Thanks for this reminder it’s not just society that suffers from cancer, nor just medicine which seeks the antidotes. My mom died of cancer, I think I will too. I just wish they’d hurry up with the research coz every generation in the 20th century thought we’d have it licked by now, like lots of other diseases. But they say the secret of life lies in the very solution to this one, so it’s been a harder nut to crack than quantum mechanics. Only ideas, (and feelings wrapped up in ideas), stand the test of time to gain a kind of immortality in the time-bound parade of brains and carcasses. Nothing physical really lasts it seems. I know I won’t. But I thank God for every goddammned day and increasingly see the wisdom of living each one as if it were the last.
Amen to what Rizalist just said.
I read once why so many good people
choose cancer and not the bullet or
the sword as the way to go back
where they come from. Let’s
remember the people who went by
cancer and who went by another way.
As we know them if it’s their
choice this people must be made of
sterner stuff.
word rizalist.
here’s a link from another journalist/blogger who’s dealing with cancer, ellen.

Through prayers, our burden is lightened.
