Why?-
Why not?

Its not an easy topic, just wondering why you would start it on a whim.

Just because it isn't easy doesn't mean it shouldn't be discussed.
Ok - I'll start.
I don't know anyone personally who has had cancer other than my cousin who I don't know very well.
She had a rare form of cancer in which the fetus of her unborn baby turned cancerous.
Luckily she survived.
I know of a couple other people in my family's distant relations who has had cancer.
My step mom’s brother has rectal cancer and has been battling with Crohn's Disease.
There was a lady at work who's brother died from skin cancer. She actually picked up another job to help support her brother and his family financially, which I think is amazing. I have so much respect for her because of that.
I'm sure that someone in my current family will have cancer at some point. -
I never said it shouldn't be discussed.

I lost my mom (throat), dad (lung) and brother(everywhere) to cancer.
I had ovarian cancer about 12 years ago and beat it.
In each case it was a very trying time in my life.
Death in general whether it be to cancer, a auto wreck etc is somewhat difficult. But, it exist and shouldn't be ignored. -
Is there any family out there that has not been touched by cancer?
I doubt it. My blog is about my husband's battle with Colon Cancer

Cruel disease.

I lost my grandfather to lung cancer....I wish I could fig out how to stop that disease,I'm sure its not done with us yet -
My mom died three months ago from pancreatic cancer. She died two weeks after she got her biopsy results. I never knew it could take someone down so fast. Cancer is an awful way die.-
that must have been awful.

My dad died from lung cancer 2 years ago this month. I remember being so horrified and shocked, even though I knew it was terminal. He was intially given 9-12 months to live, but ended up in hospital after 5 months. He deteriorated before our eyes within a few weeks and was gone. It was awful. I remember feeling very robbed - that he should have had another Christmas etc, that he didn't get the time he was promised. Mad really. There is nothing predictable about this illness. Evil.
