Fuck cancer

[fufaraw]

I lost a friend today, after a long battle made needlessly more difficult and painful by the US medical system. She was bright, articulate, sarcastic with a soft sympathetic underbelly and a practical way of getting things done. She was a light, not just to me, but to many others, and she'll be missed.

There are so many others, many of them prominent in today's news who, if the world was fair, deserved her fate far more than she did. It fills me with rage that they're still here, and she's not.

Right now, everything stinks.
