I hate the "C" word

I really do hate the "C" word.
No I'm not talking about the crass and vulgar term used to describe part of a womans anatomy or personalty, No not that "C" word.
I'm talking about the other one, cancer.
I just found out that one of my favorite Aunts has stomach cancer, and they really cant do to much for her.
Well ok, they can do kemo and a new drug therapy, but surgery just wont help at this point.
I'm not a doctor and I really have no idea how these things work, maybe thats why I feel like I do , you know the feeling , you want desperately to help, but there is nothing you can do , so you look for other was to help but at this point there is still nothing you can do , so you end up feeling helpless and frustrated.
Yep feeling like shit.
And being one of the younger kids in the family, and the only guy left, well, I really want to be able to do something, its like I have this duty to fulfill.
Ya old fashond, but I think my heart is in the right place .
So now we wait, see what further tests and therapys will do,I have faith in science and medicine and mans ability to solve problems. But there are time when you have to deal with the card that have been dealt.
So for now we wait and see what happens next.
