Fuck You, Cancer.
Today’s Mad Monday is brought to you by my hatred of gooddam cancer.
It has taken my mother, my uncle. It has taken friends. It has come for friends and been fought off. I have friends still fighting it as I type. I, myself have watched a laser (on cctv) blast precancerous cells off my cervix. It was satisfying.
But I’m just off the phone from my favourite aunt. She’s got fucking cancer and it is spreading. The oncologists are on it with everything they have. She may not last three months.
She is so very upbeat. She is philosophical and full of stories and laughter and anecdotes. She is the apotheosis of grace.
Cancer is stealing her. Fuck you, cancer.

My captcha is “Bleque This” which I think is captcha-speak for “Fuck Cancer”
