What Cancer Can't Do

Cancer is so limited....
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot eat away peace,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot destroy confidence,
It cannot shut out memories,
It cannot quench the spirit,
It cannot lessen the power of the resurrection.

Cancer is such an ugly desease. My mother died of cancer when I was 16. It was very hard not having her. Anytime they open you up to operate on cancer, and the air hits it, it will spread. I know sometime in my life I will have cancer, as it is the only thing that has taken my relatives. I just have to say to you. Remeber your father as the man he was before he got this desease. Remember the good times and he will always be with you. Also express your love and feelings to him now as you may never have the chance again. You have my prayers.

I googled my memory and wasn't far off. It was the end of 1971. Here it is:

National Cancer Act of 1971
In 1970, the American people made clear their desire for a cure for the second-leading cause of death in the United States. President Nixon responded during his January 1971 State of the Union address: "I will also ask for an appropriation of an extra $100 million to launch an intensive campaign to find a cure for cancer, and I will ask later for whatever additional funds can effectively be used. The time has come in America when the same kind of concentrated effort that split the atom and took man to the moon should be turned toward conquering this dread disease. Let us make a total national commitment to achieve this goal."

As part of this national effort, in October 1971, the Army's Fort Detrick, Maryland, biological warfare facility was converted to a cancer research center, eventually becoming the Frederick Cancer Research and Development Center, an internationally recognized center for cancer and AIDS research.

On December 23, 1971, President Nixon followed through on his promise as he signed the National Cancer Act into law, declaring, "I hope in the years ahead we will look back on this action today as the most significant action taken during my Administration."1

The National Cancer Act (P.L. 92–218), "The War on Cancer," gave the NCI unique autonomy at NIH with special budgetary authority. The Cancer Chemotherapy National Service Center (CCNSC) increased its efforts to acquire new compounds for testing with the awarding of an acquisition and in

Well Michelle, my dad's attitute is different day to day. Sometimes it seems like he's okay with it. Other times he gets paranoid if the thinks his heart is beating alittle faster or his O2 numbers are alittle low. The thing that bothers him the most is that he can't be as active as he wants to be. No more motorcycle for the time being, he miss out going to the lake for the long weekend since he was in the hospital. But the girls really keep him going, he still watches our oldest 2-3 times a week during the day.

Im very sorry to hear of your dad having the cancer. I know just what you are going through as I myself am caring for my mom who had lung & liver cancer. tomorrow ill be taking her for her 4th cemo treatment.
Its very hard to do all the things I need to do for her but I do manage to get her taken care of. And right now she is doing pretty good. She dont do a lot as she just cant. But she is able to enjoy herself most days.
I do hope that you are able to find a outlet & the people here at the blogs are a great support system
