#had an interesting conversation with my sister the other day. odd i guess bc my sister is pretty smart
#on paper shes smarter than me. or at least less dyslexic than me
#but she didnt seem to kno what cancer is. i mean like how it works. i mean. cancer is a mistake. a confluence of unfortunate accidents
#leading to unrestrained cellular growth. when it metastasizes. when it moves to other parts of the body. those same cells continue growing
#if u have smooth muscle cancer and it moves to your kidney. you body is trying to grow more smooth muscle on your kidney
#at least as i understand it. and she asked why it wants to kill you. it doesnt want anything. it just is. its not a thing of malicious
#intent. its neutral. it grows. it takes up resources. it takes up space. and it grows and grows until the organ it grows on stops
#functioning properly. like a parasite she said. but no. not like a parasite. it grows like an empty space. a mass of flesh. a constant
#obstructive pressure. it grows like only a tumor can. i dunno. it didnt seem to connect with her that this thing didnt want to kill our mom
#but it did anyway. and she felt weird about how long she lived after they took her off any support. but thats how cancer kills
#it stops an organ from functioning and most of those r important so it only takes one. so her heart kept beating for 12 more hrs bc it was
#meant to beat for 40 more years. but not much it could do without working kidneys and without working blood
#but that's life. that's death. that's nature. its all nutral even if it feels horrible to the individual.
#i dunno. i thought it was interesting. shes 25 and her mother had cancer for 10 years so id think shed kno more
#we're at a weird phase now bc its been a week since she died and everything feels normal. we'll see what happens at the wake this week
#its been interesting for sure bc she was sick for 10 years but my parents didnt prepare at all for her to die
#so my dad is scrambling to put together the pieces shr left behind to make sure that all the bills r paid and whatnot. he had to guess her
#computer password. she didnt tell us what she wanted us to have. she didnt tell us the importance of her jewelry and who it belonged to
#before her. i dunno. we're seeing the outline of my mothers Pathology in what she left behind. both in the physical objects and in the
#feelings she imparted. i dunno. its been weird
