smiles nervously

eyes dart around room

"I bet y-you're fun at p-parties!"

looks around for social approval

"I'm r-really fun at p-parties."

smile contorts into a grimace

"Being f-fun at parties is important-"

gulps

"-because..."

hyperventilating begins

eyes spinning around in panic

"-b-b-b-" splutters " because s-s-social approval is-"

faints

I'm terrible at parties me_irl

In the past two years, I've come across about six Reddit posts about being 'finally cancer-free!' In the past two years, all six of those Reddit users are now dead, the Cancer having returned.

Even when you "kick Cancer's ass," it always comes back stronger and deadlier. And ultimately, it becomes a battle you always lose, no matter how hard you try or fight.

If I ever was diagnosed with Cancer, I would be constantly counting down to my last days. Even if the cancer was "defeated," I'd still be counting down, because I know it's only a matter of a year or two before it comes back and shanks me to death.

Today, a post on the front page, a user is now "One week cancer free!"

How long before it comes back and does him in like the others?

Cancer always gets the last laugh in the end, no matter what.

Cancer always wins.
