I’ve recently found out through my blood-related uncle that her wife (my aunt), who’s been battling with stage 3 breast cancer for more than two years now, has been diagnosed with bone cancer. What the…? It didn’t sink into my mind instantly, at first I thought he was kidding. But when I re-read his SMS, I felt every word was in a kind of soul wrenching pain.
I know my uncle loves his wife so much and he’ll do everything to save her. I also know that he did so much for her to get cured but to no avail. You see, my aunt has even developed a new kind of cancer, and to think it’s the most painful of all the cancers known to man today. I admire my uncle for standing by her side all through these years. It’s very hard to be in his situation.
