The C word. Cancer.

It still causes anxiety and worry.

We have family and friends dealing with it. Last weekend we found out that another friend has got it.

With all our advances in technology, why is this one thing we haven’t beaten yet?

Why haven’t we developed the cure?

Is there a cure?

What causes it? How can we prevent it?

It seems healthy people get it. Unhealthy people get it.

Young people get it. Old people get it.

As a species, we have conquered so many things.

Predators. Environment.

But not this.

It’s the great randomizer.

The great equalizer of sorts.

Any one can get some form of cancer it seems.

Is it Nature’s way of telling us that we can’t conquer everything?

At some level, we’re still subject to outside forces, no matter how smart we think we are.

It’s not fair.

And the world’s not fair.

But…

Sometimes you just need to say it.

Eff you, Cancer.
