Yes, It's Ironic... I Really Do Think

Remember that song?  The one that helped place Alanis Morissette among the top female artists in the early 90s?

I heard a bit of news today that falls into that sad, twisted category as one of life's bitter ironies.  An oncologist from my particular Indian community was recently diagnosed with cancer.  Apparently, "[the prognosis] is not good... [the cancer] has spread all over her body."  She, far beyond many, is quite likely to know the ins and outs of this disease.  She and her family have difficult times ahead, and my heart goes out to them.

As Alanis phrased it, "Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you."  In this case, that sneaky bully is called Cancer and I am ready to throw down.  Help us kick its butt.
