Cancer
I wish I were talking about the zodiac sign cancer or any such other light hearted subject. But no, it is indeed abt the horrible disease cancer.
When I was in my III std. I lost my grandma to this dreadful disease. She had cervix cancer & by the time we discovered the same it was in the very advance stages. She was around 65.
When I was in my X std. I lost my aunt (mom's bro's wife). She was less than 35 when she died cos of breast cancer. And it was so sad to see her two young daughters, my uncle & her parents who were totally helpless.
About three years ago another aunt of mine (mom's sis) who I love dearly was again detected with breast cancer. Thankfully till date she is doing fine due to medication. But more than medication, she is one helluva lady who has gone very spiritual. (Infact she is my spiritual guru!). I pray that she does not succumb to this dreadful disease.
But right now the main reason for me to post on this dreadful post is cos the doctors are suspecting cancer of the liver for my dad. And it is so upsetting. The chances right now are 50-50 accordingly to them as they await the test results. And I am praying desparately for his well being.
When will our medical world ever find a proper remedy for this awful disease?

I am sorry you are having to go through such a scary time right now. I won't even presume to try and come up with comforting words, but want you to know I am sending positive thoughs to you and your dad, and will be praying for your family.
Part of the issue with cancer is that so much of it falls into that unknown zone. When we are unsure of what we are facing/dealing with it increases the fear factor ten fold.
Praying for peace and love for you.

hey, first time here!
You have a lot more chances of surviving cancer right now than ever before...but early detection and the overall health of the patient and strengths to go through the vigorous process of fighting cancer matters a lot. I'm sure things will turn out ok.
