A family friend has recently passd away suddenly.He has travelled around the world as a Choir master/ musician.After a recent trip to Australia, he complaind about back pain.GP sent him for MRI scan/ blood tests. Last week he was asked to attend Consultant meeting "with family". Having no close family , my brother in law, his cousin went with him.
He was told he had cancer to multiple organs, kidney, brain etc.
Amazingly,a being a religious person he said "it is what it is";
Was told , prob has 12 months, last sunday he went to church, as usual to play the organ for the hymns. He died at the organ before he could play a note.
Firstly, i'm thinking if he had a choice, that would have been the way he would have chosen to go.
Secondly , I'm thinking if he had the MRI scan earlier, could he have been saved?
This makes me think about my own Prostate Cancer diagnosis and how lucky I am that it was found early.
I don't think we are far away from early detection of many cancers, a cure not so sure.

Today would have been my Daughters 39th Birthday, but sadly we lost her to Breast cancer in July 2015. She was a bright, active career Girl working with Autistic Adults until one day she found a lump in her breast, and went to see her GP, who refered her down to the local hospital Breast unit.
She was diagnosed with a grade three stage three fairly aggressive cancer, and went through all the treatments availble to her at the time, but it was too late. The cancer had spread to her Lungs, Brain, Liver and Bone, after 28months post diagnosis she was gone.
Her Eldest sister is now 3 years in remission from cancer of the cervix, after having a positive smear test after the Birth of her last child. Thank goodness they caught it at the early stage of 1B, and it was a low grade Cancer which they removed along with a radical hysterectomy,followed by tablet Chemotherapy based on Hormones.
I realise that this world is not big enough for everyone to live forever, and the consequences of trying could lead to such over population that the basic human needs of food, water, healthcare and the like would become unsustainable as our planet struggled to cope, so Nature has to have a system of cull and reproduce fitter and stronger replacements inorder for the world to go on, sad as it is for those left behind.
