Loosing friends to cancer really sucks.

I have lost so many friends and relatives to cancer, that it's hard to keep count. Some of them never drank or smoked yet cancer took them anyway. My friend Linda B lost her fight but was such a brave and kind person, who told me about her journey late into her treatment, she isolated herself and didn't want to be seen by anyone but her family. She was always a private person. My friend Mr. Dennis, refused to take chemotherapy treatments but he fought hard only to have cancer take him. My friend Audra K. was a lifetime church girl never drank or smoked, married the love of her life after the age of 50, never had children, was living a clean God filled life, yet cancer claimed her too. This past weekend we buried my sister in law who was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a year ago. The thing about her case, she went to a doctor for pain in her hip that turned out to lung cancer that had spread throughout her body, she was only 52. These are just a few of many close friends, I have to live without. I'm more mad than sad because I know there's a cure for cancer out there but drug companies would go out of business. My grief from losing my friends and family hasn't gone away, it creeps up on me when I least expect, a song, an aroma, memories of only the good times can bring the tears, the same way learning of their deaths brought tears.
