    Yep, agreed. I've seen a few people go through chemo. Every time I wonder if its worth it.

    Grandpa got colon cancer and they cut it out. Was strong armed by my grandmother to get chemo (due to her success after her breast cancer even though it laid her out for years after the fact) it was the chemo that actually killed him. A rare side effect, but it started crystallizing his lungs and when he finally passed the final xray showed the bottom 1/3rd of his lungs were rock solid.

    Cancer sucks and if I live long enough to get it and cutting it out doesn't take care of it, imma just let it kill me

    Fuck sorry to hear.

    I know you were close to your grandparents.

    Colon cancer is exactly what my friend had; cut it out but what finally took his life was a bad infection he developed after the surgery.

    Never made it to chemo.

    I think I'd pick up a solo backpacking hobby and head for the woods. Or a gasoline fight hobby.

    I remember you talking about your friend, that's a nice obituary.. sorry he was taken so quickly.

    My lineage has a strong predisposition to colon cancer on both sides of the family, if I live long enough that the inevitable adult onset diabetes doesn't take me, I'm almost guaranteed to get it lol.

    Yeah, I was like..'well there's one guy, but the company fired him during Covid leaving me the sole person in this department.."

    both of them shook their heads like, no fucking way we can't bring him back in, lol

    I highly doubt he'd want to anyway

    And any random person would take a week just to learn all the fucked up nuances of this place, so the idea just isn't a very good one

    yeah, sounds like they're in a tough spot for sure. It sucks that they're putting pressure on you but don't let it become your problem

    It will be good though to get some family time in either way, even if it wasn't how we planned it originally.

    how's that saying go about the best laid plans of mice and men or something...
