Where were you a decade ago? Ten years ago, I was a mom to two cute young
girls (I still would have my precious little boy), I was perfectly happy with my job (although
my wish of being a Stay At Home Mom has been my forever wish, even ten years
ago), I have a wonderful husband, my mom was still around. My life was just starting to begin.

Sadly, for one high school
friend, her life had come to an end. Because of breast cancer.
friend, her life had come to an end. Because of breast cancer.
I have never really known her
pain, although I have heard about how she accepted everything with grace. Many times, she may have felt angry and wondered
why she had to suffer much while the rest of us led our perfectly normal lives. But, having cancer never made her felt
defeated. It made her hopeful. Her family made her believe she would be
cured. Sadly, it was not meant to be. The following year after she moved on,
her mother passed away, and in 2011, her sister also died from breast cancer.
An aunt of hers also succumbed from the same disease. It pains me to think how
one family can lose four beautiful women to cancer.

Somehow, knowing that somebody
your age; with a child, a family, with dreams, wishes, goals and aspirations
like yours, would go too soon; would practically turn your life around. I shed tears for her, myself, her child and
her family. I began to take care of my
body seriously, subject myself to annual physical exams (physical exams for
women like mammograms and pap smears can be pure torture), and I began eating
healthy food.

Sometimes I question if
trying to live healthy is the cure to becoming cancer-free. Persons I love who are practically in the
best of health became cancer victims, like my friend Gee who died of colon
cancer a year ago and my dad, who is still bravely fighting prostate cancer for
two years now. I still have to
understand why my high school friend, who has no previous family history of
cancer, will have her, her mom, her aunt and her sister die of it.

Hopefully, and I say this with a lot of
optimism, in the future, parents won’t need to bury their children, children
won’t have to grow up without the loving guidance of their moms and children
won’t need to go through the pain of watching how their mom or dad are
suffering. Hopefully, in the future, we
can defeat the big C.

I think it boils to the food we take. But I am also hopeful that we will be able to defeat cancer in the very near future. Anyway, most of the terminal diseases are already curable nowadays.

Looking back, I think cancer was not that prevalent decades ago. I think it has a lot to do now with how lifestyles evolved….stress, wrong foods, no exercise, exposure to harmful rays, and escalating pollution are now taking their toll. We all have cancer cells, but I think we have pretty much control for putting that at bay. For some who are really prone, extra efforts are needed. I believe that the body is given a coping mechanism but when the body is overloaded with toxins, it can only do so much. We probably have no control over our genes, but we have control over our lifestyle. We may not always win the battle, but there's peace knowing we did what we could.
i feel sad reading people who died or inflicted with cancer…we should be very cautious of what we eat
Cancer is getting more and more common nowadays. Sad to hear about the lost.
What a beautiful piece you have written here. Your friend was blessed to have you by her bedside. When someone dies, I don't cry for the person who have passed but for the people that they have left behind. Its pretty scary what cancer can do to a family. It sure isn't prejudiced to who gets it either. Its hard not to cry after or actually during reading this piece. Thank you for making me stop thinking of how bad my day was today, when others have it so much worse.
Until next time.

Because our world is drastically changing, the foods we take in, the lifestyle we live, the polluted environment we now have causes more uncurable diseases these days. We really have to change our lifestyle, eat healthy foods, exercise and help save our mother earth. And hope that we'll be able to really defeat the big C in the future.
I hope with the advancement of technology, they will also discover a cure to cancer. It's sad that I have known many women who are suffering from breast cancer. Lifestyle and the environment may have great impact to our health. I have read about being back basic, that is eating fresh fruits and vegetables, can help our body to resist the growth of cancer cells.
