My Cousin's Going To Die.

Well, for all of you whom I've kept updated on the cancer situation with my 17 year old cousin, Justin, with Rhabdomyosarcoma in Stage 5, there's nothing more they can do unfortunately. He's went through chemo for over a year and it's obviously not doing anything. The cancer started in his upper arm and has he had that amputated, but it's now spread throughout his body and my mother says he's going downhill quick, according to my Granny who Carolyn (Justin's Mom) informs first, and then Granny spreads the word to the rest of the family. But anywho, Carolyn and the family have chosen not to tell Justin that he's going to die, and have kept it a secret for quite a while. Im quesitoning if they should've done that, but if they had told him in the beginning when they heard the doubtful words from the doctor, and immediately told him...he might of just given up. But it was just a month or two ago that I saw him in person and he was doing fine, except he was feeling quite bad because of the cancer, but taking it strongly and trying to show no signs. But I just dont understand why cancer has to be such a *****, not just to my cousin Justin (who hasnt even begun to start his life, and wont ever, because of this stupid disease.), but to everyone else who's went through it. 😬
...And mother says he probably wont even make it until Christmas to say the worst...

Maybe not the time to inject my own personal losses, but in the last 20 years I lost 8 relatives, beginning with my grandmother in Feb. of 2001, and the subsequent deaths of two of her brothers (my uncles Joe and Floyd) and one of her sisters (my aunt Katherine from open heart surgery complications) and her husband in a car accident. Later uncle Joe's wife, my aunt Jeanne, died from an epileptic seizure and lastly, the youngest, my cousin Nancy, (42) died last year from returning breast cancer. Her daughter, Melinda, died from leukemia at age 4 back in 1987.

Most of them were cancer, in fact it's hereditary on that side of the family.

Anyway, there's not much I or anyone here can do or say, but regardless of who we are here at KM, or our differing views, I want to extend a warm hug and offer you my sincerest condolences. 🙁

My uncle whent through chemo for about a year also.. the doctors didnt think he would make it, but we all hoped the best and prayed for him everday, and with the help of God and loved ones, he is still alive...I know that everybody has a time to go, it just wasnt my uncles time, and I hope it isnt your cousin's time either...
God bless,

Daniels, it is time for you start to being strong for your cousin. I don't know how much time Justin has left. If he's not bedridden, and he's willing and his strength is there, you need to spend as much time with him as possible doing things HE enjoys....whatever that may be....fishing, catching a ball game, going to the movies, visiting a natural park, going to Vegas, hitting an amusement park, catching a concert, etc. etc.....you get the point. His closest high school buddies and childhood friends should be right there with him. He wants to go out enjoying life because that's what life is meant for....the living. He is not dead. Make him feel that way.

^^ I agree with that. If I knew that I were going to die, I would not want to spend the rest of my life in a hospital, I would want to be out doing all the things I always wanted to do.

Me? Hell, no. I know what its like to have a family member afflicted with terminal cancer. Apparently, though, kmcdude seems to think it's funny, otherwise he'd have never made such an insensitive remark.

You heartless peice of crap! How can you be so insensitive?
Have you never lost a family member? Have you never been in pain for someone else? Have you no heart? Obviously not because you wouldnt have said something like that. You should really get a swift kick in the face with a steel toed boot you immature hateful bastard!!

Ignore him, he's behaving like his usual self, hoping for attention.

I could have sworn he said he was leaving too...

He needs to leave for good

to Daniels_4_Ever: I hope everything gets better even though it doesnt seem that way right now but miracles happen all the time and I wish you and Justin all the best.

😂 I DID say that I was SORRY to hear it,which I am 🙁 but I dont feel sad or bad from reading it,maybe if I knew this person I would.....I am just being honest

KMC Dude, i have defended you several times in the past when others have called you an *******, but no more. you are indeed an insensitive prick. a slimeball in a sea of pus. a festering zit on the ass of humanity.

d4e, my prayers are with your cousin. cancer is a scary thing, perhaps one of the things that scare me the most, cuz it can hit anyone at any time.

I am scared of cancer as well,and I am sorry to hear this news but can you honestly expect me to care so deeply for someone I dont even know?This is very sad news and I can not do anything about it and if you hate me for being honest and saying reading this post has not made me feel any emotion......then hate me 🙂

i dont hate you. i just think that you have issues. you are not sad to hear a 17 year old is dying? he hasnt even had a taste of life yet!!! if you didnt have anything constructive to say, then you should have zipped it.
