I have a friend who cousin had cancer. She was only 12 years old and she died a week ago...
It was very sad cause she had cancer all her litle life and her parents try everything to heal her or to try to she fell better. It was a tragic story....
When the medics told to the girl that she will probably die in the next months, the girl asked to their parents that she want a pink coffin with butterflys........
She died and her will was done.
There are very famous peolpe with cancer too...
I am (was?) related to 5 people who have died of cancer, luckily most of them were distant relatives. My uncle got bone marrow cancer (I dunno the technical term or whatever) a few years ago, it was really bad. The doctors said that most people would have died very early on.
He went to the doctors loads of times complaining about back problems and they just fobbed him off. He was very fit and healthy and therefore didn't get ill often so they should have checked him over. They didn't, of course They eventually decided to get up off their arses and give him a check up, and what d'ya know, he's got cancer.
Apparantly if they'd found out earlier they could have solved it with very few problems, typical. He had a bone marrow transplant which lasted alright for a while, then backfired and he went into a coma. Against all odds, he actually woke up, but his brain's a little messed up. It's mainly with memory, he'll be talking to you and he'll suddenly forget everything, who you are, what you were talking about etc.
Very similar thing happened to another uncle (unrelated to the other one), except he went for longer, was diognosed with bone marrow cancer later and then died.
As long as it's diognosed early enough it's quite curable, it just depends on whether your doctors can be arsed to have a look.

Was the show Dr House M.D.? I love that show watching it now on the USA network =)
o.o May be you should answer the question rather than discuss TV shows.
My grandma on my mom's side died a few weeks back, though we aren't really sure if it was her diabetes or cancer, or both. My grandpa and uncle on my dads side died of cancer as well, but this was before I was born, so I didn't know either of them.
I guess you never know how many people have cancer, but I know a few people who have had cancer, too. My mom was diagnosed about 7 years ago, with 3 different types of cancer, my gran-papa died of a brain tumor about 3 years ago, my very close aunt died of breast cancer, along with many of my aunts and cousins, and I just had a friend get diagnosed with T-Cell leukemia. (He was diagnosed right before he graduated from high school .)
There were others, but, I can't remember everyone.

And just to answer your question, yes, House did remind me of the moment of when my mom told me from the hospital that she was diagnosed with cancer. (I was only about 7-8 years old at the time, too.)
There was this friends of my cousin. it was her best friend.
it was a boy... 7 years old u.u, terrible :C
it's kinda odd because he was hospitalized in the same hospital my brother was [my brother had an accident :0]
right infront of my brother's room it was his.
he didn't died of cancer although.
he got sick of something i can't rememeber, still one more session of quimiotherapy(sp?) and he well, would be cured i guess.
he passed away the next day my brother got out of the hospital :/
and i realized the most akward way anyone could imagine
thanks to my grandma and my aunt he and my cousin atleast went to disneyland together...
well he got the chance to do something he really wanted
Unfortunately my two favorite uncles both have cancer...
It's sad because one moved here from Ohio, leaving my cousin and aunt behind so he could get a better job to pay for chemo and support his family. The other one found out he had cancer just after my other aunt fought (and thankfully won) against her cancer.

I have one grandmother and one gradfather who died cause of cancer.They died before i was born so i never mett them. I have a uncle too who died of pulman cancer when i was 3 months of life.
My grandmother had cancer, but she cure it by some chemical therapies. It was horrible, she lost all hair and weight, her body was so weak but it was few years ago and now she's fine, the prioce was high, but there was no choice really.
I have known two people with cancer, my grandmother, and my uncle, my grandmother had colon cancer and died about a year ago, my uncle had lung cancer (he didn't smoke) he died today at 1:00pm.

I'm so sorry. It's kind of unfair how some people who don't smoke get lung cancer, and they have no idea why, while others who smoke on a daily basis live into their 80's.
I had a family member that had colon cancer But he died a few years ago....And I had an aunt who died recently from cancer. It still makes me lament when I think of her passing

My grand father died of lung, liver, heart and kidney cancer some years back, he abused drugs to so....
My friend has ovarian cancer, she's getting it removed one step at a time. But yeah I've known alot of people with cancer
My papa has brain cancer, and im currently living with him so i have to watch him go threw all the pain. He's had it for 4 years and has lived longer then the doctors though he would at least over a year , but its starting to catch up with him. He's taking a lot of morphine pills, and starts singing all this old songs and yodeling and is just being silly, hes also on this patch thing that i don't know much about i think its to help with the pain and its been causing him to fall asleep at the table and he gets around the house in a wheel chair and 2 days ago he feel asleep and fell out of his chair. But he seems to be dealing with hes usually happy and trys to make everyone laugh, and he has his good days were he really gets into doing something and has the strength to walk around outside with out his wheel chair for a little bit usually when his friend is over. Its starting to get to much for my nana, since shes taking care of him all by her self and when he gets up in 4am to play cards she had to get up to make sure nothing happens to him and if he wants any food, and im moving out soon so i wont be here to help, and i feel bad for moving but she says she doesnt want anyone here to see him get worse and it would be easyer to take care of him when no one else is here
(by the way my papa is my grandpa, for some reason when i say papa everyone thinks i mean my dad, and the main reason hes in the wheelchair is because he gets really dizzy)
My grandma had breast cancer and had to get a mastectomy when she was 50, I believe. It's in remission now, which is good, but she had to go through all that chemo and whatnot. However, it is a running trend from my mother's side in the family. Grams had it at an early age, 'round 16, and so did my mom. She's got a lot of benign cysts, but some of them have been worrisome, and it's not really getting any better. Luckily, she hasn't had any serious cancerous masses found, but I'm a little worried since it seemed to pass on from my grandma. I haven't had any problems with it, though it's possible I might as I age.
Also, my mom's adopted mother died of cancer when she was 18.
My step mom had to get a hysterectomy because they found a very large malignant tumor in her ovaries.
My REAL mom had to get a hysterectomy because there was the same issue, just smaller, and they removed everything just to be safe.
A friend of mine had cancer in her ovaries, and I remember the day she told me she had to get surgery for it. She was devastated. I don't believe she can have kids on her own now, or it will be very hard.

They eventually decided to get up off their arses and give him a check up, and what d'ya know, he's got cancer.
