Cancer

The dreaded c-word, it stops you in your tracks, it chills you to your very soul. You forget to breathe. In my case, I've watched this monster destroy so many people, I've seen it eat them body, heart and soul. Body battling for it's very existance against something it could never anticipate an invasion from, heart and soul trying so hard not to give up any hope they had.

Tonight I lost another person to this. She was told her cancer was terminal, and terminal it was. It managed to take her from this world within a month of being diagnosed. She'll now rest alongside her husband, robbed many years ago by the same disease.

We need to keep fighting, to find a cure for this monster.
