In Memoriam

[mistressace]

In memory of family and friends who have lost the battle with cancer; and in support of the ones who continue to conquer it! Post this on your LJ if you know someone who has or had cancer. 93% won't copy and paste this. Will you?

My stepfather, Bob Hood: lung cancer - 1990 - my mother has been alone since losing him.

Thamiris - incredible Smallville writer: Breast cancer - 1997 - I miss her every day.

My younger brother, Ken: colon cancer, liver cancer, lung damaged by chemo - currently cancer-free for 4 years. He just turned 50 and is going strong. Sometimes you can win.

I'm sorry for your loss.

And I'm glad that your brother has fought and won his battle against this disease

We're all touched by this in different ways. I'm currently in support of Casey, a girl like a sister to me. She's 20 years old and fighting osteosarcoma. We're still hoping she'll pull through this, but osteosarcoma is a bad cancer with a low survival rate.

And I miss Thamiris, too. I didn't know her well, but it's always hard to lose a friend.

Maternal grandfather: Liver cancer, before I was born
Maternal grandmother: Colon cancer when I was around 2
Stepfather: Lung Cancer, 1999

I keep doing the Komen 3-day in the hope that if we can cure one, we'll find a way to defeat them all.

Here's hoping!
