speaking of 'f*ck cancer' (positive, really. And I know, we weren't speaking of cancer)

GBCK

guess whose mom is one of the speakers at a big lunchon thing for cancer survivors today?

Yep, Doc thought that mom's experiences--especially the struggle w/ meds and all that, was something that folks still dealing w/ needed to hear--esp. since, you know, it's 'ended well'.

(did you know you can't put f -vee-c-k cancer in the subject?  yep)

That's great!

Yay for your mom.  Hopefully this will help at least one person.

Awesome!! Good for your mom.

And yes, f*ck cancer.

And 'v' can no longer be used to replace 'u' in f-u-c-k

I want to know why TK can block sh-ii-t and f-v-ck, but can't get everything else straight.

That's really awesome for your mom.  I'm glad she's a survivor.  I know that's a huge thing.

Yay for your mom!   That's awesome. 

And, yes, f--k cancer.   One of my favorite aunts (I have 22) was just diagnosed with brain and lung cancers.   Obviously, the prognosis is not good.  Another aunt died last week of cancer.

Wow, that's awesome.  I hope someone can be helped with her input.

Fuq cancer, for real. I'm a cancer research nurse at a clinic that does phase 1 clinical trials only, so I know soooo well that cancer sucks it hard.

mom did clinical trial for part of hers--they were testing length/# of certain treatments.  (she was in the longer/more treatment group)

Turns out she probably would have been better off w/ fewer/less agressive treatments (since she reacted badly to treatments)...but, she gets a 'the more you know' theme for being in the trial I guess.

Yeah, that was probably a phase 1 then. We determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in humans.
