This post is going to be short.
Over the past 24 hours, I have learned of the deaths of three — count ‘em, three — acquaintances who have died of their cancers.
None was what I would classify as a close friend so my anger and grief at their passing is nothing compared to what their family and friends are feeling. But I am angry. Very angry. All three were in the prime of their lives. They had family and friends who loved them. They had more to contribute to this world.
Yes, this post is short. But it could have been even shorter.
I hate cancer.

I had just signed an email with I HATE CANCER as your I HATE CANCER landed on my screen. Let’s just say it one more time…I HATE CANCER!
I am so sorry for your loss and the poor families that have to deal with this… I am a double breast cancer survivor (6months and counting) and I also hate cancer! What (or who) I hate even more is the one who (I believe) has caused all the evil and diseases and suffering in the world. Satan! I know not everyone feels this way, but I pray for the day when all these difficult times will just be bad memories and we will live forever in peace without tears or sadness. Rev 21:4. My love and prayers for all of us. Cory : )
I HATE CANCER too! I am so weary and sad from the loss of so many precious lives. I too have lost a dear friend in the last few days. One who many years ago was told that she had DCIS and did not need to do anything further. She did decide to have surgery and 9 years later it spread to her bones and then to her brain and once again a beautiful, vibrant, inspirational person whose smile could fill a room, who loved life and her family has been taken away much too young. I want it to stop!
Oh Kathy, I am sorry for your loss. I know the person you are talking about. She was one of the three that I mentioned. Cancer sucks, sucks, sucks.
I HATE CANCER.
