BIG rant of mine..... BILLIONS of dollars spent every year on cancer research, yet the carnage shows no sign of slowing down! Lost another dear friend this past Friday. Diagnosed in April, I believe, underwent three operations, two or three rounds of chemo, then told nothing more could be done. Her dream was to retire early (which she did), move from the city to a place up North (which they did) and raise healthy, heritage vegetables in their greenhouse, a dream which lasted only one year. A lovely, vibrant soul, taken from us far too early! And what has all the research accomplished? More ridiculously expensive drugs to prolong the dying so that Big Pharma can get even richer! Cancer has become big business, and I doubt we will see any kind of cure in our lifetime. May you rest in peace, Mary. You are sorely missed.
