My wife Celia reminded me that today is National Cancer Sucks Day. Is there a description that better captures the sentiment of a day than this?
When our oldest daughter was battling cancer 11 years ago I used to wear a button that said “Cancer Sucks”. Over the years I have loaned it out to a few friends who are battling cancer and it always finds its way back. I should have worn it today.
I did go back and read an article I wrote back then that was publsihed in Newsweek about my hero, our daughter Eloise (who is now 15+).
She is a wonderful daughter who is at Camp Goodtimes with her sister this week and other cancer survivors, current patients and their siblings for a week of good times. They deserve every minute!
Here’s the article for those of you who may have missed it 10 years ago.
