What is cancer? Is it merely a disease or a zodiac sign? It is much more than that.
For a survivor of the disease, it is a road bump that they have overcome.
For someone struggling with the disease it is probably the hardest thing they are dealing with.
For some, it is what GOD planned for them to finally meet him.
What about the people that are living with someone with cancer?
When a family is affected by cancer, it is debilitating not only for the one with cancer, but also for the family.
In 2010, my dad was diagnosed with cancer and passe away 10 months later.
Although hard, I am thankful for the time i got to spend with him.
One thing that is never really talked about is that time when someone is waiting for the results of their tests. Whether their life will change or stay the same. That terrifying time between "We think you may have cancer and would like to perform a biopsy" and "I'm sorry to tell you this, but we were right."
When I lost my dad, this was just about the only thing on my mind. It is easy to describe how I felt, but how did he? I can't imagine how scared he was... or maybe he was the opposite? Thankful?
It's hard to know, but I like to think that when he entered through the pearly gates none of that mattered anymore.
R.I.P. Daddy
I love you
