I always thought that cancer was evil. It didn't matter who you were or how old you were it could strike at any moment. A good friend of mine lost his wife just 2 months ago to cancer. She was only in her mid 40's. Just too young. I always supported the Susan G. Komen foundation and this year, just a few months ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. Where does this disease come from? How did I get it? Why did I find my lump and others didn't find theirs? It's all a big unknown.
Now, I'm more aware when people pass from cancer. Today I just happened to see an article on Yahoo about a Venezuelan model that lost her battle to breast cancer. She was only 27 years old. The article just slapped me in the face and saddened my heart. Last month I was told that I was in remission. This month I had surgery and was told that it was a success but hearing this story about this young woman just makes me realize that life is so precious and that I'm so lucky that I found my cancer when I did and that it wasn't too late.
