Cancer Benefit

Tomorrow is a cancer benefit for a young 38 year old friend of ours. He has a wife and two children and he is fighting colon cancer. He's a big guy so I guess the chemo is a little easier on him but lately it has made him more ill. I pray that they will be able to cure him as he has a lot of life ahead of him and his family need him. Cancer is an awful disease and they are doing a great deal with gene therapy now and I certainly hope they will find a cure soon. They are able to cure more people now than ever with chemo and radiation, but there are still a great many dying of cancer. It seems that breast cancer hits the women in their 35-50 years and not many of them survive. We lost a niece to it this year, leaving behind a husband and two sons.
