On a serious note though, Eureka's family seems to be going through a lot right now so I hope they find suitable treatment options and manage to keep their spirits up. I lost a parent to cancer a few months ago, it's an awful disease to have to deal with.

Hopefully once the show starts airing, Eureka's mom will find some welcome distraction and joy in watching her baby on the screen every week :)

I just brought my aunt home from the hospital after an operation to hopefully rid her of her oral and throat cancer and am currently taking care of her, so this hits close to home. I'm wishing Eureka and her mom and family the best, it's a very scary thing to go through

I mean, y'all could spread some love instead of bitching about a trigger warning, but whatever.

[–]miakiiTrinity Taylor 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (0子コメント)

She means a tracheo, as in tracheotomy? Because everybody is born with a trachea.

[–]rosebananaNina Bo'nina Brown 27 ポイント28 ポイント  (15子コメント)

You put the word cancer in your title so the "triggering" is already done.

[–]justmikeyoNina Bo'nina Brown 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (9子コメント)

Is cancer a trigger word now?

[–]rosebananaNina Bo'nina Brown 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (8子コメント)

if you are triggered by it, it's triggering (!) like a photo of a strawberry, or mentioning someone's -kin.

[–]justmikeyoNina Bo'nina Brown 20 ポイント21 ポイント  (7子コメント)

I've just never heard of cancer being a sensitive word, we're all surrounded by it. I've seen the worst the disease can do, to family members, and have fought it myself so I'm baffled at the concept of a group out there demanding a life free from being exposed to the word.

[–]rosebananaNina Bo'nina Brown 33 ポイント34 ポイント  (6子コメント)

let me explain this at length: tumblr

[–]LondonFishSasha Velour 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (5子コメント)

I guess those people also avoid the daily horoscope in newspapers :s

[–]HefaesWelcome back, wennie lovers. 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (1子コメント)

certainly not another dig at the WeHo "horoscope auto-tweet" girls

[–]LondonFishSasha Velour 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (0子コメント)

HAHA I didn't even think of that. I can't with those damn things.

[–]rosebananaNina Bo'nina Brown 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (2子コメント)

if horoscopes are your trigger I respect that (:

[–]LondonFishSasha Velour 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Ha I mean "cancer" being one of the 12. I'm secretly into horoscopes but the proper ones.

Don't you judge me.

[–]rosebananaNina Bo'nina Brown 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

don't you judge me either! also for not getting your joke (embarrassing tbh).

[–]bead-itqueenNina Bo'nina Brown[S] 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Well I meant if you don't wanna read about cancer don't read it...I'm not good at snow flaking stuff. I'm trying though

[–]Oh1samaJaymes Mansfield 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

it was nice of you to try. you would think people would see your good intentions instead of jumping on the 'lets hate people who use the word trigger' train even though it's a perfectly legit term used in psychotherapy.

[–]fkkknAlaska Thunderfuck 5000 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Don't bother trying lmao. This ain't tumblr.

[–]rosebananaNina Bo'nina Brown 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

There's no need to try here though bb (:

[–]drownedinspace 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

why?

[–]dsaitkenJaymes Mansfield 20 ポイント21 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Please don't bring that stupid trigger warning thing here

[–]BoomBoomGunPeppermint 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (18子コメント)

What's triggering about cancer? Why would someone get mad at the mention of cancer if it is actually the case, am I missing something? Unless you meant like it will trigger sadness because its horrible.

[–]swiftandmercilesskarma is a sparkly bitch 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I can see how it can be triggering because it is so horrible to lose your loved ones to cancer. But let's be realistic. You can't screen it out of your life, it's everywhere. Should the Komen foundation stop making pink ribbons to encourage awareness because they are triggering? I lost my best friend of my entire life to cervical cancer AT FUCKING 39. They don't come any better than her, a once in a lifetime person. I've lost family members. My mom, aunt, and several close friends have survived breast cancer. One of my friends lost her mom to breast cancer 2nd go around and her SRSLY FUCKING COOL aunt at 40 to skin cancer. FUCK CANCER.
But if it's touched my life that many times, I'm guessing 90% of the group here has a similar history. Of course it gets people upset, but that group of upset people is pretty damn large so I'm not stepping on eggshells talKing about it because it brings awareness. I now tell all of my girlfriends to get their pap smear regularly, a mammogram if age appropriate or family history. When my neighbor asks for donations for their breast cancer walk, I don't break down crying in front of her, I write a check. I might cry later and what's wrong with that?. There's no emotional bubble wrap, we all need a fucking helmet that you build over a lifetime of seeing this monster take your loved ones. If I'm the next one to get bad news and some fragile flower tells me not to say the word cancer I'll bitch slap them.

If you got thru this rant and are reading, Eureka, I wish the best for you and your family, blessings to you both. I hope for fast healing for your mom and successful treatment. Bless you for being there.
I know your mind will be on her, but I hope you also find joy in seeing your season and realize the joy you bring to others. Good luck and if you need support please reach out, it will be there for you.

Nobody is telling people not to talk about cancer. There is a difference between strictly raising awareness and somebody talking about the pain they are going through with a family member's cancer. I've lost lots of family members to cancer too, and I can handle it, but I recognize that other people may not want to read it.

[–]robbysaurNina Bo'nina Brown 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (2子コメント)

It's just about having empathy. Some of us remember those days where our loved ones with lung cancer spoke their last words about how much they loved us, then had to be attached to a respirator for their last week of their life while everyone couldn't believe the situation. And that can be a lot to handle for some people. Thus, they wouldn't want to read this. But, if it doesn't affect you, it doesn't affect you. Just read the post, post your love, and move on. It's not a big deal.

[–]bead-itqueenNina Bo'nina Brown[S] 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (10子コメント)

I know a couple people who don't like to hear about cancer BC of bad memories. Like my husband if he sees a movie character have it or TV, he gets all sad, BC his mom died of breast cancer when he was 12

[–]BoomBoomGunPeppermint 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Ok that makes a lot of sense. Idk why I read it as people get angry at the mention of cancer but sadness is definitely understandable.

[–]Oh1samaJaymes Mansfield 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

do people think trigger means making people angry? tumblr really did ruin the term.
when it's used in therapy it literally just means a trigger like a button or whatever that generates a non voluntary response.
i think most people who actually have triggers it's related to panic, stress, fear, etc.

[–]wild_muses 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes, they mean trigger sadness/bad memories. That's how PTSD works. I watched my sister die from cancer at 19, and for years, mentions of cancer brought me straight back into that room, hearing her labored breathing, nurses running around, holding her hand until it felt cold...

So as someone who's actually been thru this, I appreciate OP giving a warning.

This is awful, my mum is going through the exact same thing right now - I hope Eureka can still manage to enjoy her time in the spotlight when Drag Race starts despite these personal issues :(
