

That was a very unnecessary comment.

Says the man who condones torture.

Is sleep depravation torture?

How about playing loud music for 24 to 48 hours?

What about stripping down combatants and humiliating them? Torture?

People here act as if he signed a bill authorizing the pulling off of fingernails and the cutting off of fingers.

Overreact much?

Whiteman I'm not sure what being a cock is...so if this falls under that I'm sorry let me know and I'll remove this post. I just wanted to respond to cooter who says I make him sick.
 
That's the best you have? I say I'm ok with keeping suspected terrorists up for 2 days and that somehow is equal to hinting that a press secretary deserves cancer.


Maybe in your world.

I have to get ready for work. Goodbye to this thread forever.....
 
Even though I hate the chronic lying/weaseling of Tony Snow, I rather have him rotting in a prison somewhere than dying from cancer. Such is life.
 
Dr. Otis Brawley, an oncology professor at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, said that Snow may not be able to return to work if the colon cancer has spread to his liver.

The press secretary likely will have to undergo chemotherapy or a debilitating radiation treatment, and though he may be able to return to work during therapy, Brawley said that "this condition frequently is usually fatal."

Brawley said he couldn't speak directly to Snow's situation, but when colon cancer spreads to someone's liver, only about 5 percent to 10 percent of patients "do well."

CNN

I'm not saying that she doesn't know what she's talking about. But, just by my own experience, Emory isn't a bastion cancer reasearch. A couple of articles I've read on MD Anderson's website do not mesh with her statement.
 
The problem is dependent on how long it was in the liver and if it had time to spread to the lymph nodes. If so, that's not good at all, it's what took my dad.
 
My father had colon cancer that spread to the liver and eventually the lungs. After discovering that his liver cancer was inoperable, they gave him about 5% chance of living a year. He lived for about 3 more years after that, but that was with intense chemo. So Snow is in a very serious situation, regardless.

This thread and everyone in it disgusts me. Condolences to Mister Snow, coming from someone who has seen what cancer does to loved ones.

28 posts before I read the smartest comment in this thread...finally there's someone in here who has a little respect for the most devastating news anyone can ever hear. Some of you people are ****ing disgusting and sicken me for making jokes about someone having cancer and deserving it. Because he is doing his job or because he has a different political view means he deserves to suffer for years as his family watch his slowly die?

I've also seen first-hand what cancer does to someone and their families, and it is something that I would never wish on anyone. My Dad died recently after three years of throat cancer. But of course most of you ignorant little assholes are so selfish and self-centred that you couldn't possibly understand what cancer actually does to people. Instead you just make jokes about it and how he deserves it because he does his job

And before I get accused of defending him or some other ridiculous political bullshit, let me remind all of you that I'm not American. I don't care at all about American politics and, therefore, you'll have to try a little harder if anyone chooses to respond to this message

Actually what I "implied" was that sometimes bad things happen to people who do bad things. On top of that I put a '?' so it was a question asking is this bad thing the result of someone doing bad things? I don't wish this on him, he's an asshole but he doesn't deserve cancer.

Nice backpeddling.

The argument is so illogical ... I find it hard to believe that this was your intent.

Since you know what was in my head why don't you tell me what my intent was.
 
It's unbelievable how gutless and pathetic some of you people here on GAF are. Well at least many of you have shown your true colors.
 
I give up. Don't hold it against me that I don't quite know who to ban. . .this discussion started on the wrong foot and it's not going to get back on track.

If you people want to give it a second shot, and keep the jackassery out of it, give it a shot. This thread was DOA.
