Cancer

Ok..before anyone gets upset..no I don't have cancer. I'm simply writing about it because whenever someone tells me that a friend or relative died and I ask "How did they die or were they sick?" 9 times out of 10 they tell me it was cancer. They say it so naturally too. It's becoming too common. Way too common..so common that it freaks me out. I don't generally have a fear of getting sick, but I do have a fear of cancer. Maybe people say or use the word cancer so easily..so off the cuff..because they have never watched someone die of cancer. I have. It was someone very, very close to me. Cancer shows no mercy. It's a disgusting what it does to someones insides and you don't die with dignity or grace..nothing like that. It's a fight till the finish. You don't even recognize that person anymore. I remember getting so angry that I wanted to just rip the cancer out of her.
You never see it coming (unless maybe you were a smoker or drinker). There isn't any real reason that it occurs..I mean..where the #*$*% does breast cancer come from? Some say it's genetic, but sometimes it's not..it's all a guessing game.
Big pharma wants us to believe that that the cancer rates are going down..I don't believe it for a second.
