I just received bad news that one of my relatives is suffering from cancer. This is really a sensitive subject so I did not dig further, like what stage it is at or even what cancer it is.
You know, sometimes I wonder if people are born to suffer. I know there are many people who live till a ripe old age and never encounter any health problems but cases like these are really rare.
My own maternal grandmother died of cancer back in the late 1980s and I saw how she suffered, how she screamed in pain, and till today, I shudder just thinking about it.
I think that even if the patient remains optimistic, the chances of being totally free from cancer are really slim unless it is caught really early. My aunt had a cancer scare a couple of years ago. She found out early and got it arrested. Still, it must be quite frightening to live knowing that the chopper will fall anytime!
