I had a form of throat cancer, in 2009. Diagnosed 3 years to the day that I lost my mother to throat cancer. I am lucky for now 16 years I am cancer free. But for many the end was sad. No one deserves to go through this nasty disease, and friends and family surely don't deserve the pain of watching their loved ones pass way.
