No, I don't have cancer, not that this is a new topic for anyone, but I just wanted to reiterate my thoughts on this subject. My granduncle died of throat cancer, my paternal grandmother died of breast cancer, my maternal grandmother died of cervical cancer and this week we found out that my paternal grandfather has a mass in his right lung that looks like lung cancer. I'm quite upset here! Why do people die due to this fatal decease?
Why can't we find a cure for this disease? I know it's not a lack of money for research cause everyone wants a cure for cancer. Why is it allowed to repeatedly take people from our lives? I was talking to my grandfather last evening and told him that we were going to beat this because he has to be around for all of us.
I realize I'm lucky to still have my grandfather is in his mid 80's and have always been in perfect health ... until now. He is the grandfather that gave me good food and pastry whenever I go back to my kampong in Fraser's Hill. The one who is an expert chef. The one who goes to town with his friends to have his morning tea every day. When I was young he was the one who came up to me and gives me pocket money. He will have lots of years ahead of him ... we just have to beat this obstacle that has been thrown in the way. Sigh...
