My aunt (dad's elder sis) was diagnosed with cancer abt 2 mths back. When it was discovered, the condition was already quite bad. As such, she was only given 1 more mth to live. Fortunately, or not, she still survived till today. My parents just came back from visiting her in Msia, and said tt she's now just reduced to a pile of bones.
Just 10 minutes ago, my mom walked into the room, visibly shaken. I asked her what happened, in my mind guessing that my aunt didn't made it. No, luckily it was that. Ok it's not so lucky after all. My 2nd uncle's wife was also just diagnosed with cancer. Given 3 weeks to live if chemotherapy wasn't administered. She was extremely close to my mom, and thus i could understand why my mom was so sad abt the incident.
Everyone of my relatives are slowly dying....of cancer. My mom's sis was also diagnosed of cancer a few months back. But after chemotherapy she's still around right now, tho she totally lost her hair and weight too. My paternal grandmother died of cancer on my birthday 14 yrs back. My 4th uncle's wife died of cancer shortly after tt too.
I'm not exceptionally sad abt the fact tt they are dying. To me, everyone has to go thru this phase of life. Probably i'm alittle desensitized to pple dying around me. But the more important thing to be aware is the fact tt, cancer runs in my family. Big time. And it might be the same for u. Do urself and ur family a favour by going for checkups regularly. If detected early it will be curable.
Sad to say, for my dad's side, everyone's blinded by the materialistic side of life. Everyone is striving to make more and more money, and in the process they've forgotten abt their health totally. Sometimes it's good to take a back seat and just relax a little. Money can be earned, but life u've only got 1 chance.
This is probably gonna inspire me to write another song yet again. We'll see abt that.
