One of my aunties will be undergoing surgery for breast cancer tomorrow. Another dear friend of my mom’s is deep in her battle. A dear and treasured friend’s mum just had surgery for uterine cancer last week. There’s more, but you get the point. I’ve watched cancer ravage friends and family and take a toll on people I love, this year.
I’ve seen people die of cancer and live after cancer.
I am sick of cancer.
Fuck cancer.
I feel worried and sad and filled with all manner of unspeakable fears about it and the people I care about. A lot of the time.
Today I found this post, about dealing with cancer.
And I just wanted to share it, in light of everything. Because it made me smile and cry and think and it is worth reading.

Cancer is the pits! It seems alot of it is going around these days. A friends husband was just give 1-3 months after such a valiant fight. So much, so sad.
