[You Need a Thneed]

I hate cancer. My mom was relatively healthy for a 60 year old woman - she still loved to hike, and stuff like that. She had breast cancer 5 or 6 years ago, but that was treated, and we thought was gone.

This summer, she starts getting a little bit tired, but that could be because of any number of things. This sickness/tiredness persists, so she goes to see the doctor. Ultrasound is scheduled, wait for results, CT scan is scheduled, and while we were waiting for results, mom got to the point where she couldn't get up from the couch by herself, and she hadn't rally eaten much for a while. My dad took her in to the hospital a week ago.

Anyway, she has days, maybe weeks to live.

Two of my wife's aunts have already died from cancer, it took my grandma too, and others related to both of us. Others have had it, and recovered, but it's still hard.

I hate cancer. Can we make a plan to exterminate it within 10 years?
