Complain about all!

Have I yet complained that my sister has cancer? Well I'll complain about it now. My sister has cancer.
 
D: //additional hug

turned in paper 1 of 10,0000000. if I don't get an A I just won't even know why I went to the extent to use my rusty Latin to translate the passage myself.
 
Thank you @Westkana, @aki, @magicmagiamahou *hugs everyone back* We're trying to be hopeful but there's not much that can be done. It's a very rare kind of bone cancer and it can't be operated and radiation therapy can't be used because she had brain cancer before this and has already reached the limit of radiation her body can take. So it's treated with a new kind of biotherapy with the help of doctors from Boston university, which seems to have stopped the cancer from spreading for the time being. But they say it's a form of cancer that's not curable and will continue to grow for the rest of her life, so she'll have to be treated pretty much forever. At least she can lead a semi normal life at this point.

University life sounds hard aki. Ganbatte, hope you'll get an A. I didn't know you know latin.
 
I know what you're going through there @Kurjenmiekka, there's only a handful of people who know what my mum's cancer even is (Leiomyosarcoma) and even less who can actually treat it at all. Even then it's incurable and has been getting progressively worse for years now. She's stubborn though, her life expectancy was due years ago and yet she's still holding out.
 
@Seasonreaper I'm very sorry to hear that. Having cancer is bad enough, it's even worse for it to be an uncommon cancer that people don't have much knowledge of. No doctor in whole Finland had ever seen a case of this particular cancer so they had absolutely no experience about it. That's why we turned to Boston for help. Now they send medicine and treatment instructions from there and doctors here do the actual treatment. It's good that your mother hasn't lost her will to fight and that she's still alive. Has treatment been any help for her?
 
Kind of, it's helped ease the pain and have better luxury of life, but there's still a ton of extra stresses and issues that come with that as well. It's pretty awful.
 
Wow *hugs everyone* I did not know this was happening. I feel kind of bad for complaining all the time then. I mean, I do have chronic pain because of scoliosis and the surgery to try and correct it, and bad headaches almost every day, but I'm not trying to say that to make you feel sorry for me. I know we each have our own problems, and that's what my mom says too when I have breakdowns about it. That I can't take on the weight of the world, but I wish suffering, pain, disease, anxiety, depression, killings, and horrible things would end. I do believe in God and prayers have helped me a lot during extremely painful times. So I will pray for everyone here who has a loved one afflicted with cancer. (My Uncle did not have cancer but he had a brain tumor and he passed away about 4 years ago, but I still miss him a lot since he was also my cousin's (whom I am close to) dad. And I kind of saw him go from good to worse in a matter of days.) When I try and listen to Yuki's music I close my eyes and try and think of positive things, like my niece, who makes me extremely happy. So I suggest to do that or to listen to other music that you like.
 
It's okay @Liana_Ilia, you have every right to complain. This is a complain about all thread after all. Besides, you really have a very good reason to complain about. I'm sorry about your scoliosis and headaches, hopefully you'll get better soon. Thank you very much for praying for us! And yes, Yuki's music really does help a lot.
 
You have scoliosis? That's a viable reason to complain about stuff. Everyone has their own things to complain about and this is a thread for doing just that, so go ahead. If it helps to let it out then by all means do it.

And yes, I concur about music helping. It's not just Yuki for me though, I'm almost constantly listening to music as it helps me and I have a massive selection for almost any mood.
 
Awww, thanks. I am just saying I feel bad because there are people worse off. I can walk, talk, see, hear so those things are normal for me. Well, I do get pain if I walk a lot. I should be doing more walking. heh I did leg weights at training yesterday and it was hard. My legs are a little sore today. Plus I am very tired. I think it's because of the meds I am on, but still. I wish I liked tea or coffee, though sometimes that's just as bad as soda, which I don't drink that much of anyways.

I hope I am all right to the car ride to Madison today. It's about 2 and a half hours from where I live. So an hr longer than going to my niece's. I get nervous for long car rides because my back and shoulder do start to really hurt, especially at night. This is also why I am not more confident in driving long distances for work. I know I can take the bus, but still. I hope I find a job soon. I have been looking for a long time. I am ready to move out and get a kitty. I think it would solve a lot of my issues, getting a kitty that is. But my parents won't allow it in our house right now. we have fish, but my Uncle is allergic and so is my brother's girlfriend. *sigh* Why doesn't everyone love cats instead of dogs? heh
 
^People used to worship cats, so I don't know why there aren't more who do. I know, I know, they're all out to kill us or whatever. But I don't believe that. they can be a source of relaxation and calming. When they just sit on your lap and purr. I dislike dogs very much. we have too many dogs on our block that bark constantly and sound like they are dying because their owners don't let them out or they leave them out in the cold. Next door especially. It barks for like an hour at a time. Sheesh. Plus they smell and are just nasty. heh Cats groom themselves! And don't pester you constantly for attention.
 
I 3rd that. And stress=headaches for me. I hate driving this time of year, because everyone is so reckless. I wish people would just slow down, and decide which lanes they want to be in. And yeah...stress. I actually have this thing, well, it's a card that's called the "Stressometer" I kid you not. And it shows how tense you are. I got home and put my thumb on the thing and it was black, meaning tense. I don't think I will ever be calm, but I do get normal, which is green. It's pretty interesting. And there's the hand warming technique which I did well on today. You think of your hands getting warmer and it's supposed to help with headaches. Biofeedback is interesting, but it helps. I have too much to do though before Christmas. I have almost no art done. Ahhh.

THERE'S TOO MUCH STRESS

4th that :uh..: The year is coming to an end and I'm behind schedule in terms of studies. It's just been one thing after another, but mainly me getting sick again and again :faint: And the headaches. I have a chronic headache problem but take medication to control it, but lately it's as though the medicine isn't working. I'm hoping that it's simply just those periods of me getting sick (still recovering from a cold, 3rd week now) that's causing the headaches, and not the medicine not being effective anymore...
