Dad's was originally prostate cancer with a 9/10 on the aggressiveness measure. It has spread to his bones and some other areas. He had to have surgery on his prostate to remove some cancer tumors and cells so he could empty his bladder fully. Getting horomone therapy shots to stop his testosterone levels, but they don't appear to be working; his PSA level is still really high. Now just taking 4 chemo pills a day. Nothing they can do now. :( He's 51.

Grandmother (mom's side) has lung cancer from smoking. Doing IV chemo. Doing better now. Has her good days and bad days. But the doctors told her this cancer will kill her but it's fairly recent, like maybe August was when it first developed. Some tumors and areas are starting to shrink and go away. That's hopeful. She's 71.

Oh, and my mom went into respiratory failure last February and almost died. She's 50.

2020 was one hell of a year, guys... Oh, and my Dad's prostate cancer is some rare mutation and it's genetic... So yay for me and my brother. And it recently killed my Dad's dad.

Awful, man... I'm so depressed.

I got a gallon of wine in the fridge.

I don't like ice cream.

I lost both my grandfather's to it. My mother was very unexpectedly diagnosed with it mid 2019. She is still alive and somehow caught covid and lived. My father caught covid and died though.
