  Those are two different things - I have zero faith that they will be decent about it, but still hope that they are...
context: In addition to destroying cancer cells, chemotherapy impairs natural antibodies and undermines the body’s immune system. I am advised that it also causes hair loss and weight gain (although I am still holding out hope for the kind that causes hair gain and weight loss).
  
  I'm glad he's keeping a positive outlook and is cracking jokes >
  
  I thought chemo would cause weight loss. >
  
  Steroids are used in chemo for lymphoma. Causes weight gain. >
  
  Jamie has had poor luck over the past few yrs. Son dies, Jan 6, and now his own cancer. I truly hope he recovers quickly. He's a good dude and deserves nothing but happiness. >
  
  Oh that’s awful. I can’t imagine. >
  
  Fuck cancer. :( >
  
  You know what fucks cancer? Holding cancer causing polluters and corporations accountable. We are still being sold carcinogens for profit in almost every product on the store shelves and it is in a lot of the air we breath and water we drink. Then we pay for the research to fix it with our tax dollars to just be sold the cure from another corporation many times for the rest of our lives. We are not helpless. >
  
  Jesus. This guy can’t catch a break. 
  I hate that for him. But I admire the hell out of him for doing what he’s done while undoubtedly going through this personal battle as well. 
  He’s a bastion of strength and I hope only for the best for him. >
  
  Last week, I learned my uncle may have cancer. It fucking sucks. >
  
  I would actually say not having to worry about medical costs or losing a paycheck is a huge break to catch. >
  
  Oh, fuck. I hope he heals up quickly. I hope the right also isn't disgusting about this. >

  You have more faith in them than I, friend.
