Brutally honest question: Stage four cancer is terminal right?

Most stage 4 cancer is deadly and can’t be cured. Some girl posted on her that her mother has stage four cancer and she believes her mom can fight this. I’m glad she had that positive mindset BUT she won’t accept that her mother is dying and can’t accept that it isn’t curable. I’m no sorry for what happened but I feel bad for her but she should have her mother suffering. She can’t get upset at this stuff because shit happens for a reason and she had to accept death is part of life. How can I get her to accept that stage four is terminal? She never mentioned about that. I’ve never heard of someone surviving stage four cancer. Sorry to sound harsh but it’s incurable.

unfortunately yes. Stage four indicates distant metastases and a failure of the treatment to control its spread.

@TexChik Yeah. Unfortunately she will have to accept and accept that her mother is dying. Her mom isn’t going to beat it unfortunately and there’s nothing she can do about it. Sounds harsh but those are facts.

@PetiteJulie01 She wont accept it until she dies, that's what family does.

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@TexChik That’s true. Poor girl is in denial about it. She thinks her mom will fight it but the truth is she won’t. She needs to accept that her mother is going to die. Poor girl.

@PetiteJulie01 If you understand the stages of grief, you will see denial is first and foremost on the list.

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@TexChik I know what it is. She’s too dense to accept that her mom is going to pass away. Stage four cancer isn’t curable.

TexChik · F

@PetiteJulie01 perhaps you are too dense to understand compassion. She understands fully what is happening, but her mind refuses to accept it. Like I said, why are you so interested in her grief and why do you want her to experience it now?

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@TexChik Oh IM dense?! Really?! Give me one goddamn reason that I am! I don’t want her to experience it now. I want her to accept reality

TexChik · F

@PetiteJulie01 . You are a heartless psycho that delights in other's misery. You just can't STFU and leave her alone. I hope she blocked your sorry *ss. You needlessly are creating drama because that's what Karen's do.

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@TexChik Wow rude much? You can’t handle when someone speaks facts can you?

TexChik · F

@PetiteJulie01 Absolutely, and I spoke them to you, foul mouth. You want a girl that is dealing with her mother's death to deal with them on your terms. You have no clue how cruel and heartless you are. The world is not about you or how you want things to be done, Karen.

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@TexChik STOP CALLING ME KAREN!!! Look I feel bad enough as it is. I feel bad for the poor girl and I hope to god she gets to see her mother before she dies. I’m just saying she should be realistic about these things. A lot of people don’t survive stage four cancer. Her mom won’t survive sadly.

TexChik · F

@PetiteJulie01 please stop acting like one . She has the right to deal with her loss in her way . You are not losing someone you love, she is.

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@TexChik I KNOW SHE IS!! Hello! I’m not stupid. Just stop treating me like a criminal! Her mother is going to die and that’s that. She needs to accept she won’t have a mother anymore. Life is brutal and adults should be able to handle brutal situations and conversations.

TexChik · F

@PetiteJulie01 Clearly she will deal with it in her own way in her own time. Stop being so heartless.

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@TexChik whatever it’s the truth

TexChik · F

@PetiteJulie01 whatever, it’s really none of your concern .

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@TexChik doesn’t change the fact that it’s true. She says her mom is doing better but it doesn’t change the fact that she has terminal cancer. Sorry but it’s true.

TexChik · F

@PetiteJulie01 Nor does that fact require her to deal with it the way [b]you[/b] prefer. If you do not want to be called out as a Karen , stop acting like one. 🤷🏻‍♀️

PetiteJulie01 · 22-25, F

@TexChik I not being a Karen! Why is that even a damn term?!

Carissimi · F

You really are a piece of work. It’s none of your business how someone else deals with grief and loss. You sound like a control freak, or a troll. @PetiteJulie01

TexChik · F

@PetiteJulie01 to explain people like you and your behavior .
