Hi Jacqueline,

Beautiful picture of Ana. I so agree with what you said. Working with cancer research, I realized that Cancer and other serious diseases are not bullies on the playground you can overcome with psychologic/ spiritual warfare or top medical arsenal.

It is cells, viruses, it is biology. It does not care if you are a body builder, have the most positive attitude in the world or the number of Hail Marys you said.

Sometimes patient gets cured and it's not by virtue of their strength. Similarly patients die and it's not because they were weak.

It is unfair to place the burden on patients and families that they need to be stronger, more positive or trust God more when they are already going through the most trying of times.
