wedding 2 of 5 derailed by the big C
I don’t think I know of a single person whose life has not been affected by cancer. I also don’t think I understand why this one medical demon has evaded a cure. With all of the things this world has accomplished, we’re still stopped by the miniscule cells in our body.
Didn’t make it to Wedding 2 of 5 this Sunday because my uncle who had been successfully (or so we thought) battling a rare form of cancer for 4 years is back in the hospital, waiting to meet with a specialist. Without too many details, things aren’t looking great but we always have hope.
We’ve lost others in our family to cancer. The hardest part is seeing my father so upset and attempting to comfort him.
But our family motto is “whatever is meant to happen will happen” and we know we can’t stop living.
I recently had these videos sent to me and they are perfect examples of folks who have never stopped living:
Found this through an article on CNN about a couple who has been together for 72 years!! They blog and tweet! This video is from their blog:
This is a video of a Holocaust survivor who is, along with his family, dancing to ‘I Will Survive’ at Auschwitz:

I am so sorry to hear this, but I love your optimistic attitude. I will keep your family will be in my thoughts.
We’ve seen too much of it in our family too. I’m so sorry!
I’m so sorry to hear about your uncle. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.
thank you ladies!
So many stories like this lately it seems; just makes me so sad. Sending positive vibes to you and your family!
Ooh, forgot to mention this amazing book I’ve just read. It seems that there’s just not much hope for a cure as our bodies are inundated with so many things that feed the cancer cells that we all have in our body. The most insane thing is that by changing our diet and eating certain foods (and avoiding the typical western diet) we can help our body fight cancer on its own. It’s an amazing read and the author is an MD and PhD that has survived brain cancer.
It’s called Anti-Cancer: A new way of life. Your uncle would most surely find hope and inspiration in it.
thank you! will have to check it out.
Sandhya, I am so sorry to hear about your uncle! My prayers to you and your family!
Thanks for sharing those videos, they impart so much hope! My crappy attitude has changed completely…I really needed those today!
Miss you!
