Gentle Cures

I just learned our perfectly healthy looking neighbor is very ill. And I am not surprised to hear that he reacted to chemo therapies badly. I do wish that he will get well soon so among other things he and his furry friend can enjoy their many daily walks in the neighborhood again.

This bad news makes me wonder why it is so easy to contract cancer now. Not only people suffer great deal from this deadly disease, their pets as well. Two of our cats contracted cancer this year. Both of them were gone now. And I also know at least two of our neighborhood dogs died of cancer not long ago. One of them had been treated with surgeries and chemo therapy.

Based on what I heard, it sounded to me cancer treatments are harsh ones. Someone had said the cancer patients suffered more from the treatments than the disease itself. There must be other therapies available that can cure cancers. If there are not, then I urge the esteemed medical professions work hard on finding cures that are kinder and gentler to their devastated patients. - Ayes
