      Yep - as I figured, almost all of you have had this happen to familymembers… I barely knew my grandmother on my dad's side as she died of breastcancer age 52... My mum's sis (my aunt) recovered from breast cancer just recently... So anyway: I honestly hope all your folk will be ok!.. My dad won't be, though... It's the 4th most lethal cancer, and the only possible way to beat it is after an operation... But the tumour wasn't operable and has been growing since (even during chemo) so it's just a matter of time... And with pancreatic cancer, time is definitely not on your side...

      I've been very privileged in that neither of my parents or close family or friends ever got sick, or died... So my dad delivering the news to me... I was the first one he told... Well... It's honestly like experiencing a surreal nightmare you can't wake up from... It was like that for a month... It's not gotten any easier, though... I can tell he's getting worse quickly, and I think the next round of chemo will just make things worse...

      C'est la vie... I'm gonna have a drink now...  😘

          The ones amongst you who remember IH forum member Geo know how quick it can go!..  😞 😞

          I didn't wanna start a "Fuck Cancer" thread back in January thinking it would (really) bum out people, or trigger negative shit… But I guess this thread is as good as any to vent...

                  @Graeme:

                  So do I.

                  I lost my mother to cancer (Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma) about five years ago. She fought it for six or seven years before that, and dealing with that is tough, so you have my sympathy @Seul. 😞

                  Fingers crossed he makes a recovery.

                  My brother was diagnosed with stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma when he was 12.  My sympathy goes out to anyone and everyone who has and/or is dealing with this.

                  My thoughts are with you @Seul.

                    I'll add to the fuck cancer rant.  Recently had an employee of mine inform me of their diagnosis.  Stage 4.  1-2 years max.

                    Employee is married with two young children.  Absolutely heartbreaking.

                    Hopefully the only time in my life I have to have that piece of news delivered to me.

                            Got my LOD jacket. No stickers or blue bag. Maybe this has been new policy. But first I've encountered this.

                              I didn’t get any stickers with my last order either. I assumed they were out.

                                  They aren’t universally liked and cost about a dollar for two. I believe their use is being limited. I know there are other goodies in the pipeline that will be included with orders. And they are cool af.

                                  As for blue bags, I know they are iconic and I don’t know if they are being phased out. For my part I’ll happily say goodbye to them as reducing the consumption of single use plastics is pretty important stuff. Plus the heavy paper packaging now in use is pretty cool.

                                    @HeavyGenes @sabergirl @Wlemon if you add a note to your next order we will add some extra stickers in for you.  In regards to the blue bags, as @neph93 has stated we will be trying to phase these out to reduce our plastic consumption.

                                          Great! I've always reused the blue bags to collect my plastic waste in them. The brown bags are now used to collect maculation.

                                            I’m glad to see ANY plastic get phased out. We all need to stop using the stuff wherever possible. Kudos IH!
