    Default Re: The big C...

    Admittedly, my grandparents and others already died with cancer when I was young. However, my older brother is terminally ill and many of the things are the same. He has big memory problems, keeps having to use the bathroom after eating as he can't keep anything down. Has to use a walking stick to get around due to weak balance and lack of energy.

    What I have to argue is worse, is that he is only early thirties. The reason why this is worse is lets say he wants to go out, the general public accuses him of "faking it" and faces harsh discrimination, just because he early thirties, opposed to being in his later years.

    If you are curious what is wrong with him, he had kidney failure at around 12-13 and been on dialysis for the last twenty years unable to get a transplant, and due to the issues surrounding this including high chance of blood poisoning, weaker immune system, heavily scar issue in his stomach and tons of operations involving having things such as cow veins transplanted into him.
