Lost my Dad to lung cancer in 2018. I'm sorry that you, your Dad, and your family are going through it.

Man, that saying has just never gotten any less weird to me as the years have gone on. Not from when I first heard it, not from when I've had multiple relatives pass away with various forms of it.... and not now. Cancer is just...us. Literally just us. Not a parasite, not a bacteria, not a virus,etc,etc. Just us. People make it out to be this evil entity or something when it's anything but.
