All of a sudden everyone has cancer... when did it become so normal for people to have cancer. Brain cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer... cough a little? It's cancer! Not that I'm that old, but when I was younger, it was very rare to know someone who had cancer and now, everyone's got it!
Two months back an aunt died, last month an uncle was admitted to the cancer hospital, last week, news is that Yuvraj Singh (Indian cricketer) is in the US getting treated for some sort of rare cancer and tomorrow, Mom is having a mastectomy. I don't know how exactly I feel about that just yet - in our house it's still jokes and smiles; we never make anything out to be a big deal. And because I don't want mom down and stressing, I don't want to talk to her about how she feels either. It's just easier for all of us to make jokes and smile it off like it isn't actually a big deal. "Losing a breast? No problem! You can order another one just like it!"
Oif - and there's this selfish part of me that wishes I wasn't here to actually witness the aftermath of it all. I know it's a terrible thing to think but the whole "out of sight, out of mind" would have helped... me.
A while back I read this crazy story where a woman actually coughed up her cancer... - http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/01/11/woman-coughs-up-cancer-tumour_n_1198862.html
