ORIGINAL: siouxie injustice. the fact that my 7 year old cousin has a brain tumour which when first suspected the family were told was just a virus. most of it has been cut out, but some has been dislodged (forgive me for not knowing the medical term) and they can't do anything more except chemotherapy. i've experienced a lot of shit, but not a 7 year old with cancer, dammit. Awwww.... that is just plain wrong! Illness is bad enough but when it happens to a child, there is nothing worse (in my opinion)... I know 2 women who have cancer, no chance to beat it. One of the ladies is in "stage 4" of breast cancer (I don't really know what that means but I guess it's bad), she told me that if I knew anyone who had anything suspicious feeling to get a biopsy right away, mamograms don't always show cancer. Her gyno told her to lay off the caffeine and that it probably wasn't anything to worry about ... (now 2 yrs later, lawsuit pending). She'll be leaving a son in high school and a husband behind. The other lady "thought" she had it beat a few years back, ooops, guess not, it's back and it's back w/ a vengance, they say nothing can be done now.... she will be leaving small grandchildren and grown children along w/ a husband behind. They just recently retired too. All those situations suck!
