Dear Cancer,

I am going to start off by saying, you suck. Not only have you attempted to ruin my aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends lives, but you have destroyed my mother's life, and by doing so you have destroyed mine too.

In no way can I escape you, you will always be there. Just hearing the word cancer makes me sick to my stomach. The thoughts about what you have done to the people I loved the most run through my mind, and that's the absolute worst. You make peoples' everyday life a constant struggle, while having to go through chemo, and radiation; just constantly draining the people you infect. I wish you never existed, and I wish someone could find a way to stop you. You are in everything that I use, drink or eat in my everyday life. It is like playing a game of cancer roulette with the constant thought of "If I eat this am I going to risk getting cancer? Well, I have to take my chances I guess." going through my mind.

It is truly sickening that everybody has to go through life worrying if they will have a run in with you one day, whether it is themselves or somebody that they love. I saw what you had done when you infected my mom with Pancreatic cancer, and I would never wish that upon anyone. In her last weeks, she was on a morphine drip to stop the extreme pain you left her with. She couldn't talk, nor move, and you were the cause of that. She was a vegetable before she died, and I get the most deteriorating feeling thinking about it because that was engraved into my brain. You left me with that thought, and I hate you because of it. You don't just impact those who you are directly infecting, but you impact everybody because we know you are around and that we can't find a safe treatment for everybody yet. I can't even write the feeling of rage I get when I think about you.

I wish it was possible for you to get cancer, so you could see what the families and victims of you feel like. You have taken countless victims and destroyed millions of families. I just wish you never existed, and I cannot wait until the day we find a cure for your ruthlessness and put a stop to you.

Signed with hatred,

A victim of your cruelty.
