Cancer Sucks...

Cancer sucks, it truly does. No, I'm not having a bad day, feeling fine today as a matter of fact. However, I keep hearing of others who have recently been diagnosed and it makes me not only sad, but furious! It's just not fair. Last night Luanne informed me that a high school friend (Lexy Winters) was just diagnosed with stage 4 Melanoma & has a few months left with us. Lexy was part of our crowd, good guy, wonderful family, raised with morals and values and everything else that makes you a good person. Why would he be chosen? I've come to grips with the fact that for some reason I have to walk through this, but why everyone else? Why Lexy?

We went to the store on Monday and the clerk wished me well, saying that she wished her mom (who also had breast cancer) was out and about. Instead, her mother chose to stay inside, secluded from the world, waiting to die. I was in shock, didn't hardly know what to say. I asked the clerk her mother's name and said that I hope she can find peace and a reason to try harder. I am now adding Jenny to my prayers, for I don't want this cancer to win.

For all those who have been touched by cancer in one form or another, please say a prayer to eliminate cancer someday. Between research and positive belief, I think we can conquer this demon. I truly do!!

Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie
