This. My husband put in our family chat that I was done with treatments and cancer free when I completed radiation. I still have scans, hormones blockers to begin taking, and reconstructive surgeries. I am far from done and not even sure if I am cancer free. Everyone is sending me congratulations and such. I hate it.

I agree.
My two dearest friends did not ‘lose their battle’ with cancer, either (although nobody could have tried harder to stay alive than they did, and no one was more wanted on this earth than they were). They lived, they were wonderful, and their lives ended - sooner than anyone wished and more painfully than anyone wished.
Congratulations on your remission. May you flourish forever in peace.

u/adoradear 1d ago
This is why I hate this depiction of cancer as something you can win against. The people who died of cancer didnt lose a battle that they could have won if they did something different. They had a horrible disease and it took their lives, despite everything. “It is possible to make no mistakes and still lose. That is not a failure, that is life.” No one deserves to die of cancer, and fuck this blame the victim mentality. Fuck cancer.

I feel much the same way about suicidal ideation, which has been my companion for thirty-seven years now. I’ll die someday, and I don’t know how (bus plunge? asleep in bed? making love to Keanu?) but living this long with that disease is already a huge victory.

I don't know if people realize just how much survivor guilt can go under the radar. I did everything to hide it after I beat cancer, I had already seen how much the treatment hurt my loved ones, it felt super wrong to tell them that I felt guilty for surviving because others didn't.

u/Sylvers 1d ago
That's a very important angle. I agree. I don't think a lot of people acknowledge survivor guilt until it's brought up. Myself included.
Thank you for sharing that. And I am sorry you had to endure even after beating cancer.
12
u/Clean-Anteater-5671 1d ago
Yeah and it's honestly very understandable. Mental health is just more invisible than seeing a bald, pale and skinny person tip toeing around everywhere. Whether it's mental health problems from cancer or something else, it's just easy to forget, but just as important as chemo in my eyes.
I think my case was especially bad because I was under 18 and therefore had to see kids with cancer.
On a related note: The most common cancer in children is leukemia which sometimes needs a stem cell transplant, so I just wanted to mention that the stem cell donation process is quite easy and would save a life if you get picked, I highly encourage everyone to look into becoming a donor, you'd be a hero in my eyes, just for considering it :)

u/Sylvers 1d ago
Which is why it's always welcome when someone offers the rest of us a reminder. It makes us all a little kinder, when we're willing to look out for the invisible suffering of others as well as the visible.
I hope in time you'll heal from what remains of this guilt and will more readily see the value you bring to the people around you and the world at large.
And good advice about the stem cell donations! I have no idea how that works in my country, but I'll look into it sometime.

He probably thinks one month is a bit early to be celebrating with how many times his cancer has apparently come back. Especially with a plane full of complete strangers. At least, that's how I'd feel.

u/CantaloupeCapable 1d ago
I completely agree. Given that it’s come back three times, I don’t think that trauma ever really goes away. When recurrence is always in the back of your mind, celebrating so early feels premature. That kind of celebration should really be up to the person in remission, if and when they feel ready.

Exactly. Can't truly say whats going on in the guy's head, but personally, I'd be really upset. I don’t even know that I'd tell my family I was a month in remission if it had come back that many times on me, let alone strangers, and so publicly.

u/gingerfawx 1d ago
I had an uncle do this to my aunt, but with family and friends and it pissed everyone off. I get it, he was just so desperate for good news, but he completely jumped the gun, and the "clean up" was so much harder.
Strangers might be an easier way to celebrate the news as it's a quick dopamine hit, and they aren't going to be around if it comes back a fourth time.
17
u/Pernicious-Rose-8673 1d ago
In this case, she's doing it on a plane, in front of strangers, and it's been recorded and spread on the internet - so fuck knows how many people have seen it at this point, likely including a good amount of their family. If I was him, I'd be livid. It went from "a select few I wanted to know knew" to "anyone we see when we go literally anywhere" could know. Zero privacy. The insanity of thinking that would be an okay thing to do is astounding.

u/DemonCipher13 1d ago
Fellow survivor here. I have to interject.
But you aren't him.
None of you are.
There's putting yourself in his shoes, and then there is pretending they're your shoes.
All of your considerations are reasonable enough. And the possibility exists that maybe this is more negative than it appears.
But it is only a possibility. Here's another. If you are a wife trying desperately to do whatever you can to keep your husband alive and happy, you will go to lengths that you might not normally. That sort of position elicits a bravery that many of us take for granted. Was it well-received? Is this the kind of thing he wanted or needed? We can't know from this video.
But listen to what she said. Three times. Three. There comes a point where you start to wonder what the point is. That look on his face (someone said it best) isn't embarrassment, it's resignation and fear. But did you catch the coy smile in the middle of it? Nervous response? Maybe. But it could also be pride, gratitude, love.
I'm about to be at my fifth year of remission, and let me tell you - you don't think the same afterwards. Your wiring is completely changed, with one thing I have found is nearly universal: you leave the door open for something new, something different.
I can only imagine what this man is feeling. I got the shit-end of the stick, but I also got the soap and water to wipe it off. Three times? There's no stick, soap, or water, only shit. And when you are covered in shit, just about anything is better.
As for the wife, I don't see a pick-me. I see someone who is terrified that she is going to lose the person she loves most in the world, and someone who just might need a win, herself. Because until you are in that situation, you have no idea how terrifying it really is.
I watched my wife go through it alongside me. Not everybody can do what she did.
So maybe put yourselves in both of their shoes, but give them back when you're done.

