Cancer- Latin (genitive Cancri) (1)
a : a malignant tumor of potentially unlimited growth that expands locally by invasion and systemically by metastasis
b : something evil or malignant that spreads destructively
We all know what cancer is. It is an atrocious word that you never want to hear attached to the name of a loved one, although recently it seems like it is everywhere, “contagious” if you will like a common cold. It surrounds us, rears its ugly head into the lives of the ones we love, taking over their body, poisoning their will and dampening their soul.
It symptoms show in us too, somehow, as we are also constantly tired, anxious and frightened. Afraid to leave their side, tired of the ups and downs of the emotional roller coaster that is Cancer.
It seems as if everyone around you is full of empathy, but is scared of approach. What can one say to bring comfort to one who has lost faith?
