Cancer on Grey's Anatomy



Last week on ABC's Grey's Anatomy, one of the main characters, Dr Izzy Stevens was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma. The surviving rate for her particular situation is only 5%. This show is on 5th season. Although it hasn't gotten as much ratings as before, I still like to follow the story.

Every time I hear someone is going through cancer, my heart hurts. I can't watch people dying of cancer on TV or movies anymore. It's because I can relate to them too much. I'm sure Grey's Anatomy will describe the importance of fighting for life and the value of having supports from friends and family. It's just a TV show and it may seem silly to be attached, but watching someone living the fullest is something always encourages me. At the same time, it makes me think maybe having a life is a miracle.
