Cancer is supposed to keep itself on a distance
So it´s here. That thing I have only seen on distance. People that I don´t know get it all the time. And now it found it´s way into my world. Cancer. Not anyone in my imidiate family but close enough. First of all he got this diagnose in march and my mom bothered to tell me yesterday. that´s 9 months. I might live thousands of miles away but I still wanna know!! Stuff like that you just don´t forget to tell people! Second. Swedish healthcare sucks so bad. Got diagnose in March in SEPTEMBER he get called in for surgery. 6 months later. And by then it was to complicated to do surgery... Whatever that means. So he´s on chemo and some other meds I guess. I know we have good healtcare compared to so many other countries but...6 months. He might be fine. I donno. But what if he´s not. And even if he is next person might not be. I have heard that the most important with cancer is to catch it early. Well it doesn´t really matter that you catch it early if you have to wait 6 months for your treatment. It shouldn´t be that you have to walk around with a lifethreatning thing in your body when there is something that can be done. My mom told Sam (the one with cancer) that he have to keep calling the hosptial and pester them to get to come but why should he have to?! In my fantasy world you get diagnosis one day and they should schedule your surgery if it´s needed within a month. Everybody know that the longer you wait the worse it will get. And im sure there is people out there who have waited even longer. And it sucks. It´s peoples lives we´re talking about. It´s not the flu it´s fuckin freakin CANCER. It kills. It kills all the time. Everyday. This is not how it´s supposed to be. Not just because now it´s effecting me.

I know exactly how you are feeling. My very precoius daughter was diagnosed April 07 with Cervical Cancer, she fought it for one year and in May this year they could do no more for her. She passed away on 23rd May.You never expect it to happen to your own family.I\'m so utterly lost without her.Rita
I am so sorry for your loss. I can\'t even imagine how you feel. I don\'t know how I would learn to breath again after losing someone so close.
