Just found out my Dad (well, Step-Dad, but the closest thing I've ever had to a real one) has Colon cancer.

This comes after 18 months of him telling everyone who would(n't) listen that he was ill and being told it was all in his head. This was based on a scan (which we've since found out was read by someone not qualified to do so) coming back as all clear and his career as a Paramedic meaning he must be prone to hypochondria.

What makes it worse is that after a while you side with the Dr's and stop listening. For 6 months I've thought he was full of shit and now I feel like an absolute cunt.

FUCK the NHS.

Same. My grandad was misdiagnosed for 6 months with indigestion, and acid reflux when it was actually esophageal cancer. He went in for a scan. A week or two later they sent Macmillan nurses to him in the waiting room whilst he was getting more tests before he'd had his results! They came 2 weeks later. I was in absolute denial thinking they'd made a mistake and it was nothing then the devastating terminal blow came. Awful shit man I truly feel your pain.

Christ, Spikey. Best wishes to your family. My Dad's diagnosis has been the other way. He was pissing a lot so my mam kinda forced him to get it checked out. He has prostate cancer and is currently undergoing scans to pave the way for surgery or treatment. Things feel like they're moving quickly whilst the Doctors are also saying there's no rush. When early detection is key, you really have to hope cards just fall in your lap.

Awful, awful shit when circumstances play against you.

My advice to anyone who gets a cancer diagnosis, whether its yourself or a family member / friend, is to always keep a look out for clinical trials. I know 'cure for cancer' is kind of pie-in-the-sky type thinking but there is some truly groundbreaking work being done at the minute and it is accessible if you keep an eye out.

I've already been through this shit with my mum. Went from breast, to lymph nodes, to side, to lung, to brain over 6 years. She didn't even know who I was in the end. I came down the stairs (she had to sleep sat on the sofa because she couldn't walk) to find her ripping her drip out because she needed to find her knitting needles. She hadn't knitted since I was a kid. Fuck this shit again.

Last night in my gran's I spotted a leaflet encouraging her to get vaccinated for Shingles, inside which was something so completely illogical it pissed me off for a good ten minutes. There was a table showing the ages at which you were eligible to receive the vaccine, and it was as follows.

If we had to label somebody 'the father of extremism' then it would be him, but ultimately I reckon its mostly because of his stature within the Muslim Brotherhood and eventual martyrdom that really ramped up the idolisation as opposed to his writing alone. What he wrote about wasn't so different that it should completely separate him from the crowd.

Mine are a little discoloured and the middle 4 or 5 on the bottom row are pretty crooked despite having braces. Although the crooked ones are a family trait from my Dad's side.

One of my front central teeth on the top row also has a huge chip (about half the tooth is missing) in it after my older brother pushed my head down onto my Dad's marble floor when I was about 12. To this day he maintains that I head-butted the floor though.

Some fillings but no plaque or disease shit, my dentist always says they're incredibly healthy and strong.

My step-dad is a mongol. You can't have an opinion different to him or my mum otherwise they both get very defensive of each other. It leads me to believe their ex-partners were cunts (my father, so confirmed and his ex-wife died so can't confirm).

My mum asked me to download Fortitude and I did, all 44GB of it for Se01, and I said are you sure, it's got pretty dodgy reviews and is supposed to be poor. He piped up with 'Have you seen it? No? Well then'.

Fast forward a few days later and my mum agreed it was a bit strange and my step-dad piped up 'please don't download the 2nd series'.

Every so often I can't go to my normal barber - he owns his own shop so gets incredibly busy and I've got better things to do than wait hours for him. So I go to a local chain once in a blue moon, always get some randomer cut my hair. They do a good enough job but each of the cunts asks if they want me to do something about my eyebrows! Now I know that Kieron Dyer has nothing on my 'brows but fucking hell, I can't help but feel a bit self conscious when they ask that. I am curious though as to what they plan to do to the fuckers.
