It is amazing to me how quickly something can come into your life and destroy it. That is what cancer has done to so many people. It has done it to my family several times. I bring this up today because my Aunt's best friend, a very well respected veterinary oncologist in Florida, has Stage 4 breast cancer and will be having a double mastectomy very soon. She has two young sons and has been going through Chemo at the same time with her mother who also has Stage 4 lung cancer. She never smoked!
As I was coming in to write about something totally different I saw that the astronaut Janice Voss passed away at the age of 55 of cancer. That is so young. Our family also lost my Great Uncle recently from brain cancer. It was a glioblastoma. The worst there is. He was only 65. Again, so young. He and his wife had been married for 44 years. She is now living on her own for the first time in her life in her sixties. Something she never thought she would have to do.
The can come up for an App for about everything but they can't come up for a cure for cancer.
RIP
