Cancer. Though it's not a four-letter word, it sure conjures up a lot of them. I won't say the first word that popped into my mind, and out of my mouth, when I received the diagnosis of stage III breast cancer - it's a bad word, my mother would be horrified. I can tell you it wasn't Whoopee Many other four-letter words quickly joined that first, shocked sentiment. Fear, sick, pain, loss, hell, dead... You get the drift. If you've received a similar diagnosis, or know someone who has, I don't want to scare you. You're scared enough already, and have probably experienced many of those words...
