As WordPress continues to recycle old prompts, I pulled another prompt from The Coffee Monsterz Co to respond to today

Which disease known to humankind do you hate the most?

This is an easy one. Cancer. I hate cancer more than any other disease known to man.

It gets pretty personal with me and cancer. The old man died of cancer. Mother is a 10 year plus cancer survivor. My aunt on my mom’s side, and my dad‘s mother also died of cancer.

I don’t know any patients personally, but my heart absolutely goes out to those pediatric cancer patients. I mean, how can I not?

Jesus, does anybody like cancer? I think that is one thing that pretty much all humanity can agree on. Cancer sucks.

The Reverend, an old friend of mine from college, who I think I’ve talked about in the past on this blog, it’s currently living in California. He went to school to study cancer. I remember one time he was telling me that sharks are completely immune to cancer.

Every now and then I’m coming, you hear those conspiracy theories that “they” have a cure to cancer, and that they don’t release it because the healthcare industry makes too much money off of people dying of cancer. I hope to hell that is not true. If it is, that is a very sorry statement for humanity.

But to end things on a positive note, I am absolutely floored by the amount of information. We do actually have about cancer today. There’s a lot of people who end up getting treated for cancer and go on to live very normal lives. In many cases, it’s not a death sentence anymore. I look forward to the day when cancer, in any and all of it’s various forms is just a thing of the past.
