We Can Minimize The Statistics

Today I read the sad story of a young fresh graduate who was defeated by metastatic high-grade unclassified sarcoma. It was tragic but she was not afraid. At the beginning of her diagnostic and following a major operation, she even refused to continue with pain killers to ease her pain, as it was not doing anything good to help her.

Seeing her smile when graduation was brought to her hospital bed; proudly adorning her graduation robe and mortar board, it clearly showed her courage about life. She was too weak to stand up yet strongly participating with everyone who was there to celebrate her. She was the youngest of three siblings, the Lord choose her among them as she said she was the strongest, and she was willing to face the sickness in her own way.

The big C was consuming her so fast, there was so much more that she wanted to do, ambitions to fulfill, the world to travel and the oceans to venture. But the Lord knows best and He took her home less than a year after she discovered the vengeance of the tumor.

My readers please support and donate to the research of Sarcoma; it is very much under-researched and under-funded. You can pick your own hospital or institution to donate, let’s make a different so that together we can minimize the statistics.

In pace requiescat “M”!
