I've watched cancer attack many good people in my life. It took my grandfather very quickly, my grandmother was able to have surgery remove hers, my stepfather is in remission and my mom is able to have her pre cancerous tumours removed this July before they develop any further. I found out yesterday a good ex-coworker/musician/friend is losing his battle.
I went through cancer testing last year, it was very scary. I chose to do it alone which was a big mistake because I started panicking as soon as I started getting the needles put in me and put into big machines. I thankfully do not have it, but it really makes you think of your own mortality. I've been trying to live a healthier life, but it seems almost impossible to find good information. What you're told is good for you one day is the worse for you the next, and why is healthy food so darn expensive? Why don't they spend more time finding out what's causing cancer and eliminate it instead of trying to find a cure (which I'm pretty sure they have, but that's another rant). Gimme a break, with all the crap that's thrown into our food and environment, you seriously don't think these awful diseases are inevitable? But hey, let's just fight all these problems caused my unatural things by introducing more unatural things to fight them. Makes sense to me *sarcasm font*. Sometimes I seriously hate being from this planet.
Anyway, my prayer for today is that I can see Fred play his bass again and we can chat about life over a rye and ginger. Hang in there buddy, you'll get through this!
