cancer

Today, there is an article which can seem different to the others.

If you’re not interested or you think that I only want to make drama writing this title, please don’t read my article.

Few days ago, I learned that my uncle has cancer. It is an oesophagus cancer, which means that he has difficulties to eat solid aliments, for the moment. He started to be very tired every time, having stiffness and many sore throats. I wont explain what is cancer exactly, I’m sure that you know the causes and consequences.

I see my uncle as a hero. He doesn’t know if he will survive, he doesn’t know if he will die, but there is one thing sure ; he keeps smiling to the life, he acts in a way of the omission of the disease to prove that it wont affect his life. I think that is a great solution to keep his chin up, but sometimes you just can’t live without seeing the disease, and the most important, you mustn’t deny it.

The main characteristics of a hero aren’t to overcome impediments and enemies ? Here, cancer is the obstacle, the enemy, and my uncle is the hero.

I admire his strength of doing like everything was normal, like he could continue his life without being damaged into himself, being exhausted of the lower effort….

Chemo is an experience, that I couldn’t tell because I didn’t knew those states and feelings, only people who experimented it can describe it.

So yes, my uncle is a hero, he never complains about how rude and unfair is life, he just tries to spread happiness, when some people wants to draw attention on their personal life. In my uncle’s case, it doesn’t deals with moaning about the weather, school and many others useless things, here, it deals with a life which can be stopped violently, the loss of a person which count in somebody’s life.

So, enjoy your life as long as you are in good health, take pleasure in simple things, you don't know when life is going to stop, so out of respect for sick people, you must appreciate this beautiful life which offers to you !

I consider that this article is a bit more personal than the others, but sometimes, I see this blog as an opportunity of express what I can’t say in the real life, like an old drawer where I put those things which annoys me, so I apologise if it disturbs or upsets you, I perfectly understand if you think that this is not the best place to talk about that.
