It just sounds so aggressive, it's so sad! Poor little guy, he has no idea what is going on and why he is in so much distress. Ugh. I just makes you wish that these types of burdens could be on those who can understand, talk to the doctors and bear the burdens easier, you know?? At least that is how I usually feel. I hate to think of any one or any creature suffering.

Our one good guidance counselor at school has an aggressive tumor that is growing on the meninges of his brain and in the bone. It grows outward, so you can see the spread over his skull and his face. It's so heartbreaking. The doctors said this is something he'll have for life, and the surgeries to remove it (he's had it once already, and the tumor then was the size of an orange) will not make it stop, and chemo and all that can't kill it. It's sad. He's such a wonderful guy, just got remarried, has a 5 yr old daughter. Sigh. Always the sweet and innocent that have to suffer.
