How could I give myself stomach cancer?

[Aura Brewing]

Okay, this is a deeply insensitive question, I know. I've lost family to cancer and I know it's a very awful thing- but I've thought to myself, how could I die in a way that my family could better come to terms with? Whenever I plan my death, I'm riddled with the knowledge that my family will tell themselves "If I just did things differently/If only I paid more attention/God how could I let her do this/etc" basically, I know very well that they will find ways to blame themselves, and I don't want that. They've gone above and beyond to help me, but I just can't be saved. So, as I said before, this seems like an insensitive thing to ask, but I just want to find a way to make the aftermath of my death a little easier on them. I'm also hoping that if I can get any solid answer on a realistic way to do this- I hope of the types of cancer, it could be narrowed down to stomach cancer? For other reasons it feels like the right type for me to get. Again, I know this is an odd thing to ask and you may call me an idiot if you must, but it just feels like a better option than letting the police tell em they found my mangled corpse on the train tracks

I think that if there was a way to do this, you would hear of suicidal people doing this and it would have been discussed on here before. I have never heard of anyone giving themselves cancer, I doubt that it would be possible, it sounds difficult to do so. Your feelings are understandable though. Suicide by train sounds so horrifying. I hope that you find relief from your suffering, I'm sorry that you are in this situation.

Stomach Cancer is declining among most Western countries, therefore what you propose is pretty unrealistic---Anyway,You can't just make yourself get cancer--My mother smoked 40 cigarettes a day for 65 years and didn't die until she was 90! and that despite the fact that smoking increases your risk of getting 13 different cancers---Obesity increases your risk of getting 10 different cancers--So forget it

Cancer is mostly genetics and also certainly not a nice way to go

Yeahhh I was sure this was the answer I'd receive, but no harm in asking if there's any possibility- Y'know, growing up I was terrified I'd get cancer because my mum always told me that cancer skips a generation in our family so one of her kids or my cousins were bound to get it, and then one day I developed bumps on my head the same as my aunt had developed some on hers as she got cancer. As a kid I hoped so badly nothing would come of those bumps, now all I want is some sort of fatal illness

Quite a lot of my family members passed on by cancer, and I have tried many painful methods that I survived through and had to recover from- pain is not a deterrent for me, being as kind as possible to my family is

Lo unico q se me ocurre es q estes expuesto a altos niveles de radiacion pero necesitas de material radiactivo o vivir cerca de una central atomica aun asi no es garantia de nada

The "cancer is genetic" theory is bullshit.

@O.P. It's well known that many toxic substances, and also many different pathogens cause cancer. Your family won't be less traumatized by seeing you die slowly from cancer, as opposed to knowing you committed suicide. I do not endorse either.

At least you're cognizant about this being highly insensitive. Good luck to you.

The poster you replied to didn't say "cancer is genetic". They said "mostly genetic" and I get your point. The way it is described fails to recognize that cancer is highly driven by genetics.

I've thought about similar situations and tried the "Im going to drink myself to death" but after about 4 months and talking with friend is a recovering alcoholic I learned it's a very messy path to take.

cancer is highly driven by genetics.

Cancer is not caused by, or driven by genetics. They've been trying to use the genetic model to explain cancer for over half a century, and it's quite simply not true. That's why it's been nothing but a dead end.

Even in the lab when they breed mice that have no immune systems, ones that grow cancer much more easily, they always still need to inject them with "cancer cells" first to give them cancer.

Saying that genetics are at fault, is just a way to subvert attention away from the true causes and etiology of cancer.

There are many possible causes but leading causes of stomach cancer are: toxic materials, high red meat intake, and pathogens (certain fungi including candida, viruses such as HPV, and multiple different bacteria- H. Pylori being the most common.

CT scans are probably much more dangerous than is officially said because they're looking at Atomic bomb victims and not real studies about CT.

Go to a poor country and pay for several scans of the stomach. Your chances will probably mostly increase your risk of leukemia and lymphoma, but probably solid cancers too.

You would have to eat foods high in chili accompanied by foods preserved in vinegar until you start to feel the symptoms. This may take a while. I do not know if other types of cancer are "softer" so that the suffering is less severe. However, people suffer too much from cancer. I understand your desperation, friend.

Maybe you can try to eat samething radioactive? I don't know if that can actually works but i don't have any other idea, srry.
Hope you found some scape for your suffering, good luck.

I have cancer and I don't think it's an insensitive question. When your body is creating cancer it will take at least 5 years to get the first symptoms. So even if it is possible to give yourself cancer, you'll have to wait long time.

A close death in the family is always traumatizing- I'm not saying cancer would be any less, I'm saying that at least they could take solace in the fact that it'd be a disease beyond their control, so they'd have no thoughts or regret, thinking they could've stopped it somehow

I agree all of that stuff matters significantly. Genetic vulnerabilities differentiate people who get diseases under the same circumstances. As well as why some young children who aren't exposed to many carcinogens get cancer. There's no taking that out of the equation. They're starting to identify genes which make people more susceptible to lung cancer which explains why some people smoke like a chimney into their 90's and others don't make it out of their 60's.
