Ditto (Seems to sum it up)
Also, it's amazing if you search google for "F*ck cancer t-shirt" how many hits you get. Surprisingly I would not suggest doing that search at work.
I propose a Kickstarter project for "Stab F*cking Cancer in the f*cking Face: The Videogame"
Aw man... this news, along with the fact that my dad had surgery last night, that found some cancer in his colon, makes me totally want to scream:
f*ck CANCER!
There are lots of great support groups out there, in addition to GWJ. Check out Cancer Forums. Very knowledgeable, kind people there, and they've helped me out a lot in my own fight.
We're here for you, Ian.
Sorry to hear about your father, MoonDragon. We're here for you too.
^ What they all said.
Go kick its ass and we'll be here supporting you as best we can.
Hope you f*ck your cancer up for many long years to come.
You have my best wishes and positive vibes for your safe passage through this trial. The collective is pulling for you!
I lost my 3 favouritest relatives to cancer. But I can't imagine who terrifying this would be living in a country where you could "not have medical insurance". Hit us up with you paypal details and I'll throw as much as I can in the pot.
Man, sh*t.
Here's some inspiration:
We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender
I've been moved by the love and generosity here before, but being on the other end of it is unreal.
Isn't it?
We're all here for you, hun. Show that cancer who's boss!
Man, sh*t.
Here's some inspiration:

Heh, I was going to put that very quote here.
Man, sh*t.
Here's some inspiration:
if about cancer Winston Churchill would have wrote:We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in the colon, we shall fight in the stomachs and breasts, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in all the vital organs, we shall defend our bodies, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight in the skin, we shall fight in the liver, we shall fight in the cervixes and in the testes, we shall fight in the brain; we shall never surrender
FTFY
Good luck, Ian.
Might I recommend LiveStrong as a starting point for resources.
Man, sh*t.

Short version:
Never give up, never surrender!
I'm glad to hear you've got some good options for information and support both for you and your folks.
I hope the learning process starts to give you that battle plan you'll need.
ian, just wanted to throw in my support too, and give you a big (((((((hug)))))). You have a terrific attitude and your sense of humor will help get you through this and kick your cancer's ass. I'm glad you're going to be asking a lot of questions of your doctors, I know there are newer treatment programs that can be beneficial. Recently an acquaintance of mine opted for a newer regiment of chemo that did the job with a lot less side effects and in a shorter amount of time. I'm sorry I don't know the details (I will try to find out more about it and post here) but the point is, ask a lot of questions about treatment regiments. I'm sending you lots of love, and if I can help at all financially, I'm looking forward to you giving us that opportunity. I've recommended chipin as a good method, I'm sure there are others. I'm doubly moved by the generosity of GWJ, having been on the receiving end myself, all I can say on that subject is embrace it and let us help you ... go ahead and feel the love, it's real. Stay strong, and keep laughing.
MoonDragon, my same sentiments go out to you, and another big ((((((hug)))))). I hope your father kicks his cancer's ass too!
You can take out the funds anytime, you don't have to wait until the end of the campaign. But there is a $500 limit on transfers per month, now I can't remember if that's a paypal limit or a chipin limit. Maybe Hilary can clear that up.
*edit: that must be a paypal limit, Reading the ChipIn site reminded me that the money donated goes directly to your paypal account.
Chipped in, good luck.
And please include US healthcare in a sideways-f*cking threesome with cancer.
Good luck with raising the necessary funds.
ian, this is crazy news and I wish you luck and strength, but I must say with statements like this
Ah, Churchill. All up in my bowels.
you seem to have the best possible attitude to a tough situation.
"You've got a cancer, and this is crazy, but get its number and punch its face in."
[size=6]Sorry, had to be done. :>[/size]
Good thoughts your way man.
This is crazy. Best of luck to you, ian.
Sending good thoughts your way.
Chipped in. Keep up the great attitude while we keep sending the positive vibes.
