I’ve just recently discovered that the mother of a close family friend has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. Suddenly, I felt sadness not only for her mother but also for my friend who was obviously stricken with pain. Then my feelings shifted to worry as I imagined if it was my mother or someone else very close to me that was diagnosed with cancer. The very thought of it made me sick in the stomach. What if it was me that had it? Odd enough, I felt more concerned if other people had it than if I had it.
There were coincidences yesterday that reminded me that cancer is prevalent. At work, my workmate forwarded an email about lighting a candle as a tribute to Mrs McGrath who died of cancer and those struck with cancer.
Another incident was another friend happened to email me to ask if I still wanted to do colon detoxification or cleansing with her. Yesterday she thought about me as she was going to order her 2nd bottle. It was yesterday she remembered that I expressed my interest a while back about getting me a bottle of that colon detox concoction the next time around.
When I got home, guess what was waiting for me in my bundle of mail? An introductory magazine about foods that can prevent diseases especially cancer!
Anyone and everyone can have cancer. There is no one solution for us to prevent the onset of it in our bodies. Genetics, environmental factors and what we eat and do to our bodies are a combination of what can trigger the inherent cancer cells in our bodies to cause damage to our health. There is also no one solution for the cure of cancer.
I am, by no means, an expert in this matter as I have never come face to face with it but what I can infer is life is too short. Our days are numbered and all of us have the same final destination called death. God loves us so much that He gave us a chance to be conceived and to live. Be thankful of the life He’s blessed us! Be thankful of the will He has empowered us with to make the decisions for a life well-lived - cancer or no cancer.
