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.
