Death by Cancer

Cancer scares me. It's replicated life without purpose. Smarmy cells of pink quivering rubbery substance throwing blood tubes out to attach to everything and take over the entire host organism. Round, portruding tuberous tumours. People having their hair fall out. Life threatening Chemo. Liver function ceases. All life dies.

And it can also take the form of little patches of skin that just don't heal.

The ancient greeks felt that the worst death, was a death by drowning. They felt it was a death that held the most potential for a bad trip to the underworld. If they knew what Cancer would do to someone, I wonder if they would have changed their list.

Cancer sucks. We should end it.
