I'm sorry for your loss
Castor, may your father rest in peace. You can never replace the loss of a loved one, you will just have to learn to live on and remember the good times and memories with the person and keep those close to your heart. And one day, you'll make it through.
Pwolf, quiet a family history there, hopefully you won't catch anything. Glad that everyone seems to be fine now though

Thank you and I'm sorry to hear,
McDirty. Liver cancer is hell, since it is - from what I know - so far incureable.
To be optimistic and have a positiv out-look helps a great amount to deal with the illness, I used to joke about it everytime it was brought up too, but now after I relapsed - I started to look at it more seriously, and only joke it off if I think it takes too big part of a conversation say around the dinner-table or so. But your friend was a tough fighter, and I hope he'll rest in peace. It really is a hard seat to be in as a patient, because people around you will look at you differently after they hear you're ill. I guess joking and not seeming to care much for it is a way for us to get away from the fact that we are ill and may be treated indifferently. I know I did that, this time however, I've choosen to be honest with myself - but not be miserable
Tritio, my man, I cannot even imagine how hard it must be for you to leave such a life-changing message to your patients.
I am also very glad that you are dedicating your life to this, and I will always be thankful for what you and all the people in the department does for us suffering from the illness. Also, I hope you yourself never have to suffer from any more tumors or radiation.
Thank you all for responing. I think it is, in a way, nice to hear other peoples stories.
It in a way gives me some strength I guess, hehe.
Anyone else with a story to share, please do. It will be read, I garanteu you that much.
