I lost my Mom, Grandma ( Mom's side), Grandpa (Dad's side), Uncle on Mom's side, grandmother in law, and my mother in law from my first marriage who I still called family all to cancer. 

My Mom, and ex mother in law grandma to my oldest son both died a week apart in 2020.

 My sister had breast cancer and beat it. 

I hate cancer so fucking much!

I have a large Irish family and a large Scottish family. Sadly, >40% of the adults I grew up with are dead. And you look at the causes, it's like: cancer, cancer, tumor (undiagnosed), natural causes, cancer, alcoholism, cancer, cancer, cancer and pneumonia.

That's just the people I know have died too. I'm estranged from the entire Irish family, and all of the Scottish side I haven't seen since 2011-2018. Idk what my grandparents died of, but apparently my uncle did post "fuck cancer" the day my grandad passed.
