Cancer is a terrible thing

Cancer is a terrible thing, it strikes at the most innocent, and most loved people. It's deadly, and it's painful, and it ruins many family's lives every year.

I just recently lost my granddad to cancer, cancer of the stomach. I'm sad to say, he died a painful death, and it took a long time for him to finally pass. We were told we had a year, that year soon changed to 1 month.

Race for life, is a uk charity, where people are sponsored to run a set distance, and raise money for research into cancer. The more money, the more research, and the better chances of finding cures, and better ways for dealing with cancer. It's a race where only women can run, both my mother, and her sister (My granddad was their father) are running in the race, if you could spare just £2 about $4 to the course, we can beat her target of £100

You can donate http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/nikibillingham

thank you

a close relative of mine died last year from cancer. And also my mom's good friend is dying too. She is such a nice person. We thought she was fine, but then the cancer struck again and even worse than before, her husband got the results back and he called their daughter and just cried at the other end of the phone. Only weeks to live. It's awful, i wouldn't wish it upon anyone. If i had a credit card or even money now, i would donate. I will try though.

Cancer
Turn away,
If you could get me a drink
Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors,
My sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you,
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you.

Now turn away,
'Cause I'm awful just to see
'Cause all my hairs abandoned all my body,
Oh, my agony,
Know that I will never marry,
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know

That if you say (if you say)
Goodbye today (goodbye today)
I'd ask you to be true (cause I'd ask you to be true)

'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
