Surrounded by cancer

I've been trying to regularly read my friend Terri's breast cancer blog http://chemogirlspeaksout.blogspot.com/
but I have to admit, it's freaking me out. My window at work overlooks the entrance to the Regional Oncology Center. And one of my new Syracuse friends a cancer treatment planner at another area hospital. And of course my stepfather, Jerry Martin, is being treated for prostate cancer. I feel quite surrounded by the disease. And I'm reaching an age where it's a pretty disquieting feeling.
