If I had the power to create a cure for any kind of sickness, it would definitely be cancer without thinking twice. I would dedicate all my time and resources to developing a cure for every type of cancer, without leaving any variation untreated.
If I am not mistaken, Cancer is one of the most devastating diseases humanity is facing at the moment. According to WHO , one in six deaths is caused by cancer; in 2020 there were nearly 10 million deaths worldwide due to cancer. Cancer has claimed millions of lives every year; it has caused pain and heartbreaks in the lives of individuals and their families. The sad part is cancer doesn't look at faces. It knows no boundaries; it affects people of all ages, races, and walks of life. It also causes physical, emotional, and financial tolls on individuals, and this is staggering.
It’s just heartbreaking to know that every single day, people across the globe lose their lives to cancer-related sicknesses. I have seen and heard stories of people who have suffered and are still suffering from different types of cancer, and whenever I reflect on what they have been through or are going through, I am always engulfed with a deep sense of sadness.
Just witnessing or even hearing about what they endured/endure every time is incredibly painful for me to talk more of them. I can't imagine the pains they go through during treatments: chemotherapy, radiation, surgeries, and MRI scans. I heard that it often drains their physical strength and emotional resilience. Then there's usually this harsh side effects I heard of, I was told, sometimes leave the patients feeling worse in the short term, even though these treatments were meant to save their lives.
I can't imagine the fear they feel, not sure of what lies ahead, and this is not just for the individual diagnosed but also for their loved ones. I am sure this can really be overwhelming. Imagine looking at your loved one and not being sure whether treatments will work or not.
What is more devastating is if the person gets to die after all that has been done. I have seen a family become hopeless and mentally deranged; some even go into debt because of how they were stretched thin emotionally and financially.
If only wishes were horses, I would really love to create the cure for this demonic disease called cancer. Cancer doesn’t just attack the body of the person diagnosed; cancer attacks their hope, stability, and peace of mind and that of their family.
