Saw this in the parking structure of the children's hospital where I work. The piece of paper there is a note I left saying CONGRATULATIONS!!! because I didn't have anything nicer to leave.
So happy for this family.

Getting hit by a car is your last chemo round?

Plot twist: It's child's last chemo because they've exhausted all options and switched to a "try to make final days pleasant" approach.

Yeah, but is it their last, is their *last*?
satanscott
high five to the kid and high five cancer in the fucking face with a shovel. /a/GIgCq
Blopps
Thank you for not saying 14 month old.
MerryXMan
'Last round' because the kid now turns two? Or because the kid died?

Weird ploy to get out of a ticket

why the title censorship?

I misread chemo as Christmas for some reason and I got really sad
DukePhelan
Christ I can not imagine. My kid just turned one and I just can not put myself in the parents shoes. I hope the little one is healthy again.

Plot twist: last round cause he died

Gods speed. good luck!

Congrats I wish your son well :)
triggerfox
That's sweet! Not my kid, just a car I saw in the parking lot at work. Just wanted to celebrate with them :)

People like this should be admired more.

My 7 yr old cousin has been dealing with cancer ever since he was 4. We'd thought he had conquered it at 6, but the docs found more. Sucks.
triggerfox
So sorry to hear that. Stay strong.
TheGenuineArticle
So Imgur did that glitch where if you scroll too fast it gives the same title for two pictures, and the picture before this is 1/2
TheGenuineArticle
two chicks twerking on a cop and I thought, "Yeah, fuck cancer." 2/2

So what are the chances them see your note instead of just driving off and it flying away?
triggerfox
Hopefully they'll actually notice it. Since then, someone else added another note on top of mine, and I put on a brightly-colored one (1/?)
triggerfox
signed by all my coworkers and taped it to the glass, so they're bound to see it :)
DoctorDanielJackson
Finished it right in the nick, too. Won't be able to get coverage if the new bill passes the Senate.
n0n53n53
The kid will still be uninsurable (or insurable at a very high rate) , so he's got that to look forward to
BlasphemousPigeon
Yup. But hey, at least the rich save some money. Who needs to insure fellow countrymen when you can buy another yacht?
baldewok
Nobody needs poor countrymen. Why can't they get off their fat asses and get rich?

That's awesome! Kicking cancer in the ass. You're a badass!

Fuck yeah! That's amazing :D

Wow. Don't take this the wrong way, but reading comments like this make me realize just how good I've had it.

I hope you've gotten a chance to enjoy that time!

I had a good friend in preschool who had leukemia, one day my mom told me she moved away, it didn't click until I saw her little brother 1/2
arednecksquirel
A few years later and realized that they didn't actually move
pseudoblack
Not to be THAT guy but.. what if it's the LAST round for a different reason?
rhinocerass
Would they really fucking advertise it on the back window of their car of that was the case, genius?
Rheios
Someone with a real asshole for a kid?
ProPuke
In which case.. Congratulations?

And a special cheers for scientific progress, which in 40 years turned child cancer from a five-year survival rate of 58% to over 80%.

Still gotta throw it out there, while it's fine and dandy that they're researching, it's still a butt ton of money for this kind of thing1/2
Goldenbukkit
2/2 , Money that most people don't have. Cancer treatments need to become more accessible to people as well as becoming more successful.
EnergyFiend
Only 5 years? :-/
GrifCreeper
They are still developing quite a lot, so there is a lot of room for things to get fucked up.
triggerfox
Unfortunately, a lot of childhood cancers have an incredibly high rate of recurrence. Making it 5 years without a recurrence is phenomenal
ArcaneM37
That's how they judge the effectiveness of treatment - seeing who made it at least 5 years. It's a common unit of measurment.

By scientific progress you mean of course extra blessings from Allah or Jahweh.

