Banter

DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS THREAD AS I AM DEAD SERIOUS..IF YOU WISH COMMENTS TO BE NEGATIVE AND NASTY AGAINST ME..PLEASE…DON’T MOVE AWAY.

I have mentioned my neighbor, like sister and family know for 25 years. Has sarcoma cancer, worst kind..ticket taken any time. Five years now. Young, slender, full of life and energy regardless of her illness..went from high upper management under c.e.o. to losing job, benefits, 401k plans and investment in a worldwide known company. No benefits. 30 years of her sweat..lost everything. Now when can, able, helps her husband in few hotdog trucks own. Lives daily with suffering never shows it.

Every 3 months this stuff comes back. Couldn’t do anything more for her but remove with surgery every time it comes back. Now told trying new treatment. Dangerous, geo or something. She going to be very sick till body adjusts. Treatments 2 years every 3 weeks, 4 hours a day. Not to mention hour and half trip away and back. 3 hours total travel time…and can kill her.. too!

Reason I am sharing is the BANTER HERE applied to others with very serious illnesses are used to retaliate with malicious and viscous tendency. Yes mental illness, alcohol, addiction just as serious..but folks come on spewing lies about cancer or not as all know and would agree much more serious an illness. And no, did not forget the handicapped or disability of some which impede and slowly remove dignity and ability to function in a manner worth existing in first place…trying to move forward and cope. Live life to fullest, enjoy and love.

As I am first to admit I do not like Alfie’s tactics, I wish him no real ill or malious. I have been reading he has cancer. Banter? This no game or joke in real life. I read those who wish it on others..absolutely disgusting…

I read insults about mom’s, dad’s, children..my own included disgusting and so low below belt. So give me a private kick in the ass when banter as seriously here..never sure…I do know we all have a real life..may suffer quietly..openly., but hey choose your banter little better please.

Thanks for reading. I cry every time I share this story. I saw her late yesterday in which she silently cried again with me. We hug, cry together hee wife and mother pain. She so very tired. Wants to give up some times. I not ALLOW IT EVER, till no hope found. We then giggle, laugh, and I threatened to beat her up. She then o.k. we wipe our tears and I give presents to family as they give me when on holidays.

Try to be kind to each other…or less banter.. x
