A shame..a leach..on society. It sickens me to no end.


She's no longer alive... you should have at least scrolled to the last page and a read post or two before having committed to a post like that. Quite insensitive even if she hadn't moved on.

Just terrible timing.


You go **** yourself.
This...crap steals from those most desperate and is beyond pathetic. This **** sickens me and a poor like herself.. its a damn pity.

Her passing is terrible. The ****ers trying to steal money from her loved ones for false hope....

Lock this ****.


Dude are you serious man. As a nurse you should know that this is a terrible thing to say to a person that's in grieving. I'm not a nurse but I worked in the medical field before and we were taught discretion and to be respectful. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm cynical about some of the practices that are done in the medical field myself, but there's a time and place for everything. Your beliefs and opinions don't belong in a place of mourning.

I'm sorry for your loss OP.

I remember reading this two years ago. It really touched me, and she seemed like a really nice person. Kind of sad now even though I never met her. My condolences.

I get what you're saying. I have the same anger towards psychics who swear they know where missing people are.

But dude, time and a place.

You're right but this is not the thread IMO.

Feel free to make another thread against naturopathic remedies.

I agree with what you were talking about, but this is absolutely the worst time and place. As Choker said, as a nurse and medical professional you should know better.

I am out of words.. and don't know what to say. Typing this with a heavy heart.

I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who donated and provided kind words.

One of the greatest people I have ever met in my 26 years of breathing. I was able to tell her that.

Thank you


My sincerest condolence goes out to you and her family, but hey she's lucky to have you as her close friend that cares so much for her. It's a torture fam, cancer took away two of my uncles on my dad 's side and now another one from the mom's side is scheduled for chemotherapy.

Hope he wins this battle.

Gee, you'd think a registered Nurse would have better self control...

If you wanted to rant about it you could have started a separate thread on the OT Canada board. I mean, I don't necessarily disagree with you but this really is terrible timing. Looks like you've already been banned, though, so this is moot.

As a RN, perhaps you should show a bit more compassion. Your immaturity shows you are a recent nurse (if you aren't, you chose the wrong profession). Let me just break it to you, you have no knowledge of 'treatments'. You essentially have no medical knowledge at this time, if you did you would have gathered a lot of what was said in between lines on her fundraiser page.
Your statements above have really angered me, I don't want to type here how I really feel about it. I won't be able to take back once I have said them.
Humble yourself, if you feel you have nothing nice to say, just move along. No one needs to hear that garbage, especially after a loss.

Sorry to hear. I remember reading this story when it was first posted and donating to the cause, and it pains me to see that we were not able to do enough to give her the full life she deserves.

RIP Larissa

He needed a f'n journal or a tumblr blog or something. I swear, it's horrific to think that RNSTEVE felt obliged, due to his nurse occupation, to blurt out insensitive remarks.

Glad he'll have hissy fit somewhere else.


Anyways, sorry for your loss OP. Cancer just comes out of nowhere and destroys not only individuals, but their families and friends. Dear God I can only think of how it must of affected you, as my own sister had cancer. I hope you feel better and know that you're a great person for doing all you can for her.

I remember this thread :( I am so sorry for your loss. Cancer is a piece of shi* and takes too many good people too soon.

Thoughts and prayers with you, her, and the family.

You never really lose someone if they are always in your heart.

I appreciate the generosity and support yet again you guys. It means a lot to me reading this.
As for RNSteve... I'm glad he's been banned. Have a little respect. I understand he wanted to voice his opinion but wrong place, wrong time to do so.

At this time it hurts me I cannot attend the viewing nor the funeral. I live in a different province and just looked at the price of the flight there and I'm looking at about +$1000. With it being Thanksgiving weekend, it's understandable. What I will be doing is sending flowers on my behalf.

I'd like to thank everyone again for the kind words. Regardless if we all may be strangers to each other, you have my respect.

I think something needs to be done on a different level though. I had a godson who was affected by a rare but eventually deadly disease. He died at 22. It was really saddening, depressing.

His parents (including our support and other close family support) looked for alternative treatment but in hindsight it was being taken advantage of because there were no practical results, not better, not worse, just same. I think I understand what that RN was saying - as bad as it seems some people will try to take advantage of others at their weakest moment. They will use your hopes and lie and just take your money. And that is not right. Has happened to our family

Sorry if I offend anyone but based on my experience it is the truth.
