Good day, amazing people of Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. It is another edition in the #hivelearners community. I am so delighted to participate in this week's prompt for a cure.
Cancer is one of the sicknesses that people are battling with. In most cases, people who are carriers don’t even know. Many people have lost their lives as a result of cancer. Last month I lost my aunt in the cold hands of death. She had breast cancer, but she never knew. By the time she realised that she had cancer, it had gotten to the final stage. She had surgery, and one of her breasts was removed. After some months, she was in pain in the other breast, and when she went back to the hospital, it happened that the other breast had been affected by cancer. At that point, there was no money for her to go for another surgery. Before the family could raise some money, she gave up the ghost. The death of my aunt was painful. It was not easy for me to move on because I put in everything I had just to save her life.
Cancer is a very terrible disease. If you have a friend who has cancer and you journey with them, you will realise how terrible cancer is. I don’t even pray for my enemy to be a carrier. Millions of people die of cancer every year.
Coming this week: prompt if hidden somewhere in my genes is a cure for cancer, will I be willing to allow doctors and pharmaceutical giants to run tests on me?
Of course, if I hear that my body could save a life, I will be excited. I will be overwhelmed that my body can really save a lot of people who are carriers of cancer. It is really a big cross to carry. If I must say, my life will not be normal again because at every given time I am in the hospital and the doctors are running tests on me. Sincerely, I will turn into an instrument for the doctors. As much as I want to be a saviour, I still have my own life to live. There are many things I would love to achieve, but being a test instrument for the doctors will not be easy. I have no life of my own, no privacy no freedom. Also, it will affect me physically and emotionally.
Hmmm, I swear if time is not taken, I may even lose my life during this series of tests that the doctors will keep running on me. It is a huge sacrifice, if I may say so, and it is not easy. I am this kind of person that doesn’t want to see people suffer. If my genes will save some lives, I will do that. There is this joy I always have anytime I save a life. I know it will not be easy for me; at a point I may be pushed to give up, but what really matters is I was able to save some lives before I gave up.
If I must say the truth, I can’t spend the rest of my life as a test instrument for the doctors. If it starts affecting my mental health, I will withdraw. While being a saviour, I should also consider my well-being.
Cancer is a very terrible disease. If you have anyone battling with cancer, all they need is your support and care. It is not easy for them because they are passing through a lot of pain.
