This is the sixth time I have tried to write this diary. Each time it has turned into the kind of paint peeling rant that would require you the reader--to wear a welding mask as a protective measure. It is safe to say, in a fully sarcastic voice, that I am a wee bit annoyed right now with the constant barrage of STOOPID I see all around me, regarding the topic of this diary.
Also know, that dealing with cancer is terrifying. That is what is behind all this is fear, indignation, hurt, and disappointment. Because I truly believe, perceive, that we as a nation could do so much better by cancer patients, any medical patients at all really. So what I offer you are just a few suggestions out of many more I could make, but just cannot fit into one diary. You don't have to agree with me, but consider where I am coming from. Oh and the anger--that's all me telling you how I see it. That's me being impatient with humanity, for not seeing what I believe is obvious to those with a reasonable education in health and medicine and nutrition. This is me screaming out to the universe to all that need to hear me--Why the Hell Do you Put People Through This, when there are ways to reduce their pain, and suffering or even alleviate some or all of their conditions? WHY!
So put on your fire retardant gear and jump through the orange portal and take a walk on my wild side. And if you are disappointed that I didn't curse more or make nasty commentary more, then I will have succeeded in some small amount of self control during the writing of this diary. It will be a testament to my affection for this site.
