Not only is the Chief undergoing treatment for cancer, but a friend's MIL has a stage-4 diagnosis, and another friend at church was recently diagnosed and will soon start chemo. One of her daughters, also a church friend, lost her husband to cancer just a few years ago, so she's having a particularly difficult time of it.
Last week, a couple we know who for the past decade or more have done fund-raiser bike rides for cancer research came to the show I was teching. (She's a cancer survivor.) I shared about how VERY many people the Chief & I know who have had cancer, and how many we've lost to it. "Kill it with fire! Bury it with a mouthful of garlic and several stakes through its heart!"
This is the first January in 3 or 4 years when we haven't attended a funeral. When I start to think of all the people I've known who've dealt with cancer, I keep thinking of more - there are SO MANY. 😢
