Cancer Sucks

I effing hate it.  I wrote in my Underwear Affair post that I was doing the race for my MIL.  She’s the kindest, sweetest woman I know.  If she saw me running in my underwear she would give me the shirt off of her back.  She’s the kind of woman who remembers what size myself and the kids wear, what we’re into, always gets us awesome things for Christmas and has even outfitted her house to make our visits with two small children comfy. She even rushed down from Ottawa to look after Sierra when I had Brooke, and while down she also cleaned my house and weeded my garden.  She is awesome. 

She had a hysterectomy for cancer a month ago.  We were hoping that would be it.  Unfortunately when analyzing her tissue, they found an aggressive form of cancer.  She starts chemo this week, then radiation. 

Why does cancer hurt all of the good people?  Why can’t all the child molesters get cancer?  Why can’t all the fuck-wats who abuse their wives get cancer?  Why the hell does it have to be someone so special, someone so awesome?

Cancer effing sucks. Suck-it cancer – I HATE you!

    I’m so sorry for this trial your family will have to face. No words can stop the pain but just know that you are not alone! Cancer does SUCK, and as a survivor I will tell you that she can BEAT the living crap out of it! I”ll be thinking of her :)

    Yup, it sucks, big time. And there aren’t a lot of people in the world who haven’t either suffered from cancer themselves or watched a loved one suffer from it – it’s not a club any of us want to be in but we have no choice. If there’s a silver lining, it’s that there are lots of people in the club and we can all help support you.

    Chemo and radiation both suck, but hopefully they’ll nail this thing and she’ll go back to being the best supporting actress in her friends’ and relatives’ lives – she sounds like a gem. Best wishes to her.

    And for you, having to watch and hope for the best: *hug*

    I am so very sorry.
    Having a loving and supportive family is seriously half the battle. You and yours are in my prayers.

    I feel your pain. I agree why can’t child molestors and wife beaters get this horrible diesease. I know my boys lost their Great-Aunt Brenda (my ex’s aunt) to cancer a few years ago. She was their great aunt in more ways than one. I still miss you Brenda!!
