Cancer

Cancer. It is really everywhere. The weekend we found out Scotty had cancer, Tony Snow died of colon cancer. Today, I read about a journalist for NPR that chronicled his colon cancer fight - where cancer won the battle. Some quote on Leroy Siever's page (http://www.npr.org/blogs/mycancer/) really stood out to me:

After that day, your life is never the same. "That day" is the day the doctor tells you, "You have cancer." Every one of us knows someone who's had to face that news. It's scary, it's sad. But it's still life, and it's a life worth living. "

I think its me being selfish sometimes, but hearing all these people with colon cancer dying is so scary to me - and I don't even have it. It's Scotty who has to deal with those emotions and the reality that his body has (had) cancer.

Another week begins...back to the grind of the work week.
