I had 2 of my football coach friends pass away yesterday from cancer. Jody was in his early 40's. He battled throat cancer for close to 3 years. He didn't smoke or drink. He left behind a wife and 4 young kids. One of the best coaches I ever worked with. Even when he lost his voice, he was still coaching. Inspired a lot of people.
Bryan was county sheriff as well as a coach. He was diagnosed this fall with colon cancer. Only in his mid 40's.
My ex wife and mother of my kids was just diagnosed with breast cancer. She’s a wonderful person and a great mom. Fuck cancer.
I am not a fan of cancer either.
Cancer fucking sucks. It's not fair.
This was an amazing gut check within the same week and I agree with everyone hear that Cancer is horrible, even when caught in it's early stage!!
Again, sorry for your loss!
devastated....4 kids...mid 20s to low 30's.....never drank...never smoked...very clean living...very fit guy, big frame and always in shape...he's the last guy you would think that would get this.
The kicker....no health insurance....is family did a "Go Fund Me" which they are using for alternative treatments. He's opted out chemo. He's on an all raw food vegan diet, drinks breast milk from donors.....take cannabis oil, direct vitamin C treatments, and Ozone O3 therapy.
Pisses me off even more hearing my wife's uncle talk about his "neural network" research and how some groundbreaking early-cancer-detection stuff is actually available and presented non-stop across the globe, but when it gets to the actually nuts and bolts, gets shot down by Big Pharm.
I'm no conspiracy theorist, and sorry of this is a bit of a hijacking, but holy CHRIST, I have such a horrible hatred for pharm companies and what they've become. They're not about helping people ... not in the slightest.
