News Paper thingy

I went into the attic, and was looking around (Which I probley shouldn’t have done) and, found one of Greg’s old head wrap things, from when he lost all of his hair. I remember how ashamed he was when he shaved it all off. And I remember laughing at him, and him saying "Wait until I stick gum in your hair, and you have to shave it all off!" Yeah, that hit me deep right there..So I just got online and started surfing the web for Cancer survier stories adn stumbled across this….

Beyond Belief! The No. 1 Cancer Myth

The No. 1 cancer myth is believed by 41 percent of people surveyed is that surgical removal of a cancer can cause it to spread throughout the body. The second most common misconception is that a cure for cancer already exists but is being withheld from the public in order to boost profits. That’s the word from a new survey conducted by the American Cancer Society in Atlanta of 957 randomly selected adults who had never been diagnosed with cancer. (I found this at Netscape.com I belive..) 

*Sigh* For one I don’t belive this shit. Many people have gotten cancer and have gotten it removed. And it’s come back. Example my step-dad. Just because those docter’s say it’s not that possible doesn’t mean shit in my eyes. It can happen. Alot to. Stupid docters.Anyway.. If the cure for cancer exists already, then damn it all. I will be pissed that they could have saved so many lives, but they never told anyone about it because someone is to stupid to relize it. Or just enjoys watching people die. Makes me sick. I also stared reading people’s websites, about how they survived and all..It brought me to tears, how strong people are. I read this one about a man who had stomah cancer and even through the radation and Chemo, he helped as many people as he could. He died in early 2001. There was another about a man that survived (But later died, from old age.) and his daughter wrote about his story. How he helped people, and refused to give up even after 2 brain surgreys.  I remember Greg’s brain surgrey. I wanted to go with him, and everything. But he laughed and said that only the  docters and him were allowed in. And I wanted to stay with mom but I remember Greg telling her to make me go to school. And, we came back that night, and I remember going into Subway and getting his favorite..A meatball sub..with cheese and olives, I belive. And I ran in ther to give it to him. He hated the hospital food. I ate it though, wasn’t that bad..Not the best in the world but still tolerable. I remember he was all excited to stay at the main hospital in Ft. Myers, instead of the crappy one in Cape Coral. Man. I know both hospital’s like the back of my hand. We use to stay there late nights, and mom and him would talk. And they made me leave because it wasn’t for my ears. And I went into the t.v. room, and fooled around on the computer. He knew all the nurses.. They were all so nice to me. I remember walking around looking at all the people in the cancer section..They were all really old too..Mom told me off for walking around so much. I think I have been in every little nook and crany in that place. *sigh* That’s probley why I hate hospitals. The smell, just makes me cry. And I can’t even eat the food. My friend told me we should work in a hospital. I couldn’t handle that. Even though it’s not the same hospital, and it’s 4 states away, I don’t want to even think about it. At all…

I know how tough it must have been for you. I’ve had so many friends & relatives have to stay in hospitals. Everytime I go in there, the smell just brings back so many horrible & painful memories. God, my dad, Aimee, my mom, my grandparents, Aimee’s sister, & so forth; just some people I’m really close to that have been in there. It’s hard. I’m glad you’re ok, though. Toodles. -Irma

Cancer is the meanie of america. Thanks for your note.

That’s really sad, I’m so sorry. I’ve seen a lot of people beat their cancer though, and fight it. RYN: Yeah, love kinda sucks sometimes, but it’s what makes life worthwhile… xo

Thanks for the note. I understand how you feel darling. If you evern need to talk. Just let me know.

No-one debates with the fact that cancer can come back once it’s cut out, the myth is just that cutting it out actually causes it to grow.
