Cancer sucks!

Cancer sucks!  
   My aunt was just diagnosed with breast cancer. My Mammaw had breast cancer. My uncle had cancer. My brother in law had brain cancer.
The thought of someone else in my family with cancer is horrible. My aunts cancer is the same type as my Mammaws. Now we have to see if it is genetic.
   My aunt is not just my aunt. She is one of my best friends. She is only 13 years older than me.  I tell her everything. See, I am about to cry just thinking of her. We have been through so much together. We even lived together for a time. We had shared so many things together. MANY happy times but a few sad. The loss of my grandparents(her parents), for example.
   When my aunt called to tell me they found a lump I could not believe what I just heard. She said I got quiet. I guess I was as I had so many things running through my head. Sort of deja vu. I flashed back to when Mammaw called and told me she had breast cancer. This cant be happening again.
   I am so worried for her. She lives all the way across the country so I cant even take her to her appointments. Feeling helpless sucks. All I can do is be here for her. To listen if she wants to talk. To make a joke if she wants to laugh. I hope she knows how much I love her and how much she means to me.
  I love you Aunt Heather!
