Sadly not very lol over here
towards the end of last year I heard a friend of mine had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She died yesterday. Her last few months were not very good.

Also been talking to colleagues who knew the young person at work who killed herself.

Not much fucking lol going around right now.

Yep
not sure how my friend's funeral's gonna go. I'll have to be around for it but may not be allowed to attend due to numbers.

apparently it's a big deal for those who've had them, mrs q has referred to it as her 'german birthday' in reference to the lad who donated his cells

I watched a video of a german lad donating his cells once

jeez
I presume there were no outward signs from the person at work that anything was wrong, the way there usually aren't

There weren't
and it's not someone I've had direct dealings with (we're a big organisation) so it's not so tough for me, but we're all pretty isolated and I'm worried for team members.

Yeah

really shocked me

Yeesh.
My girlfriend's dad died of that nearly five years ago. He got great care but it was more or less a forgone conclusion as soon as he was diagnosed. I understand it's one of the least treatable ones you can get.

Sorry to hear about lack of lols.

And your last year of life falls during lockdown
just... so harsh.

aye, what fucks everything up is that it becomes symptomatic only when it's advanced.

I don't think "worse things happen at sea" is going to cut it here.
I hope your lols return soon.

I have very fond memories
of being in a band with her as a kid as she belted out blues numbers. She was a lovely woman, huge fun, infectious laugh and wasn't shy with it. She's been a friend of the family for decades and my folks are both devastated, but have some fantastic memories. Gonna see if I can find some old pics on their HD...
