Cancer pandemic
Yesterday I snowshoed with my oldest friend - He asked me to drop his ashes where we were walking. Lung and brain. Last night I heard my cousin has cancer - breast, along with another friend who has just undergone radiation - breast. Two musician friends, one dead - brain, the other hanging in there, leukemia. Next door neighbor and friend, lung and brain. Producer and close musical friend Monday informed of stage 4 throat. Partners father - lung and brain bout a year ago, passed. away.
I'm sure many of you have similar stories. This past week has been horrendous having lost another long-time friend to mental illness.
Some folk roll their shoulders and say we are getting old, and this what we can expect. I guess.
All this suffering close by has left me drained, sad, and wondering. One in two of us now - 50% will get cancer.
There's lots to worry about. War. Climate change. Economy. And cancer....
Trying to remain positive, but I can see from my posts that I'm not being 100% successful.
Sorry.
