Cancer Sucks
Given all that we've been through in the last year, I've developed a professional opinion that cancer sucks. I've always been pretty sure about this but after losing Dad to it I'm 100% positive now.
Enter Amy. Not my Amy, but a friend's wife who recently found out she had breast cancer. I had lunch with him today and everybody always asks why we came home from Taiwan early and that of course leads to the "cancer sucks" discussion. But Greg had one up on me today.
Throughout the ordeal with Dad what petrified me the most was that it could've been me or Amy. It's a terrifying thought if you let it be. After talking to Greg about these thoughts he again had one up on me. He told me that Amy thinks the same way, only she thinks what it would have been like if it were her kids. Even more terrifying.
I've only met Amy once but this affected me so much that I thought I'd share it with you to get you thinking about the blessings in your life. If you get a chance, head over to her blog and read her ongoing story as she battles the cancer.

Ron,
Just found your blog! Thanks for the post, and yes... cancer does suck. Believe me, I wasn't trying to 'one up' you on comparing cancer stories.
This is just such an awful place to find ourselves in that I hit whoever the poor soul is that's listening with both barrels.
Amy has just finished up her third of four treatments. Next will be weekly treatments of an easier cocktail we're told so that will be an improvement.
Take care!
