Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole,
n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!
Pe' ll'aria fresca pare gia' na festa...
Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole.
Ma n'atu sole
cchiu' bello, oi ne'.
'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
‘o sole, ‘o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!
Quanno fa notte e 'o sole
se ne scenne,
me vene quase 'na malincunia;
sotto 'a fenesta toia restarria
quanno fa notte e 'o sole
se ne scenne.
Ma n'atu sole
cchiu' bello, oi ne'.
'o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
‘o sole, ‘o sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!

its tragic the amount of people dying of cancer. My uncle died from the same cancer where he was 72. May Luciano Pavarotti Rest in Peace.

Actually.....
Belinda by maria Edgworth written 1811 ( I think) around then anyway... several reerances to cancer.
Also one of Gene Stratton-Porter's books ( 1910s and 20s) talks about cancer burning, branding and slowly eroding a persons soul for years in a slow and painful death that would not be wished on anyone.
And if I sat here long enough I could probably think of a few more literary referances to it.

Click on the link (if you haven't already) and see if you are laughing then.
It seems absurd to me. Just out of curiousity, why do you find this so disturbing?
"...if you weren't smart enough to get a pedophile in a dress to put a small amount of water on the child’s forehead, then what the eff did you think was going to happen?
People are living longer, so there is more of a chance of getting it before you die of some other cause. Pavorotti died at 71. Twenty years ago life expectancy for a male was under 70.poor Mr Pavarotti

Some letter of that After-life to spell:
And by and by my Soul return'd to me,
And answer'd "I Myself am Heav'n and Hell :"
