Is it just me or does cancer seem to hit people who take care of their health more than others? A person very close to me was a hard working, clean living, non-smoking, exercising, abstemious mother of a fifteen year old girl, she was diagnosed with cancer and within eight months was dead, she was 39.
Meanwhile layabout dead beats who smoke like trains, drink themselves insensible every day, eat garbage and never move from the sofa seem to stay around for ever.
When my FIL got prostate cancer 18 months ago, my husband asked his doctor that very question. Dad was hale and hearty, no vices, worked out (at 85!!) and was more fit than most 30 year olds. The doctor told my husband that cancer seems to prefer a healthy body for some reason. We lost his Dad last November - devastating to watch him go from a specimen of health to a frail man in a matter of months.
Thanks. Not many people tell me I’m living right!
Cancer is no respector of persons,age ,fitness etc.My aunt,my uncle ,my mom ,I have had it twice and now my 30 year old second cousin has cancer.Young women need to know that it can strike as early as teens to early twenties. It’s not just “an old woman disease”. So many types of breast cancer.I was amazed to find that at my job ,the ladies thought there was only one kind of breast cancer! We all pray for a cure and SOON! But until then I wish more companies would pull the mammogram van up in their companies parking lots and offer free mammograms to their employees.I pray for a swift recovery for her and that she will be vigliant in the years to come.Breast cancer has an insidious way of returning.God bless her..