Honestly, go fuck yourself. Give credit to the people actually responsible, not your imaginary savior.
caramelballoffur
I am 90% that was sarcasm. No need to get triggered
Goldenbukkit
Mate you're stirring up a beehive bring religion into something like this.
StephNugs
Honestly, it has no place in a discussion like this. People worked very hard to save lives and they deserve all of the credit.
BananaAddedForScale
Have my upvote you bastard
KungFugazi
Yes. God blessed children with cancer so he could take credit for saving some of them.
shhep
Do scientists do the same? Infect kids with cancer-vaccines so that they can get credit curing some of them? You know, they're playing god.
krownd
We don't do that
KungFugazi
Well if they were playing god they'd be killing people before the age of 30, not trying to prolong life.
HeraklesTheFirst
Cancer vaccines?
caramelballoffur
Man, imgur really has trouble identifying sarcasm. Nobody says "you mean of course" when they are serious...
Goldenbukkit
Most sarcasm is picked up in the tone in somebody's voice or their unusual behavior. it's a lot harder to pick up on via text.
caramelballoffur
True. that isn't the case here however
chunkblaster
Give some credit to the actual human beings who figured this shit out, not some ghost you pray to at night
TheSwedishMoose
Psst, it was sarcasm.
chunkblaster
Fair enough but you did a bad job conveying it is clearly the consensus here
TheSwedishMoose
Psst, I'm a different user.
Megarith
Nobody likes losing their child.
Bugofbelgium
Yeah, having the staff blast my child's name over the supermarket speaker system is the worst!
KingoftheCommentLurkers
Godammit. I both hate and kind of like this comment.
KingoftheCommentLurkers
But for serious, let's push jokes out of the room when we're talking about child cancer.
Bugofbelgium
I disagree, nothing is too sacred for comedy.
KingoftheCommentLurkers
Maybe, but there is poor taste in it.
sunlight
Not to be THAT GUY, but it's particularly sad because childhood cancers have a way of coming back with a vengeance. Hope this little dude
aarhusianer
Only appropriate reply: FUCK CANCER
Mumalot
Sometimes ppl need a healthy dose of Reality; so they can prepare for the future instead of living in ignorant-bliss. *hugs THATGUY*

The way you said that just made me think of the second die hard movie: "Die Hard with a Vengeance" and I laughed and am going to Hell.
pancreas
Fuck, that's the third movie. I fucked up. This kid will have to die harder before they can die hard with a vengeance.

idk why you are downvoted you, you are right, chemos are super cancerigenous and tend to select the chemoresistant cells

dang I fucked up my phrasing
CreepyPhlox
This happened to my coworker's daughter. She fought and beat cancer at 3 years old. A different, more rare cancer got it at age 19. She...
CreepyPhlox
...passed away a year later.

My college roommate had bone cancer at age 16, leukemia at 18 and died at 19. Fuck cancer.

Damn, didn't know that. That fucking sucks!
RyanWolfe556
Yep, honestly not too excited about the possibilities in my future.
YourFriendlyNeighborhoodWizard
Unfortunately, this can be the case with many cancers. all it takes is one cell to mutate and go batshit crazy with splitting over and over
drdresmom
This happened with my cousin, she had cancer as a toddler and the treatment destroyed her organs and immune system. She passed on her 16th
drdresmom
Birthday due to a nasty pneumonia her body couldn't fight off.
shrivelledjohnson
My friends sister beat brain cancer twice, the third time she didn't want to do treatment. She was 16.
sunlight
Jeez. That's so rough. It's particularly hard on the families, since they get a lot of pubic scrutiny for not forcing their child into more
Jesusinacave
Lol you said pubic like pubes
sunlight
God damn it. I use the word public a lot in my professional writing and am terrified of making that mistake in one of my business documents.
sunlight
Treatment. In some States, the courts can take the child away from the parents and force them to have treatment.
shrivelledjohnson
This was like 15 years ago in Canada so thankfully public scrutiny was far less overreaching. Can't even imagine.
