Rest in Peace #4

[ohnomyhat]

I always find that difficult to believe. If you truly know your own body, you will notice something is up. Whether it be unusual tiredness or something, but I think the biggest problem is that our society is now so go, go, go and we have to tough out every day despite how we feel, most of us probably assume it's just tiredness from working, family life, etc. For me, for e.g, I believe I would know something is up because I often go gym and know when I am unusually tired because my workouts suffer.

I struggle with the output like I normally do. It's like men who ignore symptoms, they try to be tough and act like it's nothing, yet it could be a bad health issue yet they leave it and leave it until it's too late. Another thing is feeling like wasting a doctors time, yet I often feel like if you believe something is wrong then you have to really push the Dr for scans and/or tests.

Don't be ashamed or worried about that, it can either save or end your life being stubborn. For any of you reading this who feel something isn't normal, be extra stubborn and make sure that you get those checkups, don't be brushed off and if necessary, get a second or third opinion. I know it's scary to find out whether you have a serious health issue, but it's far better to know than not to, then find out too late.

TBF I have a family member who has been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour, she had no symptoms until her husband woke up to her having a fit and going blue in the middle of the night. She's been told, "but you should have had headaches, or tiredness, or blurred vision?" And she had none of those.

I would rather know and get a chance to get checked out and fight it, than not know until I found out by chance.

My husband had no symptoms at all, thank god for the bowel cancer screening service, detected early & treatment received. Still having cancer marker blood tests now, but will be 5 years clear due next year.

She may have put any "symptoms" down to the pregnancy. You have regular blood tests when pregnant, but the anomaly only showed when she was tested after the birth. I'm sure if it had shown up sooner, they would have made attempts to deliver the baby early in order to start treatment as soon as possible. Really terrible news, such a young age.

Friend of mine has stage 4 pancreatic cancer with liver spread. No symptoms until it was too late. And even that was simply a stomach pain that just wouldn’t shift. Fast forward ten weeks, she’s spent seven of those in hospital, and likely won’t see her 45th birthday. It’s quite possible to have no symptoms at all.

My ex's mum was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor a few years ago after she woke up one day and was slurring her words. At first they thought maybe it was a stroke but scans revealed the tumour. No issues beforehand and sadly she died a month later - she never had any issues with her vision or any headaches or physical pain.

She might’ve put it down to pregnancy symptoms ? there’s quite a lot of women get diagnosed in and around the time of giving birth , pregnancy can knock you off kilter at the best of times.

A lot of big stars gone this year:

Sad to see that Brian Wilson wasn't on that list. Far more influential to popular culture than others listed.

 

[Veronicaaa]

David Lynch was my big one, way back in January. Death linked to the wildfires in California. What a way to start the year

 

[Rockin' Robin]

I'd like to add the actor Ray Brooks to the list. Not really widely known outside the UK, but he will be forever imortalised as the voice of Mr Benn - amongst many other things.

RIP Strongman/World’s Strongest Man contender Pa O’Dwyer, who has died at the age of 40. Can’t see any news articles about it, I saw Tom Stoltman share a Go Fund Me set up by Eddie Hall
