I'm so very sorry to hear that. My best friend died lately to a similar condition...

We all love you though, here on NG! <3

Well, I failed my Pre-Calculus quiz and I have a large project to do in the sum of 4 hours, but your story definitely trumps mine.

Not to be too invasive, but what type of cancer did she have? Cancer happens for many reasons, be it eating too many hot dogs in your life to living near a nuclear power plant, but drugs and the pharmaceutical companies are not the only factor in the deterioration of your mom's health.

I hope she lived a happy and fufilled life and I hope you do too.

I am sorry for you loss

and may your faith in society continue to dwindle

Thundaboom 2010-09-23 19:53:48

oh, sorry about that.

Hi, you,

sorry to see your news. Saw your post on the Front Page.

My brother died of cancer last month, so I kinda connect there. I too am suspicious of modern medicine. It is entirely possible that my borther could have lived for years if his tongue cancer had been left alone instead of having an operation to cut it out that failed and probably spread it.

All the millions that is spent on proprietory 'cures'- if a fraction of it were spent on preventative research we might be in a better place with cancer. Read Barry Groves' book- Trick and Treat if you get curious to know what I mean.

For now, you just have to go along with things and somehow it will begin to get better. The only advice I can give you is to smile when you can. I am sure your mother would not have wanted you to be sad forever.

PM me any time you want to talk. I am a Dragon/Spirit- its what we do.

Best Wishes,

IceD

ifailtestsnot 2010-09-23 20:47:03

VidGameDude 2010-09-23 20:47:15

my condolences to your mother.

LongLongCat 2010-09-23 21:16:19

I am so sorry. .... I somehow believe that it's still better than suffering by cancer for a few more years.

Tyler 2010-09-23 21:37:21

:( sorry to hear

soulhunterx9 2010-09-23 21:39:02

I just have to say that i saw your post on the front page and i hope you will feel better. I have had family members die due to similar causes and it is not an easy thing to get through, and i cannot imagine what it must be like with someone you were so close to. I hope you do get better

Zero863 2010-09-23 23:49:08

I can't really say I know you, or that I've ever met you....

but when rummaging around on Newgrounds, finding this post was the last thing I expected. I read your article, and read some of the responses. "That sucks" well no duh really.

A death isn't something that is easy to get by, nor is it easy to talk about, but again, no duh. That's because of our society and how we play off death as taboo.

I can't tell you how to run your life, again this is my first post on your page, ever. What I can say is that I know exactly 100% how you feel, and how wrong life seems right now, but again, that's society teaching you that death is horrible.

Is it so? Do not get me wrong, i'm not saying celebrate, but after 14 years of battle, your mother has passed on. Is it for the better? I'm not one to say, that's up to you really. Your mother battled long and hard obviously, and there's no easy way of saying "thank god it's over" but in the end, that's all one can do.

Death is horrible, again thanks to society. If I can give advice, coming from a person who has experienced the exact same....well...situation one would say, that you have gone through, your mother was most likely a kind person, who didn't waste any day. That's how you should think, but again, I can't tell you how to live your life.

You were brave to put this up on the internet, newgrounds alone really, but your statement is true and bold. Perhaps it was the pill that she was taking, or perhaps it was a horrible cellular mutation that humans receive, but what's the worst is not knowing how it started. In the end, who cares on how it started, it was there, and your mother lived through it as long as she could. Please, don't cast down society for what happened, it wasn't society's fault, nor was it your mother's fault.

I hope i'm not overbearing in this message, again I was just skimming on newgrounds and saw this post....and just felt that I should say something. Having a person who understands the exact pain can help, but what helps more is a person who lived through it, and learned, and you will too. Life is too short to stay angry, live like your mother, in either remembrance, or just out of honor.

While I'm sorry for your lose I can't help but be bothered with the fact that birth control is always the mans fault. sure it's the man blasted sperm but it takes two to make a baby. More importantly there are many women who willingly go on the pill or get their tubes tied for the sake of having unprotected sex. If you really are concerned with birth control you should not have sex at all.

On the note of the pharmaceutical companies they're main goal is to make sure no one gets better. A healthy man has no need for drugs therefore a healthy man won't buy drugs. The system is warped and it's a shame when someone has to die because of greed. I'm pretty sure in a perfect society birth control would not be the cause of cancer and more importantly cancer would not have the reason for you mothers death, But life sucks.

I'm sorry for you lose and wish you the best.
