Cancer...

Cancer pisses me off
its a cruel heartless act of torture
That attacks all of us in one way or another
I hate it,despise it...and
Pray for a cure

Author notes

    Short - and to the point. Concise - well put. Reading this got me thinking about the people I know who have - or had - cancer. Right now a friend of mine is going through chemo for a form of brain cancer - incurable. All the chemo is doing is extending her life, another is going through treatment for some kind of bowel cancer. This is her second time - she was cancer free for 10 years. My aunt had breast cancer. Lifestyle only seems to be part of the equation with this disease. It hits anyone, anytime.

    awareness and early diagnosis, would atleast help to cure it, when it is just in early benign stage.
    taking for granted or not giving careful attention to it, till it reaches a cureless malignant stage, is very pathetic

    But still cancer is cancer and it may happen even without a particular cause ... hopefully research studies would soon come with ways to fight the dangerous disease

    and your unyielding hope reflects in the write, even as you vent your frustrations

    emotional write ... in crisp words

    All we can do is pray for the cure of all types of cancer because I know first hand about having had cancer and only at 25, I know what its like. Not many know this but at 20, i got breast cancer and luckily it shrunk with kemo, went away and stayed away but the thought of it returning remains in my mind but i dont allow it to consume me a whole lot. So in essence this is a good damn piece youve written

    It certainly would be nice to find a cure for entropy and random degeneration.

    I know how you feel I lost my grandfather to lung cancer three years ago. It was a torturous and very painful ordeal. He never complained, he was courageous to the end. It broke my heart but I know he's resting now in a better place. He was such a wonderful person. Everyone who meet him only spoke kindly of him. That is how I think about him. The person he was and the extraordinary life he lived. Thank you for sharing this write. Loventutu/love inspires me

    Great vent piece which I believe we should all be allowed. You have been touched by so much, and loss is painful in any form, but I've seen cancer take it's toll on life. I've been the hospice caregiver staying with the loved one and the family until the last moment. It's a cruel disease and there is no comfort for anyone. I've had the honor to meet amazing people with more strength than I had, as they endured the pain and I only wiped their brow and injected the meds or turned their body trying to find a comfortable position that would never be found. Good luck with this piece and thank you for sharing it. I add my prayers to the rest, that a cure will be brought forth rapidly so others will not die needlessly. You are an amazing woman with great courage and strength...more strength than you realize, but...it's ok to take time and just vent or cry too. Be well.

    Powerful!

    * Sigh * I am a 2 time survivor of cancer I out lasted liver cancer and brain cancer and I feel apart of me every time I have lost while I wa sbattling it with my all. CVancer is a sore subject for me and many others but you really write it like it is. Cancer is not something anyne would ever desire or ever want and I appreciate you writing this poem although it mad eme choke with tears after what I went through battling cancer and losing close friends and family members to cancer yet I survive.d It isn't fair Cancer that is how it hits us all with practically no warning and some are so bad there are no cures. It just isn't fair that everyone is doing all these researches yet we can't go to the Ocean's depth grab a few species and place our brainics to figure out common cures that make sense. Sorry I am lashing out when I shouldn't!! I respect you for writing this poem and I praise your poem and I just hope we find a cure soon because otherwise millions more will die from it and that is something I hope I never see! The sadest thing about cancer is when it hits the youngest children you ever woulda thought never could ge tit at such a young age. May we all fight and help encourage others to keep spirits up and heads up as well during the tough battles cancer brings! Thankas for poasting this poem and Good Luck! You made me smile at the hope that a cure is found some day!

    s Cancer is one of those things that terrify me, because it seems that no matter what I do or how careful I am or how much control I seek over my life... this disease in its many forms can take all control over my health and well-being away from me. It is one word that can strike dread that echoes through not just the affected person, but throughout their family and friends as well.

    We all have the right to hate, despise and declare war on this ugly, vicious kind of growth that threatens everyone, regardless of age, race, religion or wealth.

    s es and much to you and always best wishes...

    Mmmm, you have picked something more profound than I have that gets you down - makes mine sound a bit trivial (it is in comparison). Let's hope that they do find a cure real soon for the big 'C'.

    I hate cancer as well, and also pray daily for a cure. It is a haunting disease that is eating away at society. It's hard for me to believe that they can send astronauts to Mars and cannot sure cancer.

    I know some may frown on what I have to say here, but cancer is big business. As long as there is no cure hospitals can make money by their use of chemo and other so-called retardants that burn us up from the inside out. I do believe the cure is within us, some cell, enzyme or antibody that is in the human body. Just a feeling, I have no medical background to base my belief on, just a feeling.

    My mom had cancer, stopped taking chemo and radation, and has been in remission for 26 years, maybe longer. I understand the vent and vent with you. I needed to read this Deena because I feel the very same way. Let's hold each other up in these hard times.

    All My LOVE,
    Renee
