The Ugliest Word

Cancer is the ugliest word in the English language Trust me, no other word conjures up so much sufferage Most results concur But can be blurred Surely cancer tops them all, it's brutally savage

I couldn't agree more Jack, we all have family affected by that terrible disease. By your comment to Mo, I hope it's not what you feared. Tom

You may have some BUT I get the majority... sorry my love! It was a real downer yesterday when we had an appointment at the "cancer" center for a biopsy!!! However, it was determined it would not be necessary and she instead it was determined she had an auto-immune thingy! It was a very scary time!!! CHEERS! Love, Happy Jack XOXO
