My friends' mother was diagnosed with cancer. Was found on the spinal cord. Chemo starts today. They said it's highly treatable but it's "not beatable," whatever that means. I've known this family for pretty much half my life, it doesn't even sounds real. I know it could be a lot worse, but it really makes you stop and think. Just hearing the word is scary. I can't even imagine how they must feel if I feel like this. It could be any one of us at any time.