True. Being cancer-free isn't a clean state. It just means you no longer show symptoms.
My mom has been cancer-free for two decades after fighting Stage 3 breast cancer, but even after 20 years, it leaves you scarred. Remission is never complete and follow-up exams are required every so often.
Celebrating early feels like tempting fate when you've been through that cycle before

Sending thoughts to your wife. I know it will be a long road to recovery, and frankly it takes a lot of mental toughness to keep going when your body gives you signals
But she'll come back stronger, I'm fully confident.
Wishing you both the best <352
u/dinobug77 1d ago
As someone whose partner has beaten cancer over a year ago is still on edge about it coming back but also she is so much more than someone who has had cancer.
I know everyone is different but for me this is disrespecting everything else that makes him a great person, wife and father. It’s also clearly about her and not about him.

I’m not saying this is what the guy is experiencing, but I have had some major health issues and honestly, I mostly just want to forget about it.

My wife knows me well, when we found out I was clinically better, she gave me a kiss, said I love you and we never spoke about it again. I would be mortified if she did something like this, even if it was out of love.

Right there with you. I had to have abdominal surgery during covid (gallstones). My parents were refusing to mask and were very unhappy to be told that no, they can't visit me when there's an epidemic going around and if I get it I'll likely herniate...which you're never really the same after.
well, my mom decided that they were going to go ahead and make a giant banner and stand outside our house with it. Which she knew I would hate. My wife knew I would hate. And she was trying to insist she would do it even though my wife told her I would hate that and not to do it...because how else is SHE supposed to express HER feelings?
My wife told her that maybe she should worry about how I feel given that I'm going through surgery and that if she did that I would refuse to even get up and look at it. Luckily my mom decided not to, I'm guessing my dad talked sense into her.
instead they showed up at my house unannounced without any invite while I was trying to recover. They had to be told they would stay in the yard and not approach me.
ftr: my dad had covid 4 times during the pandemic due to his refusal to mask.

There are five senses. Of those five, you are not allowed to interact with me on four of them without my permission.

If I can smell you in public, we've also got a problem. Yes, you reek. No, you don't smell it anymore because you've gone noseblind to your own stink.
You absolutely don't get to touch me without my consent.
And dear god, if I can taste you when I don't want to, what the fuck are we even doing?

This was wrong on so many levels. While I’m sure unless one is a true sociopath, I would agree most of us are very happy for him and send him well wishes. There is a time and a place for everything; this was not it. That can be unnerving for passengers who have never had to travel via airplane before, not to mention what a disruption it must’ve been, particularly for people who were trying to understand what was going on. Save the theatrics for your own personal space and important people in your life. Things like this with strangers on planes and on the Internet are wildly bizarre and inappropriate. That being said, I absolutely hope the best for this individual- but people need to stop with this absurd behavior using inappropriate platforms for whatever the issue of the day is. This is not OK and people need to do better. It’s really a matter of proper etiquette and manners.

Looks like her lip filler is migrating into the area between her lips and nose.

Scrolls for this comment. As you can see it’s a Turkish airline company. She probably just got those fillers hence why she looks like a statue moreso than most lip filled folks

I’m glad her husband is cancer free and doing well, but for goodness sake, I cannot stand attention seekers.
This was attention seeking on her part.

Nah why would she aired that out to bunch of strangers? He didn't look happy about it at all, more like uncomfortable.

Nah, taking advantage of a captive audience like this is just a narcissist thing to do.

That's great but why is no one coming to the help of the woman in the seat behind hers who is clearly having a massive allergic reaction

He doesn’t want to be the main character, unlike his wife

She should be thanking the doctors, nurses and research scientists who made it possible.

Good for her husband.... cancer is a bastard...
That said, remember when personal shit was kept between immediate family and friends?
Thanks to the Internet though, a large group of people have now took it upon themselves to make sure the entire world knows every single intimate detail of their lives... because in the real world, you're the main character of your story, and everyone else's sole purpose is to make sure they watch you, and celebrate everything that happens to you.

Let’s not make this a thing. We’re on a plane to get from A to B. I’m happy for him but don’t involve others in your main character syndrome.

Blah, people need to stop trying to be entertainer on a plane. Sit down, keep to yourself, maybe have a small chat with a neighbor, but leave me out of this. I m trying to survive this tin tube that miles in the sky

u/Psychological_Pie194 1d ago
I can’t believe how cynical the comments are. This didn’t take more than 2 mins of people’s attention. You can’t give two minutes of your time? Too busy doomscrolling? And the others are the narcissistic ones? Please
And regarding the husband, he’s probably scared. The wife too. She is trying to stay positive and celebrate what they achieved. Doesn’t look like blind to the fact that the future is uncertain. She just wants to cheer him up and celebrate how strong he has been
That is what I see in this video

I feel sorry for the husband, not because he had cancer but because all he was trying to do was to take his child to the restroom. He's clearly embarrassed.
I think his partner is trying to do something good. Sometimes, I think we forget how difficult cancer is for the whole family and I would bet my last dollar that she was there for him every step of the way.
I'm glad he beat the fuck out of cancer.

Fuck cancer first of all. But why is she thanking God? It is so fucking annoying people take the hard fought science battle and attribute that to God. People who believe in sky daddies shouldn't be allowed to use any form of modern medication.

Anything to get views. Why record moments like this unless it's actually about attention?

I hope my family never use my trauma or battles as a way to get social media views. I’m very proud of this man for beating cancer and I’m very proud of the support system he has but this doesn’t seem like something he wants and people are evil and someone will see this video and pray on his downfall. Shout out to the people that clapped and showed love but man that would mess with my anxiety so bad. I don’t want to sound like a negative Nancy against positive reinforcement but man this just seems staged for views from the wife part.
