Silent Screams

[Guest guest]

First I will apologize for the rantings I am about to do! Today I am going to a

funeral. A friend died of colon cancer. You probably say so; she was at the

emergency room of No. Fla. Regional Med. Center last September and had an x-ray

of her hips. Said she had broken her tail bone. She was in the hospital for

severe anemina for which they could find no cause in December. They were told

she had bood in stools. May was put in the hospital and this time found the

colon cancer and it had spred all thru her body, especially her spine.

In the last year I have lost three friends to cancer - all three had the same

thing in common; they were poor and had no insurance.

Is there something wrong with this. I have two insurances and they can't seem

to do enough - I imagine if I wanted marijuana, I could get it. But with the

new Medicade program in Florida, a lot of people are left out.

And I guess I feel guilty - after four years I am still alive and healthy -

makes me want to scream. Sorry
