Essay contest honorable mention week #1: Crystal Owen

Cancer has in a way changed my world. My best friend, she has recently been diagnosed with cervical cancer. It was a traumatic discovery for her. She has been my friend, my rock, and my supporter, since we first met. It was shocking that she could have such a thing. Now she has treatments, and doctor visits that she has to attend, as well as her work, and her chores at home. She somehow battles it and still after, the day well spent, and she’s tired, we still talk in the evenings. I know it is selfish to wish that it never happened to her, and she really did nothing to cause it, but I just wish I could make it all go away for her, all her pain. And then about a week ago or so, the doctors that she was seeing, think that she may not be able to have children, when that was one of her dreams in life, was to have a little bundle of joy. My fiancé’s grandmother was also affected by cancer. She is currently undergoing chemo-therapy, for breast cancer. She doesn’t want to lose her breasts, but if the chemo, does not take, then she may have no choice. She is a wonderfully, and strong woman, but we all understand that she is in her elder years, and may not have much more of a kick left. Its sad, but when dealing with cancer, there really is no happy ending, to the story, unless miracles are involved.
