Kick Cancers Ass

Since this is my blog and I can cry if I want to then the same goes for I can write what I want to and today we are talking about cancer. Almost every family is effected in one way or another with cancer. I have volunteered for the American Cancer Society Relay for life for 2 years now and this year I am on the committee and I have always thought about my grandparents and loved ones that died of cancer while volunteering but little did I know just how close cancer would hit home to me. My uncle was diagnosed with prostate cancer several months ago and because of its severity and growth my dad decided it would be a good time to get stuff checked out for him as well. My dad informed me this weekend that he now also has prostate cancer as well. His tests came back positive and he will undergo radiation of some form since surgery is not an option for him. Im not sure what to even think about all of this. Its one thing to hear that my dad was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis a few years ago but now this. I know that he is the toughest man I know so I know he is going to do everything he can to fight this. I want him to be here for a very long time so Im asking for lots of prayers for my dad and uncle and to kick this cancers ass because if anyone can do it I know these 2 can. This years Relay for Life will be for my uncle and dad and its going to have a lot more meaning to me as a volunteer and committee member.
