stinking disease when i pulled out of my cousins driveway on hwy 7 east near janetville on sunday morning i let the tears fall two short years ago ross was a fine looking healthy man today his health is shot and his good looks are gone cancer saw to both my sunday visit had a purpose i took lunch to my cousins family and i went to say goodbye to ross he has entered the back stretch cancer has spread throughout touching vital organs theres no turning back no chance of recovery my cousin is too weak to walk stand or sit up hes on a morphine patch oxygen and a fluidsonly diet he speaks in a faint whisper ross is a skeleton of his former self and hes so very very tired when ross was diag nosed with colon cancer he declined surgery or any seri ous treatment including chemotherapy for reasons only he knows he rejected hospital treatment and opted to die at home on the farm in janetville my cousins mother two sons his daughter and his lady friend respected that choice with help from a com munity healthcare service the people who love ross are tending to his needs 24 hours a day seven days a week theyll stay with him until the end and the end is near his is not an easy death cancer is not letting this man off the hook peacefully its having its way and ross joan ransberry doesnt understand why hes being taken before reaching his senior years he did all the right things i never drank never smoked never ate junk food he whispers i agreed its not fair i told him he was a good cousin and i loved him then i said goodbye theres nothing special about the cancer thats taking
