This F*cking Plague

[scarlettina]

jaylake provides more specific details about yesterday's cancer news.

Five weeks ago, the wife of my brother's best friend, a woman I've known since high school, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 4. She looked terrific at the wedding on Sunday. She is a fighter and she won't be taken down without doing everything she can to prevent, or at least delay, a fall.

I hate it, hate it, that they're having to go through this.

Both of these people are surrounded and supported by the most loving, awesome friends and family on the planet. They both have my love. I want them to survive and thrive.

I hope the treatment goes smoothly and everything is cured.

From your mouth to God's ears.

It is indeed a fucking plague. There is something horribly wrong with our world, that it is facilitating so much breakage in our cellular processes. Every time I get bloodwork or an MRI or a mammogram, I think, "Dodged the bullet again this time." But I feel like I'm sitting in the pit under the pendulum.
