What do I have to say about cancer that most people haven’t already heard?  It totally sucks… You can buy a shirt, hat, bracelet, probably even yoga pants with the phrase across the butt saying as much.  I don’t think I have some Mother Theresa or Gandhi type of insight into the world of cancer simply because I helped care for my mom when she was going through treatment.  I am simply a daughter who stood by her mom while she suffered at the hands of cancer.  I watched with devastation as each step of her treatment seemed to take a little bit more of her, and a selfish part of me feared for the day I might also have to suffer as she does.  I felt helpless, but did what I could to keep her as safe and healthy as possible.  That was all I could do.
