Here’s a reply that will get all of you upset

I think cancer is a good thing.. Yes it takes away many people that we care about. Trust me I know.

But knowing from PERSONAL experience, cancer is a good thing. For people who manage to "survive" cancer it makes them stronger people. It gives you a glance of life, and makes you mature a lot faster.

I had cancer, I’m pretty much okay now. 4 of my 'best friends' have died from cancer, it hurts I know.

When I became "cancer free" in grade 5 I had the best teacher, his name was Mr.Bygate ... I found out when I was in grade 11 that he had cancer. He passed away a while ago, it hurt like nothing imaginable. He was the teacher I had when I became "cancer free", and he ended up dying from it. You know how upsetting that is??

I had my best friend died in the middle of the night and he died in his dad's arm's ... his little brother was crushed along with everyone else that knew him

Then there's Michael Cuccione, he was a friend too. He didn’t die directly from cancer, but it was a result of having some much treatment.

... But I guess I’m just saying yes it does suck - it really sucks a lot. But you cant 'hate' something that cant be 100% of the time gotten rid of. Its disease, its main purpose is to get rid of people - but sometimes it doesn’t work.


As for finding a cure for cancer, I think its still going to be quite a while. Because there are so many different kinds of cancer, quite a few I could sit here and list them all off but really it’s not necessary. But in time I’m sure it will come.

And about misdiagnosing, or not diagnosing - a lot of kinds of cancer can appear as different disease ... they thought I had an appendix-situs ... they were wrong.


I guess I’m just on a different side of the picture then all/most of you - it’s just a way of looking at a situation.

I understand that.

I haven't really been directly affected by cancer myself, but I can understand how it affects other people. There was an amazing teacher in my highschool who survived breast cancer, and she was an incredible person. My grandpa managed to get past a bout of prostate cancer, and my aunt had a bit of breast cancer, but the doctors managed to get it out.

In response to what you said, I think that goes for any affliction, but it can go two ways. Whether it is cancer, or having to deal with any long-term illness, or even being treated for a twisted spine, or crooked legs, or no legs, or blindness, or deafness, or anything that makes people different, "special," unique, in need of extra care. There are two ways people deal with it; either they sink into a depression, become bitter, angry, and hate the world, and curse the day they were born....or they rise above, realise the gift they have of experiencing wonderful things as well, having loving friends and family etc...and they appreciate life more, and accept that hurt, and disappointments and pain, and loss are a part of life, but can also bring about growth, and enrichment, and honesty, and compassion, and intense sensitivity and appreciation and receptiveness to and for human life, and human relationships. This is a rare and wonderful gift. The mixed blessing found in tragedy. Be grateful, be humbled, be well.
