This.... is my story (Cancer)


Cancer is well it's a bad word all around!  I know many out there have known someone who has/had cancer.
I learned about cancer at the age eight.  My cousin was born with Leukemia.  He was just two years younger than me and he was such a STRONG little fighter.  That little boy had a heart of gold and could put a smile on anyone's face.

My grandmother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 2006 and passed 2007 of a short but hard battle of this ever so ugly cancer.  She was the joy of my life!  I could not imagine not having her in my life.  She was the person I went to for anything that was goin on in my life.  I still  catch myself calling her number when I need some one to talk to or just to hear her voice.  Not to be a snob..... She was the best grandmother ever!   She had 9 children and my father is one of the 9.   My father was diagnosed in Feb.2010 and is now going thru his third year of fighting colon cancer.  My father is one of the best dads who has gone thru a lot in his life.  He raised my sister and I alone until he found a wonderful woman I call mom.  He is a fighter as all marines are!  Knowing he has invasive poorly cancer has crashed my world.  Staying positive has been ... Well hard at times.  Watching the most strongest man you have ever known in life have times that they hurts so bad and there is nothing you can do for them.  As he fights this ugly illness... He continue to work on cars.  Cars is his thing and if that's what keeps him going then I will let him play in the garage.
My mother was also diagnosed with cancer. SHe all tho has remained in remission since 2008.  She also has a few of her sisters have all fought breast cancer.
