My family has just lost a young member about the same age as your family member to cancer. I was feeling very angry about this due to the cutting of funds to medical research that would help in discovering treatments and the lack of medical care for young people. This young person had to wait months to get approved for medicaid before the hospital would start the treatments. We will never know if that delay led to his untimely death. This particular cancer is very treatable if caught early, so funding of robust screening could save the thousands of victims of this disease.

Thank you for words of wisdom and peace, this has helped me more than I can express.

Peace and healing to you and your family.
