The "C" Word

Today Lauren was in the car telling me how her teacher took her temperature in school today. She said she did not feel well (and actually does not look good) and they put the thermometer under her tongue. When they took it out it said "cancer".

Wow. My father in law just passed this summer from cancer. It isn't a word any 4 year old should know. I have to say it scared me a little. However, I wish it was that easy to detect. A lot of my loved ones might be around if it was.
