I spent a lot of time over ten years with my son's step daughter...helped raise that kid...took her to school...picked her up...she stayed with me after school until her folks got home from jobs...just a lot of time...she is sixteen and a beautiful child...she is dying...stage four diagnosis and yesterday, she declined any further treatment as nothing was working...more cancer than bone...the treatment was brutal and ineffectual so she has basically gone home to die...pain control is all they are doing for her...there was a divorce six years ago and the kid in living on the other side of the country...I will not get to see her again, not on this side of living...it is heartbreaking...
My father died of cancer and my sister has myeloma...it is a wicked disease and I wish the powers that be would spend as much time searching for cures and answers that they spend on making weapons and other stupid, destructive things...
