Cancer

Cancer Sucks!!! No if, ands, or buts about it. Worse of all it is one of the few sicknesses in the world that affects all types of people equally. According to The American Cancer Society website over half a million Americans will be diagnosed with cancer this year. Of those cases, over two hundred thousand cases are breast cancer. Unfortunatly this is something I know way too well.

In 2003 my mom found out that she had breast cancer. I don't care how old you are or your mother is, this is something you never want to hear. Seeing her have to have the mass removed and go through radiation. Seeing the effects of the treatment just sap her energy. But she made it through. Just long enough to be told 18 months later that it may have come back. Now she has to think about stuff like Chemotherapy and mastectomy. While I have nothing but faith that she will make a full recovery I wish there were more options. I wish there was a over the counter drug a Doctor could just tell someone "Oh seems you have a little cancer, pickup some Cancer-be-Gone and it will clear up in week. And it in worst cases you could buy some Tera-Cancer and wake up th e next morning cancer free? I don't know how many nights I have spent unable to sleep looking at my dark walls recently wishing we lived in that world.

Treatment is not enough. Early detection just have lumps of flesh removed from your body and to thest Bruce "David" Banner's theory on becoming the Incredible Hulk isn't good enough. There needs to be a cure. So please go to The American Cancer Society website and look into helping causes like the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer . Help bring us one step closer to living in a world without cancer. For all our our mothers', fathers', brothers' and sisters' sake. Because the way I look at it, we shouldn't have to live in a world with cancer, we just have to right now.
