F*$# cancer (lemm.ee)

Not sure where else to post this, but I just learned that an old buddy lost his lengthy battle with cancer this evening after putting up a solid fight. If anyone feels like raising a glass to a random stranger, I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

Fuck cancer, and be excellent to each other 🥃

Sorry for your loss. In the future please avoid calling it a "fight" though, as that's got negative connotations toward those that can't survive the disease, since it puts the blame on the victim for "not fighting hard enough". Not saying that's what you meant, but some people definitely mean it that way.

Call it a draw since the cancer dies with you.
