Cancer

my dad had cancer and won.

thankfully it was very localized and he came out stronger.

my friend's father-in-law had cancer and beat it.

he recently has been re-diagnosed with cancer.

now he's begun chemo

unfortunately, an expected length of life has been discussed.

i found out that a beautiful, young, lady i know has cancer.

she's fighting it.

and the fight is going well.

my mother-in-law's boss/friend passed away a couple years ago.

he had cancer.

it won.

a dear friend at church is a widow

due to cancer.

i have aunts who have fought cancer and won, only to have to fight again.

a dearly loved woman in our church fought the battle, 

valiantly.

but the battle proved too great for her weary body.

my aunt-in-law is currently battling the cancer in her body.

she is strong.

a wonderful man my husband worked with found out he had cancer.

he fought it, 

went into remission.

the cancer attacked again.

he married his love- what a day that was. 

but a short time after, his body couldn't fight anymore.

another man my husband worked with found out he had cancer, 

and has been given a life-expectancy.

one of my many 'other moms' growing up has fought cancer.

currently she's ahead, but her body's been through a lot.

i'm sure any of you who are reading this can think of your own stories, 

or are in the midst of fighting your own battle against cancer.

it hits us all.

it doesn't matter the cancer.

breast, pancreatic, lymphoma, colon to name only a few.

**these people are why i'm running in the Terry Fox Run on sunday**
