Cancer Sucks!

I wrote this blog right after my sister, Jackie, was diagnosed with cancer in August of 2010, but never published it…. Sadly, she lost her battle 20 months after she was diagnosed.


I was introduced to cancer in November of 2001, when it invaded my mom's body. It hit me like a sucker punch right in the stomach......the way I viewed the world took on a whole different meaning....8 months after her diagnosis, she lost her battle with cancer.

Fast forward 8 years.......the same month that my mom died 8 years earlier, I got the news that my sister has cancer.....this time the punch is much harder, it stops me dead in my tracks, my sister has cancer....I can hardly get the words out of my mouth before the sadness bellows up from my core and the tears begin to flow.

My mind is foggy, my body is tired, from trying to process through what is happening to my sister......I ask why? no one can answer. I don't understand why this is happening to my sister. I hear in the back of my head.....this is part of God's plan. Well guess what? If this is part of God's plan, then God's plan SUCKS! It's not fair and I don't like it one bit!

Cancer sucks......it drains you....it fogs your brain and zaps your energy.....and I'm just talking about what it does to me.
