It’s a holiday! Time to make your favorite food, a la Martha Stewart. Time to eat. Time to exercise. Time to read your friend’s cancer blog and… oh. It’s un-effing-believable that my friend’s cancer is back.
As a mom, wife, professional, academic, my friend embodies unadulterated brilliance in her unfiltered storytelling. You learn more about cancer and tests and therapies and side effects than any doctor would ever dare tell.
Her stories are hopeful and disparaging all at once. And four letters eff, you, see, kay, describe every kind of feeling about the fact that SHE HAS CANCER.
Reminds me of that scene in Luc Besson’s film “The Family“, where De Niro’s son is describing how his dad can use the F-word to describe joy, pain, shock, anger, etc.
Well said, Besson.
