Cancer Don’t Care | Thankful Thursday
For far too many years, we have had several relatives affected by cancer, mostly breast but lung and colon cancer has also reared their ugly heads. We watched them go through treatment, recovery, get worse, become survivors or die. Cancer don’t care who you are, where you live, or even how you live.
Lung cancer has taken the lives of smokers as well as non-smokers and breast cancer invades the bodies of men as well as women and for far too long.
We have watched the deterioration of some and dealt with the sudden death of others. We have grieved as a family and attended the funerals and memorial services. Cancer don’t care about any of this.
My mother-in-law battled colon cancer, she put up a good fight, in and out of Hospice Care for over a year until her small frame, weighing less than 100 lbs could no longer take it…she died on Saturday August 31, 2013.
“You have cancer” is a phrase that no one ever wants to hear, especially a healthy, active, non smoking, non drinking man who is entering his next phase of life. Retirement papers signed after 32 years with the State of Delaware…now onward to that 2nd half of life and getting a start on the “honey-do” list.
Cancer Don’t Care!
Colonoscopy began at the age of 45, he ate little to no red meat, exercised daily, had a happy life with a happy wife and kids in slow suburban Middletown, DE.
Cancer Don’t Care!
Years of pain and an irritable bowel, yet, no detection of cancer, until one specialist working in God’s favor does an endoscopy and there is was hidden in the small intestines.
Cancer Don’t Care!
Diagnosed on the 21st…surgery on the 26th with no signs it has spread, and guess who’s home today!
God is Good and
I AM THANKFUL!!!!!!!!!
God is truly a good God … a healing God and He is worthy of all praise. I am so thankful right along with you for your good report. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you my dear friend – God has always answered my prayers!
Another reason why we have to go with our own feelings and not what doctors say when we know/feel something isn’t right! Praises that he is on the mend and home!
So true as we are the only ones that truly knows our bodies, which is why I made an appointment to see mine tomorrow – this is more than food poisoning- I am still sick – 8 lbs lost since Saturday!
Not good! Could also be stress from what’s been going on with hubby. Hope all goes well
Wonderful post. Thanks for share and lots of love 🙂

Cancer is one of those things that truly impacts all of us and knows no boundaries. 🙂 I bet it’s more than just great to have him home today.
Yes, cancer doesn’t discriminate and cares for no one, I am more than over-the-top-thankful and happy that he is home and on the road to recovery. Happy Thankful Thursday!
Sharing, Caring & Being forever Thankful is what we need to be my Sista. I am so happy that you have something to celebrate right now & for the rest of your lives.
Amen and Amen. I knew in my heart of hearts from the day he told me that God had it and he would be okay – thankful to know that it was so! Happy Thankful Thursday!
What a wonderful post! Cancer truly doesn’t care and it could happen to anyone. I watched my grandmothers die from cancer- one hand lung cancer and the other breast cancer.
