I've been watching a few films about Cancer recently, one I can't remember the name this guy gets Cancer and his friend sticks by him but his gf leaves him. He survives and the other night I saw 'my sister's keeper' about a young girl with Leukemia. She dies at the end of the film. I'm not sure how realistic they really are but they did give me a good insight and a 'wake up' call into the whole thing.

I recently had a family friend die of cervical cancer she was only 35. Kind of made me think a bit more carefully I guess.

It's a terrible illness. You feel so powerless. And there's nothing you can do about it.

Yeah it must be awful Vanessa, not only the illness but also the treatment. The chemo must be terrible.

Mum didn't even get the chance to get treatment. By the time they found out she had cancer it was too late.
