At least 1, maybe 3, and 4 are quite similar to how people talk about depression.

It's the thought that counts sometimes.

One of our family friends lost their daughter to an agressive form of cancer. The sad thing is, doctors kept giving her antibiotics and +

America...?

damn, these onion-cutting ninjas!

That one made me cry while on the bus :(

Life goal: To live my life like a boss with or without cancer

sans is an owl now

also the cancer patient the media loves tends to get cancer from something like saving puppies from nuclear waste and not say smoking or just bad jeans

I have a different illness, but can relate to a lot of this.

*hug*

Aw aw aw aw aw big hug

He's just marrying into a "close" family.

I hate this attitude in religious people. It's the best example of the worst lack of empathy, all in the service of worshipping their magical sky daddy wish goblin.

It's true, everyone seems to have an opinion about it. And my mom had to endure every single suggestion. Including, a few weeks before she died, someone making her watch "The Secret" and telling her she just had to want to get better. Fun times.

I wish your insurance would pay for a brain implant...

Seriously, do people NOT know how to keep their thoughts to themselves? I mean I know so many adults who have opinions like this but they keep their mouths shut-none of yo business!

"You are lucky..." A**hole!

I can confirm this to be true.

The is the best depiction of treatment I have ever seen.

I don't like Trump but it disturbs me if people think he's ''as bad as Hitler'' or that his supporters are ''subhuman'' or ''deserve to die''

Oh god... these comics are really getting to me..

I dunno, I wouldn't be so harsh about the teen here. This could have as well been their own way of expressing the "man, that sucks" feeling. But I weren't there, so, who knows....

Now all you need is... 10,000 gallons of milk!

"My Plans" is an imaginary friend. For everyone, ill or healthy.

I think, sadly it can be a risk if you're on chemo therapy and someone hugs you. So, I would say, if you want to hug a person with cancer, ask before. maybe I'm wrong, but asking costs nothing, so what.

depression is the same way

That was beautiful. I'm crying.

Before my grandfather had cancer he and my grandma got along perfectly fine like a happy couple, but when he got pancreatic cancer they argued all the time until he died.

OK - all these cartoons are just amazing and funny and moving and thought provoking but this one just made me spit up my coffee. Great job, Matt xx

I read a book once about HELA cells. They are cancerous but have helped so much in the medical field especially in helping eradicate polio. It's ironic but those cancerous cells have saved alot of lives.

You sir, rock indeed. Keep on rockin', !

Not all cancer is terminal.

Ya know, chemicals in our food, environment and the products we use daily are a major cause of cancer but to cure it, unfortunately we can't just passively wish it away or use some random, newly discovered "power food". Also Ayurvedic medicine IS a thing but it is also scientifically backed (albeit in a different scientific language)-it's not just random s**t like "the internet said Kale so just drink a s**t of it and that's enough" but enough people seem to have 0 scientific knowledge about any type of natural remedy.

'a tumor the size of an elephant turd'... loooool dammit!!!

I was a door to door sales rep once and I tried to sign up this old man one day. We did a credit score check and he came back with a REALLY low score and it said if he wanted cable, he needed to pay a $200 refundable deposit. He told me that the reason he had such a s****y score is because while he was busy taking care of his ailing wife of 40 years who had cancer, some ASSHAT stole his identity and used all his savings and depleted his bank account. In the end, he could barely afford medicine for his poor wife and she died in so much pain. He didn't even have the $200 for the deposit because he was living paycheck to paycheck, having either lost most of the money to the identity thief or having spent it on his wife. It was an awful story. The look on that man's face when he told me he lost the love of his life...omg.

This comic gets to me so much. My mom was a lifelong vegetarian who faithfully exercised and was really into health. While she had cancer she went vegan, cut out all sugar, and started juicing beats and carrots. She died in 3 years later.

Not just cancer,but even when ur sick with other stuff n ppl force food down ur throat! They don't know how horrible it tastes at that time!
