I have an internet friend who I've only met once but I've grown close to as she runs a support group on Facebook for my daughter's genetic condition. Anyway, she's had stage 4 colon cancer for a few years now. She's only 44. Its definitely terminal. She's had over 50 doses of chemo trying to prolong her life. She's trying to live her life and went upstate this past week to go snowmobiling. Something she has done her whole life and the family loves doing. Her daughter was driving with her riding as passenger and they hit a few small bumps and it broke her back. All the doses of chemo caused osteoporosis. She was taken for emergency surgery. The doctor told her if she didn't have surgery she'd be permanently paralyzed. So now she has to go through months of rehab just to walk again and this is all happening 6 hours away from her home. The whole thing is sickening. Cancer not only kills but it also breaks families while they fight the cancer. Cancer is pure evil. I've lost my mother and MIL to cancer and this poor woman with 2 children and such a strong advocate for women that have the condition that killed my daughter is suffering so much. It just breaks my heart.
