annnnnd cancer

so pneumonia was the least of our worries.
cancer is.

cancer in her lung.
on her liver.
maybe even the brain.


my uncle died from complications caused by his cancer medication.
my dad's dad died from cancer.
my aunt died from cancer.

...my mom has breast cancer and she is a poster child for early detection.
my cousin's little girl had cancer and is a survivor.


how is it possible that so many of us watch our family members have to go through this awful illness?
Is there really "more cancer" now or are we just better at finding out what is wrong with our family before it is too late?


There are millions of dollars being spent each year to "find a cure" with no cure to be found.  However, there have been plenty of advancements that are helping people find it earlier or get better treatments.


There are lists of SUPER FOODS that are suppose to help you keep cancer away, yet healthy people still get diagnosed with cancer every day.


Cancer isn't picky.  It will pick ANYONE. 
Healthy or sick.
Preventative or Self Inflicting.
Old or young.
Nice or Mean.


Just hold the ones you love.
Watch them closely.
Make sure you don't waste the life you have.



and if the time comes where you might have to cross cancer's long, rocky bridge...
