****i understand this entry is technically the next week, but I wanted to let you know taht I have been having some trouble with the blogger account I've set up, so that is the reason why I am doing this so late.
After reading Jodi's thoughts on the "Welcome to Cancer land" piece I found myself completely agreeing with everything Jodi wrote. Barbara Ehrenreich's stress and pain throughout the whole process of dealing with cancer is truly a situation that many people I know thankfully can't relate to. Honestly, I feel that I would be in an emotional breakdown from the second I was diagnosed, and even if I went clean for a little, I would be incredibly paranoid that the disease would come back. To continue on what Jodi said, reading a piece like this really makes one take a step back and think about life for a second. Personally, my aunt's brother, which i guess is my great uncle, was diagnosed with leukemia and died when I was really young. I don't even remember the man, but all my family has to say is great and wonderful things about him. When you hear things like that happening to people, it truly makes you appreciate what you have in your life that much more. I wish only the best in health and happiness for everyone who's path I cross in life, because no one should have to go through what Ms. Ehrenreich went through, including herself.
