‘Unfortunately’…..WTF?

2 May

It’s 2.04 am, I can’t sleep.  I’m at the computer and just clicked on a link to a story about one woman’s aim in life, following her diagnosis of breast cancer.  (There are a lot of these stories going around at the moment in the lead up to Mother’s Day).

Hoping (maybe wrongly expecting) to be inspired – I got three paragraphs in, to read ‘unfortunately  the cancer returned, this time to *name withheld*’s liver, brain and lungs, and in December last year she lost her three year battle’….

Unfortunately?!  Who wrote this?!

Unfortunate doesn’t even begin to describe this situation.

I haven’t finished reading the article.  I shut down the page with tears in my eyes and a heavy, heavy heart.
