I wish I had all the answers as to why, when, and where cancer will strike next but I don't. I lost my mom when she was 19 and and I was 2 to cancer. I lost my my favorite cousin to cancer. She had a double mastectomy at 13 and lost her battle 35 years later. I lost one of my best friends to pancreatic cancer when he was 50. I lost another friend last year to pancreatic cancer after a two year battle. Last week I held my mother-in-law as she lost her 3 month fight with pancreatic cancer. There is no cure right now but there is a chance of a brighter day for those we lose to this terrible disease. In each case they found peace through knowing a loving God and believing they were going to a better place without pain or suffering. If you struggle with the loss of someone dear to you or feel you wont know how to cope when the time comes, let me tell you about a wonderful book that helped me as my mother-in-laws time drew near. It is titled "Glimpses of Heaven" and is written by a former hospice nurse. My wife works with research doctors who are trying to find better methods of treating cancer. Let's all pray our government restores the needed funding and that private pharmaceutical companies will continue their efforts without ceasing. Most of all pray for each other.
God Bless You All
