To be clear, my Mom has cancer but it's under control (as much as it can be,) my stepdad (her husband) also has cancer and it most definitely isn't under control and is going to kill him. They are very poor, have a bad mortgage on my Mom's home, and I'm doing the best I can to help them - but my best isn't always enough, and I can't cure rare forms of totally fatal cancer, no matter how much I want to.
