Don't be crazy

I think I'm gonna try harder to stop smoking

@Hector why do you think her rate of survival is good?

All this cancer talk is spooky

I feel like Canadian doctors are prob better than south american doctors tbh

nah, the spoopy bit is that Cancer is genetic

wait actually... none of her parents had stomach cancer

Really

which is the really odd bit

so I am thinking it was caused by an ulcer

Cancer can happen to anyone

Cancer is caused by environmental factors as much as genetics and inhaling carcinogens cant help at all

nah my mom doesn't smoke

she had a stomach ulcer that was operated in May

That must be a special type of cancer then. Most cancers are almost entirely environmental

but they never found any cancer

I was referring to my need to stop smoking but yeah I know

I googled the survival rates. From what I can tell, she is not stage 1, but her survival rate is probably 60% or higher if she ovary tumors are not cancerous which probably says a lot about the cancer.

Or I didn't know she wasn't a smoker I just assumed smoking wasn't related to stomach cancer

i was told that there's a possibility i'd develop the same stomach cancer too

there are lots of things which cause cancer

some of it is caused by a virus or bacteria

which is why cancer has never been cured

it is a catch all term

and because of how it spreads it probably can't be cured

Faith is really important for times like this. I won't quote any studies, but people need something to anchor to this reality.

at best it will become something like Diabetes

which can be managed with drugs and treatment

I'm a biology major. I know about cancer. Her chances are pretty good, my guy.

hey if you say so dude

yes, you must find strength in something and transfer it to your mum

what about with no treatment?

I heard life expectancy was like a year or two

@Banjod quit posting on chan<:goldpill:626276664837537833> <:varg:552804477590044674>

and with treatment it could be like 5 years

Is that lymphoma then

I don't think she has lymphoma

Non hodgkins

Are they treating her with anything? If they just want a surgery, that says a lot. Her odds are good.

but Lymphoma is a type of cancer

That's the one with the highest probability of overcoming the disease
