Big C strikes again! Yesterday, we went to the wake of a family friend who died of Breast Cancer. Her name was Nening (real name MaryJane) a daughter of our godmother Perla. Though I was not close with them, I still accompany my mom in law in their home. As I peep in the coffin, Nening was so beautiful and resting peacefully. Her face was so tame and thin that is different from the picture displayed above the coffin. She suffered for 8 long years agonizing but still fighting to live normally for her 2 children. According to Noel, Nening was kind and easy to be with. She communicates well during their conversation as if she has no illness. We stayed there for an hour mingle to the members of the family. After that, we went home and Noel and I discussed the cause and effect of Cancer to our human body. Simply being a woman has the greater risk for breast cancer. Different risk factors could link to have the disease. Hormones seems to play a big role in many cases of breast cancer, but how just this happens is not fully understood. Maybe proper diet, exercise, avoiding alcohol and smoke could save us from the Big C. Health is Wealth as the saying goes. To Nening, farewell and Rest and Peace.
