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?

Very sorry to hear this story. I lost both of my parents to cancer. They both smoked a lot, which I believe was a reason for their ailment. I hate cancer but I also hate smoking. Ha, when I get someone at the door asking for a donation for cancer, I am tempted to say, "No, I hate cancer so I won't support it. I will donate for cancer research to find a cure, however." And I do, because of my folks.
