I just read that John Kerry's wife is battling breast cancer. It got me thinking of all the horrible illnesses in our world and wonder and pray that they will find cures soon for some of these killers.

Breast cancer has stricken so many women. I think of Farrah Fawcett and poor Christina Applegate, and gosh so many others.

Cancer has been around at least as long as I have and I simply must wonder why oh why with today's modern medicine we haven't found a cure. frown

I know it's a time of joy but I think also, a time for all of us in good health to take time to appreciate it.

This doesn't have to be ONLY about breast cancer. You can discuss any disease or illness you want them to find a cure for.

For me, one disease I would like to see eliminated is alzheimers. It's so so awful.
