CANCER
LAST DAYS OF A CANCER PATIENT
Cancer is the worst kind of illness where you doubt the existence of God. If He’s really in heaven watching you go through hell while you’re living. It’s like your last days when the doctor tells you you’ve got just less than 6 months to live and you begin to wonder what you have done and achieved in this life. You say to yourself “I’ve gathered wealth but then can I go with this wealth?” “Can I ever be happy knowing that I’d be leaving my beloved husband, children, and others in this world where their means of survival is uncertain? Why did I draw closer to them?? If only it is not too late, you’d think of leaving so you don’t ever ruin their happiness with your absence. Turns out that every day, you pray and thank God for the gift of life but why does our body accept cancer? This cancer is not life but death, the kind of death that crushes the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual state of any individual suffering from it.

The series of drugs not to talk of the comforting words from the doctor, constant support from your family who always want to hear the sound of your laughter but then you’re sure deep down that the laughter doesn’t come directly from your heart because it’s just to make them happy and stop worrying. The words, you’d get through this echo everywhere! But then why? This question echoes in our minds, God why me?? Why do You allow bad things to happen to good people?? Why do I have to go through this pain when I’ve served you faithfully in my existence? I’ve prayed and fasted for you to take away this pain from me but nothing is working and it ALWAYS ends with If you can hear me, take this pain away from me!
The thoughts that one day they’d (our loved ones) wake up to find your dead body sleeping beside them haunts you even before it happens. How would they react to this, you don’t even know. You know it’s always a funny thing when you were so full of life, smiling and being happy and then that night, you fall asleep and never wake up! It’s always like a dream and the way the world puts it, Transitioning! When you think about it, Do you want to leave them behind to watch them from above suffering your absence in this wicked world?? Won’t it be better to take them all with me?? The tears of being assured that there’s a better life up there which would be without suffering as the word of God says gives you that joy as an assurance.
YOUR LAST WARNINGS, YOUR LAST WORDS, YOUR LAST DAYS! That’s the memories they have of you to remember them!
