#beatcancer
I have a 36 year old friend that as I type this is lying in a hospital bed at Duke Raleigh Hospital, dying of what started as breast cancer but metastasized. Today she was only given a few more days to live but everyone, including myself, don't think she'll make it even that long. Since being diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer back in April, she has suffered a stroke, a blood clot in her lungs and a hole in her heart. Her cancer had spread to her brain and lungs. She was so weak today she could barely keep her eyes open. She was in so much pain that she kept moaning, loudly until the nurse brought her more morphine. I'm sad now but I'll come back, maybe, and add more later. We need to beat cancer... no if's and's or but's about it. We need to beat cancer. She and her 5 kids don't deserve this, nor do the other millions who have died from cancer.

Hey there, I am just seeing this. You are so right. A cure for cancer is one of the most important inventions that man could ever develop. My friend, Mary, died the following day. I went to her wake, it was just so sad. Her kids are so strong. I'm sorry for your lose. Thanks for visiting.
