My Aunt which was my Mother's second younger sister was diagnosed with a colon cancer considering that they are living in the province or countryside which has a lot of vegetables that they can buy. We do not know the cause but it might be a hordes of different things or factors but maybe due to lack of bulk or fiber in her diet or her diet alone or it might be her age we are not so sure.
But now she is ill and was taken recently in the hospital to take some of the diseased tissue from her colon. Now we learned that she can be able to walk already but she is still ill because she has a stage-4 cancer. It is really a major blow to our family so my mother is upset obviously because my Uncle which is my mother's brother had died recently and that will be a year of each other.
So there would be a lot of tears flowing once the see each other again. Too bad that I could not go with my mother to visit our relatives in their province because I never had the good chance to live with them at least for a vacation except with only a few days at the wake of my grandfather and that was so long a time a go already.
So I regret the time that I could have known my kindred there but due to lack of finances we had never get the real chance to get together or set-up a family reunion.
Now we have the means to go there because my eldest brother had a car that they can use to visit my mother's side of the family and I am happy for my mother. I will just give her some cash that she can use for the said trip and visit my poor Aunt that I never knew would acquire such terrible and hard disease.
