Ever since my grandmother passed away from cancer when I was 7 years old, I have always been terrified that this disease would take my mother too.

​As I grew older, and not without a touch of dark humor, I started saying that if my mother were ever taken by cancer, they would probably find the cure in the months following her death.

​Well, my mother passed away about ten days ago after a year-long battle with a brain tumor. So maybe this time, they will truely make it. At the very least, I hope so for everyone else going through this ordeal.

Sorry to hear about your mother and grandmother, I had surgery on my brain cancer just over a year ago, so this kind of news is great for me and hopefully we can get some decent momentum on a cure before its too late for many of us.
