Reality Check

I think that a 23 year old being diagnosed with cancer in his esophagas puts my life into perspective. How can a 23 year old who never smoked and whose parents never smoked have such a serious form of cancer at so young an age? It really makes you questions why and how are these things decided. He is the last person who deserves this and the last I would expect to have it. Also, why does the appointment with the specialist have to be on September 11th? Could there be a worse day to receive what could be even more bad news? My thoughts and prayers are with all of you - hang in there.
